The Sunjoy S-AW054PST-C 14'X 10' Marquise Half-Cassette Motorized Retractable Awning is designed to provide shade for outdoor spaces, offering both convenience and protection from the sun. This awning is a motorized unit, allowing for easy extension and retraction, but it also includes a manual crank handle for operation in case of power issues or preference.

Function Description:

The primary function of this retractable awning is to provide shade. It is designed for outdoor use and is intended to create a comfortable shaded area on a wall or ceiling. The motorized mechanism allows users to effortlessly open and close the awning using a remote control. In situations where the remote control is unavailable or preferred, a manual crank handle can be engaged to operate the awning. The awning's design incorporates a half-cassette system, which means that when retracted, the fabric and some components are partially enclosed, offering a degree of protection from the elements and contributing to a cleaner aesthetic. The awning's angle can also be adjusted, providing flexibility to optimize shade coverage as needed.

Usage Features:

Motorized Operation: The awning features a motorized system that can be controlled via a remote control (D). The remote has distinct buttons for "Close," "Stop," "Open," and an "LED" function, making it intuitive to operate. This allows for quick and convenient adjustment of the awning without physical effort.
Manual Override: For added versatility, the awning can also be operated manually using a crank handle (C). This is particularly useful if the remote control is misplaced, batteries run out, or in the event of a power outage. To operate manually, the crank handle is inserted into the gearbox loop, and turning it clockwise extends the awning.
Adjustable Angle: The awning's angle can be adjusted to fine-tune the shade coverage. This feature allows users to adapt the awning's position to different sun angles throughout the day, maximizing its effectiveness. When adjusting the angle, it is important to support the awning arm by hand and follow the specific instructions regarding screw adjustments (screwing A before B).
Wall/Ceiling Installation: The awning is designed for installation on either a wall or a ceiling. The installation process involves securing wall brackets (B) using anchor bolts (EE) or hex sharp bolts (FF) and ensuring they are level. Professional assistance is recommended for installation on walls other than wood or concrete to ensure proper and secure mounting.
Safety Precautions: The manual emphasizes several safety precautions, including keeping children and pets away from the assembly area, wearing protective gloves due to potentially sharp edges, and ensuring two people are involved in the assembly for safety. It also warns against using the awning in strong winds (over scale 5 or 29-38km/h), heavy rain, or snow, and advises closing it in bad weather to prevent damage.
Motor Protection: The motor has a built-in protection mechanism. If it operates continuously for more than three minutes, it will temporarily stop working to prevent overheating. It will resume operation after a cooling period of 10-15 minutes, with a total cooling time of 4-5 hours if fully engaged. This feature helps prolong the life of the motor.
Fabric Durability: The awning fabric meets CPAI-84 specifications for flame resistance, indicating a degree of protection against fire, though it is not fireproof and should be kept away from open flames. The manual also notes that the cover should remain tight when the awning is fully open to ensure proper function and appearance.

Maintenance Features:

Rust Prevention: The steel components of the awning are treated with rust-inhibiting paint. To maintain this protection, it is recommended to handle the product carefully during assembly and use to avoid scratching the paint. Any scratches or damage should be immediately touched up with rust-inhibiting paint.
Rust Removal: Surface rust, which can occur despite protective coatings, can be easily removed with a light application of common cooking oil. Addressing surface rust promptly is important to prevent it from dripping onto decks or patios and causing stains.
Regular Checks: Users are advised to check all bolts for tightness before and during usage to ensure the awning remains secure and stable.
Weather-Related Care: To prevent damage, the awning should be closed in bad weather conditions, including medium to high winds, heavy rain, or snow. It should also not be used in cold weather, as this can affect its performance and potentially cause damage.
Warranty Information: The product comes with a limited manufacturer's warranty of one year, covering defects in materials and workmanship for personal, residential use. The warranty does not cover damage due to extreme weather conditions, commercial use, acts of nature, vandalism, misuse, improper assembly, or corrosion/rusting of hardware. Proof of purchase is required for warranty claims.
