Storm Precautions
The warranty does not cover damage caused by acts of nature; therefore, steps should be taken to
prevent damage from occurring due to wind, rain or storms. Avoid leaving the awning extended during
rainy conditions. If leaving or retiring for the night, close the awning. This takes only a few seconds
and provides the best protection.
Patio Awning - Girard
The Girard Lateral Arm Awning extends and retracts with the push of a switch, pro-
viding protection from the sun.
Features:
• Remote control operation.
• Retractable arms use twin cables for increased fabric tension.
• All aluminum hardware is powder coated to give long-lasting protection for both
housing and mechanical parts.
• 100% acrylic fabric is weatherproof, permeable to air and resistant to mildew, rot-
ting and fading.
• Motorized operation including a manual crank override for emergency retract.
• The wind sensor automatically retracts the awning during windy conditions.
• The electric motor is housed in the roller tube where it is protected
from the elements and view.
Extending the Awning:
The awning operates from 120 Volts AC. Hook to shore power, start the generator or turn on the
inverter. The ignition must be off for the awning to operate. The awning requires 10' of lateral side
clearance.
• Momentarily push the upper switch. The awning will automatically extend full distance.
Awning travel can be stopped by pressing the center switch.
CAUTION:
It is strongly recommended to extend the awning full distance for maximum strength.
To prevent damage, retract the awning during gusting winds or inclement weather.
Rainwater can quickly collect (pool) on the canvas and overload awning hardware,
resulting in damage.
NOTE:
The awning motor is not designed for continuous use. In the event the motor is used to
excess, it will automatically shut off and remain inoperative until the circuit breaker
inside the motor cools down and automatically resets. Awning run time should not
exceed four to five minutes per hour. If the breaker trips, it will automatically reset in
30 minutes to one hour depending on ambient temperature.
