Allow the awning fabric to fully dry before retracting. Doing so will help prevent
mildew from growing and prolong the life of the fabric.
If you must retract the awning while wet, open the awning as soon as the weather
permits to allow the fabric to fully dry and remove any dirt deposits to preserve
the fabric.
Cleaning the awning regularly with mild soap and water will extend the life of the
fabric and prevent the formation of mildew. It is necessary to prevent stains from
becoming embedded into the fabric.
Remove the dust from the dry awning fabric by gently beating or brushing the
fabric.
Your awning contains powder-coating steel or aluminum and can last for many
years. It is important to inspect the fasteners, connections and the condition of
the metal components.
The electric motor is equipped with an automatic overheat protection shutoff
system. If you run your awning several times continuously, the motor will stop its
operation. It will resume normal operation after 30 minutes.
Do not attempt to disassemble or modify the motor. Should your motor not
operate correctly it is advised that you contact Advaning customer service for
support.
To prevent water from entering the power outlet, it is recommended that a drip
loop be formed as shown in gure 35. Notice that the bottom of the loop is
lower than the power outlet to prevent water from pooling near the electrical
socket and power plug.
The retractable awning is designed to provide protection from the sun and is not
intended for rain, snow or extreme wind. Retract the awning to prevent damage
from accumulated water, snow or from strong gusts of wind.
The fabric is water repellent and is not intended to protect against the water
elements.
