SunSetter 1000XT Homeowner’S Operation And Maintenance Manual

4 17
The awning fabric and the structure
are not designed to support the load
of water pooling on the fabric or
excessive windy conditions.
WARNING: YOU MUST PREVENT RAIN
WATER FROM ACCUMULATING OR
POOLING ON THE FABRIC! FAILURE
TO DO SO MAY RESULT IN THE
COLLAPSE OF THE STRUCTURE,
WHICH COULD CAUSE PERSONAL
INJURY!
Damage to the awning fabric, arms
and mechanism caused by water
pooling or windy conditions, is not
covered by the manufacturer product
warranty.
NOTE: Optional Rain-Away-Arches help
prevent water from accumulating on
the fabric. To purchase Rain-Away-
Arches call our sales department at
1-800-876-2340.
TO PREVENT RAIN WATER FROM
ACCUMULATING ON THE FABRIC,
you must lower or raise an arm on
one side of the awning to allow the
rain water to run off (creating enough
drop, front to back or left to right) –
see figures 9 and 10.
CAUTION: If lowering or raising one
arm is not enough and water still
accumulates on the fabric, you must
fully retract your awning against the
house.
WARNING: FAILURE TO TILT THE
AWNING ENOUGH FOR APPROPRIATE
DRAINAGE MAY RESULT IN THE
COLLAPSE OF THE STRUCTURE, WHICH
COULD CAUSE PERSONAL INJURY.
WHEN LEAVING THE AWNING
UNATTENDED:
To prevent water from accumulating and
pooling on the fabric, you must set the
awning with at least one arm angled
back to the wall bracket, and lower that
arm to create enough drop (front to
back) and allow rain water to run off.
WARNING: WHEN THE WEATHER
FORECAST IS UNCLEAR, AND COULD
POSSIBLY BE STORMY, THE AWNING
MUST BE RETRACTED COMPLETELY
AGAINST THE HOUSE WHEN
UNATTENDED.
