Maintenance Features
Proper maintenance is crucial for the longevity and optimal performance of the STORBOX 250. The manual provides guidelines for installation and general care:
- Installation Recommendations:
- Installation should be done by trained personnel.
- Use appropriate tools for installation, including levels, wrenches, drills, and measuring tapes.
- Ensure proper alignment of the support plates and the cassette during installation.
- The distance between the exterior part of the wall plates, when using aluminum side caps, should be L-105mm, where L is the total width.
- Adjust the inclination of the cassette and the arms carefully to ensure proper operation and water drainage. If the inclination exceeds 50°, proceed first to place the lateral fixing screw of the side cover before tightening.
- The terminal screw must always be pointing outwards.
- General Care:
- Regular cleaning and maintenance are recommended.
- The installation should be checked periodically by an authorized professional installer.
- In case of ice, if operation is particularly difficult and in the absence of safety measures, stop the operation until more favorable conditions prevail.
- During opening and closing, make sure there is no obstacle which could get in the way. NEVER FORCE THE AWNING! If the awning does not move at all when you try to operate it, call a professional installer.
- In the case of motorized awnings, it should be borne in mind that the motor features a thermal safety device to avoid overheating and breakdowns. This device is activated when the operating switches are pressed insistently.
- Do not submit the installation to additional loads or stresses not covered by the manufacturer's configuration. Do not interfere with the system's fixing components.
- Examine the installation if it has been subjected to adverse weather conditions, and if any repairs are needed do not use it. In such cases, a professional installer should be called.
- Keep the installation clean and in good condition. A yearly maintenance check by an authorized professional installer is recommended.
- Important Safety Instructions: The system has powerful springs inside. In the event of poor installation, these may cause the awning to open sharply. 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.
- Basic Precautions for Safe Handling of the Awning:
- The awning must be rolled away in case of strong winds (+38 Km/h).
- In case of snow or ice, avoid using the awning.
- In case of rain, it is advisable to roll away the awning to prevent damage.
- During opening or closing, verify that there is no obstacle that could get in the way. NEVER FORCE THE AWNING! If you notice any anomaly during the opening or closing maneuvers, or if the awning does not move at all, do not attempt to force it and call a professional installer.
- In the case of a motorized awning, it should be borne in mind that the motor incorporates a thermal safety device to avoid overheating and breakdowns. This device is activated when the operating switches are pressed insistently.
- Do not subject the installation to additional loads or stresses not covered by the manufacturer's configuration. Do not interfere with the system's fixing elements.
- Examine the installation if it has been subjected to adverse weather conditions, and if any repairs are needed, do not use it. In such cases, a professional installer should be called.
- Keep the installation clean and in good condition. A yearly maintenance check by an authorized professional installer is recommended.
