Extend the awning by actuating the pushbutton switch for
extension/retraction. With radio-controlled operation, your
markilux specialist must exactly explain the functions on the radio
remote control to you, since, depending on the equipment, he can
set these for you individually.
Observe here the separate operating instructions of the motor and,
if available, of the controller manufacturer. The final stop for awning
extension/retraction is limited. The end stop for the extension
direction will be set by your specialist dealer.

Multiple extension and retraction of the awning in rapid succession
results in an automatic motor switch-o to preserve it from
overheating. Aer cooling down the motor switches itself on again in
operating readiness.

3 Modification or retrofitting
The following modifications can be carried out retrospectively on your awning by your markilux specialist.
• Replacement of the awning cover
• Installation of a motor
• Retrofitting an automatic control system. In principle a motor drive must be available. Ask your specialist retailer about sun and wind
sensors, remote control, Vibrabox etc.

15.2 Cleaning the awning cover
The awning cover is equipped with special impregnation which reduces at every cleansing. For post-impregnation, commercial tent
impregnation can be used. By re-impregnation, no new condition of the cover can be achieved yet.
Remove dust periodically with a so brush in dry condition. Remove leaves, twigs and similar debris immediately. Remove small stains on the
awning cover with commercial, preferably liquid mild detergent added to water (water temperature approx. 30°C, soap solution 5 %). Rinse
thoroughly with water until all traces of the detergent have been removed.
15.3 Cleaning the awning frame
For cleansing of the awning frame, use commercial detergent for sensitive surfaces (pH-value between 5 and 8). Aggressive acids and scraping
materials (like grinding fleece, emery, sand, pumice, etc.) are not allowed because they could alter the surface totally.
15.4 Characteristics resulting from the production and manufacture of awning fabrics
Awning covers are industrially manufactured textile products which serve both a functional and a decorative role. Although only first-class,
quality controlled fabric is used in production, there are limits to the degree of perfection that can be achieved. Awning owners occasionally
complain about certain imperfections in the fabric due to lack of knowledge. Defects actually to complain are only those which influence the
cover life span. The following specified imperfections influence the awning cover durability and usage practicality in no way.
• Dogleg and wrinkle creases
At processing, like e.g. trimming, sewing and
winding up of the cover onto the awning
frame, dogleg traces can result which can not
be avoided. Viewed against the light, the user
of the awning has the impression that he
sees dark stripes.
• Chalk and write eect
As with the previously mentioned processes,
the cover may show a light change in colour
(pigment shiing) at folded spots caused by
kinking the fibre.
• Winding folds / waviness
Winding folds/rippling: This occurs due to the
permanent coiling and uncoiling of the cover
on the
roller. This eect can be explained by the fact,
that
the material is thicker close to the seams,
coils more
loosely between the seams of the cover. This
eect
can occur both directly next to the seam as
well as
also in the middle of web.
• Other irregularities
Irregularities caused by the production
process which cannot be avoided, such as
• Knots, thread thickening and thinning,
which can be seen in the cloth as points
of light or as nubs
• Colour deviations in cloths produced in
webs (e.g. in triangular shades)
• Individual thread breakages and
expansions at the seams with resulting
sagging
• Sagging of the cloth due to its own
weight or aer the formation of a "water
sack".
can occur, and are unavoidable in
production.
15.5 Flexing of the awning frame
The profile of the wider systems' awning frame can flex as well because of own weight. This occurrence does not influence the awning
function and running qualities.
16. Tested awning cover
The certificate "STANDARD 100 by OEKO-TEX®" guarantees that no harmful dyes or chemicals were used in the making of markilux sunsilk snc
and sunvas snc awning covers.
UPF = Ultraviolet Protection Factor
Fabrics made of sunsilk snc and sunvas snc achieve the highest possible solar protection factor for textiles (UPF 50+).
An awning fabrics with an ultraviolet protection factor of 50+ enables you to sit out safely in the sun fiy times
longer than you would otherwise be able to do without suering sunburn, if you were to rely solely on the
protection provided by your skin. Max. duration of sunbathing under your awning = own protection time x 50
Test mark "Selfcleaning inspired by nature"
Awning fabrics made from sunvas snc and sunsilk snc oer a self-cleaning eect in rain (a
minimum of 14° awning pitch is required to ensure water run-o).
