MAINTENANCE
The INTREPID awning system is made of the best materials,
resistant to wear and capable of maintaining its technical
features unchanged in any weather conditions, provided the
conditions given under "scheduled maintenance" are complied
with.
During the winter period, the sail should be protected with an
awning cover or stored in a dry place.
WASHING SAILS
This operation should be carried out towards the end of the
day.
- Open the sails.
- Wet the top of the sails using a hose.
- Dilute about half a litre of washing machine liquid detergent
in 10 litres of water.
- Spread the diluted detergent over the top of the sails.
- Close the sails and leave the canvas to soak overnight.
- Open the sails again and rinse with plenty of running water.

TREATING WOODEN PARTS
Clean the deck periodically using a cloth slightly dampened
with water and a neutral detergent suitable for floors, just as
you would clean a hard floor indoors.
To eliminate stubborn dirt and/or salt, brush gently with a soft
bristle brush (made of plastic or sorghum).
The deck must be cleaned more frequently if it is exposed to
salinity.
WARNING: do not use metal bristle brushes or metal scouring
pads, which may scratch or mark the surface of the slats and the
aluminium profiles.
WARNING: using alcohol, solvents, acids, ammonia or other
chemical cleaning products may irreparably damage the deck.
Only pure, non-pigmented teak oil should be used to treat the
deck.
Apply the oil to a clean (see instructions above) and dry deck
(preferably in summer so the air is less humid).
