7. Leaves, snow and foreign bodies
9. Motor in case of power cut
6. Use in case of snow, ice, thunderstorm, storm and absence, also with automatic control
8. Obstacles
The awning must not be extended at snowfall or risk of frost. There is risk of the awning to
be damaged or crash down. At approaching storm or bad weather fronts, severe gusts can
occur suddenly to which even a control can not react immediately. An automatic control
enhances the awning comfort, but does not excuse from the duty of care! During absence
for longer periods, e.g. holidays or during the night, an automatic control system does not
guarantee an enduringly faultless operation of your awning.
Attention! It is recommended to retract the awning before freezing wetness starts,
at approaching storm respectively bad weather fronts or at absences. A possibly existing
automatic function is to switch o!
Foliage and other foreign objects located on the awning cover, inside the awning box and in the guidance bars are to remove
immediately. There is risk of the awning to be damaged or crash down. A build up of snow behind the awning can be avoided by
installation of snow stoppers (snow collecting grid or the like) or regular removal of the accumulated snow.
In the awning extension area, no obstacles may be located. There is danger for persons to
be squashed in there. In order to avoid this, a safety distance of at least 50 cm has to be
observed.
A motor-driven awning cannot be retracted without electricity. In very windy areas with frequent power cuts the use of an emergency
power supply should be considered. Otherwise always retract the awning if the power is scheduled to be cut!
Attention! When working in operation radius (e.g. cleaning or service works), make sure the awning to be currentless (e.g. power
switch o, remove plug coupling at drive cable, ...) There is risk of squeezing and falling down.
10. Uncontrolled operation during cleaning and maintenance jobs
There is a risk of crushing body parts and falling. For works on manually operated units the crank should be removed and stored safely. If
awnings are operated by various persons, a locking device switching of prime importance (controlled circuit breakers from outside) must
be actuated, so that every awning retraction and extension is made impossible. Persons not familiar with proper awning use must not
operate them.
