8. Uncontrolled operation
When working in the range of travel of the awning (see gure:
example folding-arm awning) the automatic control has to be
deactivated. There is a risk of crushing body parts and falling.
Additionally, the installer must ensure that the unit cannot be
unintentionally operated during works. The power supply should be
disconnected i.e. by removing or turning off safety fuses and/or
removing the power cables and motor socket gear. For works on
manually operated units the crank should be removed and stored
safely.
If awnings are operated by more than one person, an override locking
device (controlled circuit breakers from outside) must be installed so
that any retraction or extension of the awning is not possible.
9. Proper intended use
10. Crush and shear zones
The servo gear unit of folding-arm awnings (marking by label)
must not be dismantled. It is under great tension!
If the awning cloth or the gear have to be changed, kindly enquire
before about the instructions „What is to be done, if the servo gear
unit has to be dismantled?.

6. Partly assembled awnings
In case of awnings that come partly-assembled from the factory
– e.g. coupled folding-arm awnings without cover - the spring-
loaded parts (see gure: Example folding-arm awning) are secured
against unintentional opening. These securing means must be remo-
ved only after the complete assembly.
The labelled awning parts are under spring tension and can pose an
high injury risk.
Awnings may only be used according to the purpose dened in the operation manual. Alterations like rebuilding or enlargements which are not
intended by the manufacturer may only be carried out with the manufacturers written approval.
Additional awning burdens by means of object attachments or or rope wearing can result in damage or dropping of the awning and are
therefore not allowed.
The awning must not be subjected to high temperatures, heavy vibrations, jarring or heavy mechanical stress.
A build up of snow behind the awning can be avoided by installation of snow stoppers (snow collecting grid or the like).
min. 50 cm
Depending on the type of awning there are crush and shear zones, e.g. between front prole and cassette and between moving parts.
Items of clothing or limbs can be grabbed by the unit and pulled in. (see gure: example folding-arm awning.)
If the awning is installed at a height less than 2.5 metres above accessible trafc ways, then the awning may only be operated by a pushbutton
switch which enables the moving parts to be viewed. Electric controls, radio-controlled motors with click in-switches are not permitted for such
installations.
