PergoTex
2.2 Description of construction and function
The PergoTex is a sun and rain protection unit with a fabric that opens to protect against the sun
and rain.
The PergoTex can be fitted to any angle of pitch ranging between 8° and 45° depending on the
projection and installation height of the awning.
When the awning is closed, the protective roof extensively protects the fabric against
weathering.
Only high-quality corrosion resistant materials are used in the PergoTex. The profiles are made
of extruded aluminium, while the support brackets and other cast parts are made of aluminium.
All connecting parts, such as screws, are made of stainless steel.

PergoTex
3 General safety notes
Product and property damage
Risk of damage to the product and property due to improper use of the PergoTex.
Please read and observe the general safety notes contained in this section.
3.1 Use
Your weinor PergoTex has been made with great care; however, your PergoTex 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 8). The leafs on the
glazing elements must be fully opened.
If the PergoTex is retracted when wet, it should be opened once it has stopped raining to
allow the fabric to dry.
The motor that is supplied as standard with the PergoTex has been designed to run for a
maximum of four minutes at a 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 PergoTex is fitted with a sun, wind or rain sensor, 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, the awning system must be switched from automatic to manual
control to prevent it from opening automatically. The system must not be used in frosty
conditions or if there is a risk of frost.
The PergoTex can be opened to any position up to its maximum length.

PergoTex
3.2 Use in winds
The PergoTex 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 PergoTex 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.
3.3 Explanation of wind resistance classes

PergoTex
3.4 Use in rain
For best results when using the PergoTex and for best rain drainage, the PergoTex should be
set at an angle of more than 8°.
3.5 Automatic controls
A PergoTex 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
PergoTex could be damaged.
Our recommendation: if you vacate the area, switch the PergoTex from automatic to manual
control and leave it retracted.
3.6 General notes on the fabric
It is perfectly normal for a small amount of condensation to form on the fabric. This does not form
grounds for complaint, non-acceptance or price reductions.

4 Specific safety notes
Personal injury
Risk of personal injury due to improper use of the PergoTex.
Please read and observe the specific safety notes contained in this section.
4.1 Checking and monitoring the PergoTex
For personal safety, it is important that these safety notes are complied with and kept in a safe
place.
The performance of a product depends on how it is assembled and installed.
Check the awning system for signs of wear or damage.
On motorised systems, check the electrical leads for damage.
Do not use units that are in need of repair.
Monitor the PergoTex when it opens and retracts and keep people clear of the area until the
PergoTex has fully opened and retracted.
The assembly work may only be performed by trained personnel.
Guidelines for systems with automatic controls
When performing maintenance or installation work on the covered area of the PergoTex,
disconnect the awning from the power supply.
4.2 Operation
It must be ensured that no children or people unable to properly assess the risks of improper or
incorrect use are able to operate the PergoTex.
Remote controls must be kept out of reach of children.
The setting and operating instructions supplied separately by the manufacturer of the motor,
switches and controls must also be observed.
4.3 Disassembly and Disposal
Always secure the awning system before dismantling and disposing of it. A suitably qualified
company should be engaged to perform this task.

5 Maintenance and care instructions
5.1 Cleaning and maintenance work in the opening space of the PergoTex
There is a risk of motorised sun protection units being activated unintentionally. Always ensure
that the PergoTex is completely switched off (e.g. by disconnecting the fuse) before performing
maintenance and cleaning work (e.g. building cleaners).
If awnings are operated by several users, a priority locking device must be activated (controlled
interruption of the power supply from outside), making it impossible to open or retract the awning
at all.
5.2 Maintenance
The safe and risk-free use of the Pergotex can only be guaranteed if the product is checked and
serviced on a regular basis. The following maintenance requirements must be observed.
Inspect the PergoTex at regular intervals for signs of wear and tear or damage to the awning
fabric and frame. Should you detect any damage, contact a specialist retailer or dealer or a
suitable service company to carry out the repairs. Do not use units that are in need of repair.
Inspect the PergoTex at regular intervals for signs of wear and tear or damage to the cables
and leads. Should you detect any damage, contact a specialist retailer or dealer or a suitable
service company to carry out the repairs.
Do not use units that are in need of repair.
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 gutter,
on the fabric, etc.
must be removed immediately.
Rainwater outlet holes
in the posts
must be kept unblocked at all times to ensure that water can drain off.

PergoTex
5.4 PergoTex care
Our recommendation:
Your PergoTex 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
We strongly recommend that you use a cleaning agent, preferably liquid, in water solution to
clean the PVS-coated fabrics.
The concentration of the solution, the temperature and the pressure that can be exerted on the
surface have to be adjusted to the degree of soiling.
If the coated fabric is stored in a dirty condition, this can impair its duration and can favour the
formation of moulds and the absorbing of the dirt inside the material.
The cleaning should be done with soft, moist cloths. As an alternative,
hand brushes or rotating brushes with soft bristles can be used.
It is absolutely forbidden to use solvents such as: turpentine, nitre solvents, acetate, aromatic
compounds, hydrocarbons (petrol or diesel), acids and caustic products, because such products
corrode the surface of the fabric impairing the protection from the external influences.

At the end of the washing operations, the PVC-coated product must be rinsed with abundant
water in order to remove every trace of detergent. The last rinse has to be carried out with a
diluted 2% solution of sodium hypochlorite.
before storing the product, it is necessary to dry the entire surface without to overheating the
material. After that it can be folded and kept in a dry environment, protected from the sunlight.
