Assembly instructions awning CA430

F. Troubleshooting

Your Harol awnings are 100% checked before they leave the factory. It is therefore highly unlikely that 
faults could be present whereby e.g. the motor does not work after assembly. Before contacting the 
technical department it is advisable to first thoroughly check a number of points. These points below 
will probably already provide the solution:

F.1. The motor does not stop on time or it stops too early:

Adjust the settings of the motor properly according to the method described.
Make sure the motor stops itself after only about 5 seconds after reaching the housing.
One can hear this by the throbbing noise of the motor that can still be heard for a short while in the 
housing.

F.2. The motor does not run in or out:

- Is there 230 V at the switch? Check this with a voltmeter or a test lamp.
-  Check whether the motor has not thermally fused. In this case it is sufficient to wait 15 minutes until 

the motor cools off.

- Check in the two directions whether the motor is in its extreme position.
- Check that the cable is not broken between the motor and the switch.
- Directly test the motor using a regulating cable.

Note:

 Should the motor be defective, one must clearly indicate whether the motor is provided for left-

hand or right-hand assembly. The motors cannot change places.

F.3. The end profile is deeper against the cover on one side than the other:

When the attachment points of the arms on the end profile are not at the correct mutual distances, 
one of the two arms will close a little earlier than the other. Turn the awning almost completely shut, 
but ensure there is just enough space to loosen the socket screws in the clamping plate on the inside 
of the end profile.

Then turn the screen a little further in and slide the arms I such a way that the middle hinge point of 
the arms are in line. Move the end profile and bring it to the middle in relation to the two side plates.
Retighten the four socket screws of the clamming plate.

F.4. The arms are not parallel in the housing:

This is usually the consequence of the non-vertical position of the wall brackets. By turning the posi-
tion of the console, bring the arm back to its right height. The brackets are alongside the supports of 
the arm and offer insufficiently wide support. Relocate the wall brackets or shift the housing in the 
wall brackets if necessary.

Harol reserves the right to make changes at any time to the construction without having to inform the 
client beforehand, and therefore without having to adapt existing installations.

Be careful because the arms are permanently loaded and could slip away in the slot.
