Assembly and installation should be done by trained personnel.
IMPORTANT SAFETY CONSIDERATIONS: For proper installation of the awning, the instructions for assem-
bly and installation must be carefully followed step by step. Keep plastic bags or any assembly pieces out
of the reach of children.
Do not alter the design or the configuration of the system, nor change the installation method without
consulting the manufacturer or an authorised representative.
If the awning is motorised and there is a switch, the switch should be placed so that the user does not in-
terfere with the movement of the awning, and at a height of less than 1.3 metres when possible.
If the awning is manually operated, it should be accessible at a height of 1.8 metres.
If the awning is to be installed in windy areas where there are frequent blackouts, manual operation or
the use of a back-up generator is recommended.
BASIC PRECAUTIONS FOR SAFE HANDLING OF THE AWNING:
The awning must be retracted in inclement weather conditions such as:
In the event of ice, if operation is particularly difficult, and in the absence of safety measures, refrain
from using the system until more favourable conditions prevail.
Before opening or closing, clear away all obstacles which might get in the way. NEVER FORCE THE AWN-
ING! If the awning does not move at all when you try to operate it, call a professional installer.
With motorised awnings, remember that the motor features a thermal safety device to avoid overheating
and malfunctions. This device is activated when the operating switches are pressed insistently.
Do not subject the system to additional loads or stresses that it is not intended to bear as per the man-
ufacturer's instructions.
Do not interfere with the system's mounting components.
Examine the installation if it has been subjected to adverse weather conditions, and do not use the
system until any necessary repairs are completed. In such cases, a professional installer should be called.
Keep the installation clean and in good condition. A yearly maintenance check by an authorised profes-
sional installer is recommended.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS. The system has powerful springs inside it. In the event of in-
correct installation, these may cause the awning to open suddenly and forcefully. If any irregularities
are observed during opening and/or closing, call a professional installer. To avoid possible damage,
do not allow children to play with the awning.
