Care & Maintenance - Girard
Girard Acrylic Awning Cleaning:
Acrylic awning fabric should be cleaned regularly before dirt, leaves and debris are allowed to
accumulate, and become embedded in the fabric. Carefully brush off loose debris and hose down the
awning. Clean the fabric using a cloth and mild soap such as FeronCLEAN
®
. A high-quality acrylic
fabric cleaner may also be used to help maintain the appearance. Carefully follow the instructions
as listed. Do not use detergents. Metal surfaces should be cleaned with soapy water and thoroughly
rinsed. Allow the awning to thoroughly air dry while extended.
Care Facts & Tips:
• The awning is at the strongest setting when fully extended. Avoid leaving the awning
extended in inclement weather. Retract the awning during conditions. Water weighs 8.33
lbs. per gallon and can quickly collect on the canvas. Excess water collection can over-
stress and damage awning hardware.
• Remove leaves, pine needles or other debris by tapping the canvas from underneath using
a broom handle or other instrument that will not harm the fabric.
• If the Wind Sensor retracts the awning, it is recommend the awning remain retracted until
winds subside.
• The ignition key must be in the OFF position for the awning to operate.
• The motor draws approximately 300 watts (about three amps) of power while in use.
• Allow the awning fabric to thoroughly dry before retracting the awning. Should the awning
need to be retracted while the fabric is wet, extended it as soon as possible to allow it to
completely dry.
