2.3 Description of construction and function
The weinor PergoTex II is a sun and rain protection unit with a fabric that opens to protect
against the sun and rain.
The weinor PergoTex II can be fitted to any angle of pitch ranging between 0° and 25°
depending on the projection and installation height of the awning. However, optimum rain drain
can only be guaranteed with a pitch of more than 8°.
The wind resistance class 3 to wind strength 6 is applicable for the weinor PergoTex II.
When the awning is closed, the protective roof extensively protects the fabric against
weathering.
The weinor PergoTex II with LED provides an appealing outside lighting due to the LED
spotlights integrated in the transoms.
Only high-quality corrosion resistant materials are used in the weinor PergoTex II. The profiles
are made of extruded aluminium, end caps and other cast parts are made of aluminium. All
connecting parts, such as screws, are made of stainless steel.

3 General safety notes
Product and property damage
Risk of damage to the product and property due to improper use of the weinor PergoTex II.
Please read and observe the general safety notes contained in this section.
3.1 Use
•Your weinor PergoTex II has been made with great care; however, your weinor PergoTex II
is and always will be a sun and rain protection unit and must therefore be retracted
immediately during storms, snowfalls or strong winds (at and above wind strength 6). The
leafs on the glazing elements must be fully opened.
•The drive that is supplied as standard with the weinor PergoTex II has been designed to run
for a maximum of four minutes switch-on-time. If the running time is exceeded – e.g. by
frequently opening and retracting the awning – the internal thermo protector may
automatically switch off the motor. In this case, please wait until the motor has cooled down
(approx. 15 – 20 minutes depending on the outside temperature) and is ready for operation
again.
•If your weinor PergoTex II is fitted with a sun, wind or rain controller, the controls will switch
to automatic control after a loss of power depending on the type of controls. Awning systems
that had previously been set to manual operation may therefore run automatically after a loss
of power.
•If there is a risk of frost, or snow, the awning system must be switched from automatic to
manual control to prevent it from moving automatically. The system must not be used if there
is a risk of frost or snow.
•The PVC fabric must be retracted and the unit must not be set into operation if there is a risk
of frost or snow. The PVC fabric is not designed to withstand extreme snow load or
avalanching snow.
•The weinor PergoTex II can be opened to any position up to its maximum length.
•Reference to offset of staves in multi-section units
oManufacturing tolerances in the fabric could lead to staves in multi-section units being
minimally staggered in reverse.
oDifferent effects of solar radiation can lead to staggering of the staves as the fabrics
can expand due to exposure to the sun.

3.2 Use in winds
The weinor PergoTex II complies with the requirements of the wind resistance class shown on
the EC declaration of conformity printed in the instructions for assembly Instructions. The wind
resistance class achieved after assembly of the awning is heavily dependent on the type and
number of fixings used as well as the installation surface involved.
The weinor PergoTex II may only be used up to the wind resistance class specified by the
company fitting the awning. This may deviate from the wind resistance class stated by the
manufacturer.

3.4 Use in rain
To achieve the best rain drainage, the weinor PergoTex II should be set at an angle of more
than 8°.
3.5 Important guidelines for the winter season
The weinor PergoTex II is not designed to withstand extreme snowfalls or avalanching snow
loads. These have to be removed from the safety shield surface. As necessary, a snow guard
may need to be installed.
Figure 3: Removing avalanching snow
3.6 Automatic controls
A weinor PergoTex II must never be left unattended when open. The automatic controls may
fail under extreme conditions (e.g. power failures, defects, sudden storms). There is a risk that
the weinor PergoTex II could be damaged.
Our recommendation: if you vacate the area, switch the weinor PergoTex II from automatic
system control to manual control and leave it retracted.
3.7 General notes on the fabric
It is perfectly normal for a small amount of condensation to form on the fabric according to the
weather. This does not form grounds for complaint, non-acceptance or price reductions.
A PVC fabric which has been extended for a prolonged period can lose its tautness due to the
outside temperature and the effects of sun radiation.

5 Cleaning and care (By the user)
5.1 Cleaning and maintenance work in the opening space of the weinor PergoTex II
There is a risk of motorised sun protection units being activated unintentionally. Always ensure
that the weinor PergoTex II is completely switched off (e.g. by disconnecting the fuse) before
performing maintenance and cleaning work (e.g. building cleaners).
If the weinor PergoTex II is operated by several users, a steering priority locking device must be
installed (controlled interruption of the power supply from outside), making it impossible to open
or retract the weinor PergoTex II at all.
5.2 Cleaning
The following points should be carried out at least twice a year, in spring and the autumn and
after longer downtime:
Intensive cleaning of the construction, in particular the side channel, gutters and fabric
Even a low-maintenance product needs to be cared for. For this reason, please carry out the
following maintenance and care tasks as required, once every spring, or whenever the awning
has not been in use for a long time. Performing these tasks will extend the operating life of your
awning system. Foliage and other foreign bodies as well as heavy dirt must be removed
immediately.
5.3 Foliage and foreign bodies
Foliage and other foreign bodies as well as heavy dirt
•in the guttering
•in the side gutters to the left and right of the side channels
•on the fabric, etc.
must be removed immediately.
In general, all the water drainage gutters on the roof and side channels should be regularly
checked for dirt and cleaned accordingly.
Any cleaning work not carried out may lead to the premature wear of gaskets and to
leaks.
Rainwater outlet holes
•in the posts
•in the gutter,
•in the guttering safety shield
must be kept unblocked at all times to ensure that water can drain off. It is recommended that
this is checked and cleaned accordingly twice a year, in spring and the autumn.
5.4 weinor PergoTex II care
Our recommendation:
Your weinor PergoTex II has been designed for low-maintenance. In the unlikely event that it
should fail, the service work should be performed by a specialist company.
If lubricants are required during the service work, use greases, sprays or liquids that contain
elements of Teflon, PTFE or comparable agents. For best, long-lasting effects, the lubricant
must be water- and dirt-repellent. The manufacturer's guidelines must be observed at all times.
Do not use lubricants that corrode plastics.

5.5 Cleaning the powder-coated aluminium parts
5.5.1 In saltwater areas
Damage to the product
Particularly in saltwater areas, there is a possibility that salt may disperse or accumulate on the
product.
Wash off any salt deposits at regular intervals or as required, but no less than twice a
year.
Recommendation: Call in a specialist company to do the work for you.
This is a good way to protect the aluminium parts and their surface from being
corroded by salty water.
5.5.2 In non-saltwater areas
Clean the aluminium parts at least once a year, and even more often if heavily soiled. To clean,
use clean water and add a few drops of pH-neutral or very slightly alkaline detergent.
5.6 Cleaning PVC fabrics
If the PVC-coated fabric is dirty, this impairs the durability, favours the formation of mould and
leads to an increased absorption of dirt.
Therefore, clean the PVC-coated fabric on a regular basis and/or in case of excessive pollution.
Product damage due to improper cleaning of the PVC fabrics!
Adhere to the following measures during cleaning to prevent product damage.
Clean PVC-coated fabrics only with plain water and a neutral, liquid cleaning agent.
Avoid straining the fabric material unnecessarily during the cleaning process. Always
adapt the concentration of the cleaning agent, the water temperature, as well as the
pressure to be applied to the degree of pollution of the fabric and only use soft
cleaning cloths (alternatively: hand brushes/ rotating brushes with soft bristles)
Never use solvents such as turpentine, saltpeter solution, acetate, aromatic
compounds, hydrocarbons (benzine/ diesel) or corrosive products (acids/strong
bases), as these can damage the surface of the fabric, impair the protection against
outside impacts or destroy the fabric material.
At the end of the washing operations, rinse the PVC-coated fabric with abundant water
in order to remove every trace of cleaning agent. The last rinse has to be carried out
with a diluted 2% solution of sodium hypochlorite.
