A Cassette/Pelmet is recommended with motorised awnings to protect the motor from the elements.
If no cassette has been ordered the awning will need to be installed where the motor can be protected
from the elements. Motor warranty does not cover water damage.
Caution: Like all outdoor blinds, it is prudent to retract the blind in the presence of strong winds.
