MAINTENANCE

PREPARING YOUR AWNING FOR INCLEMENT WEATHER

Always retract and keep your awning fully closed whenever inclement weather is in the forecast to prevent

damage from accumulated water, snow or from strong gusts of wind.

GENERAL CARE

A. Keep the awning fully close when not in use and at night to help maintain fabric appearance and avoid

any weather related damage.

B. Protect the awnings cassette with a soft cover during prolonged periods of non-use.

C. Lubricating your awning’s moving parts once a year to prevent noises. A dry silicone lubricant or lithium

grease spray is recommend. Lubrication instructions are available via www.advaning.com

CLEANING CARE

To clean your Advaning awning, lower pitch via the Easy Pitch™ loops and open awning completely to see and

access the top of the awning and allow proper water drainage. Use a mild soap and water mix (1 part soap

to 2 parts water) and standard garden hose to gently remove any accumulated dust, dirt, or debris. Raise the

pitch to its regular setting and allow the awning to fully dry before retracting/closing. To dust the awning, a

damp cloth, chamois, or soft bristle brush is recommended.

PROTECTING THE FABRIC FROM MILDEW

Should the awning’s fabric get wet, allow it to fully dry before retracting to prevent mildew 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.

FRAME CARE

Perform annual maintenance on your awning such as cleaning the frame with a chamois cloth when necessary.

It is important to inspect the fasteners, connections and the condition of the metal components.

MOTOR NOTICE

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, please close

your awning manually and contact Advaning Customer Service. Email: service@advaning.com

MOTOR CARE

To prevent water from entering the power outlet and damaging the motor, form a drip loop as shown in gure

37. The bottom of the loop is lower than the power outlet to prevent water from pooling near the electrical

socket and power plug.
