2.1.9 Checking and monitoring the awning
For personal safety, it is important that these safety notes are complied with and kept in a safe
place.
• The performance of a product depends on how it is assembled and installed.
• Check the awning system for signs of wear or damage.
• On motorised systems, check the electrical leads for damage.
• Do not use units that are in need of repair.
• Monitor the awning when it opens and retracts and keep people clear of the area until the
awning has fully opened or retracted.
• The assembly work may only be performed by trained personnel.
Guidelines for systems with automatic controls
• When performing maintenance or assembly work on the covered area of the awning,
disconnect the awning from the power supply.
Awning systems are designed to open in order to protect exposed areas from undesired sun.
Failure to use the product as intended may result in severe danger.
Alterations not envisaged by weinor, such as attaching items or conversions, may only be
carried out with the manufacturer's written consent.
Additional loads on the awning caused by hanging objects from it or by anchoring ropes may
result in damage or cause the awning to fall and are therefore not permissible.
Only use original spare parts on the awning. Only use the awning as a sun protection device.
Never affix/hang heavy objects to/from the awning. Never open the awning or allow it to be
opened in winds stronger than wind category 2.
