Reading of the assembly and operating instructions:

The assembly and operating instructions must be read and observed 

before assembly. Failure to observe the information releases the ma

-

nufacturer from any liability. All the provided mounting brackets must 

be used and fixed with all the fixing points.

Intended use:

Awnings can be used exclusively for the purpose defined in the ope

-

rating instructions. Any alteration, such as modifications or additions, 

which are not intended by the manufacturer, can be made exclusively 

with the written permission of the manufacturer. 

Additional loading of the awning by means of hanging objects or 

anchoring wires may damage the awning or make it fall down and it is 

therefore not allowed�

Operating instructions:

An awning is a sun protection, no all-weather protection. It must be 

retracted in case of wind or storm, as well as of snow� Should the 

awning be equipped with an automatic control (e.g. wind and sun 

sensor), this must be turned off over the winter (danger of icing). 

Should the awning be exposed to rain, it must be adjusted with a 

minimum inclination of 15°. 

Transport:

The package of the awning must be protected from humidity� A soa-

ked package may loosen and lead to accidents� The awning must be 

transported on the correct side to the installation location, so that it 

does not have to be turned under tight space conditions. Should the 

awning have to be hoisted with the help of ropes, it must be removed 

from the package and tied with ropes so that it cannot slip and that it 

can be hoisted steadily in horizontal position. The same applies to the 

disassembly of the awning�

Uncontrolled operation:

When working in the area of awning the automatic control must be 

turned off. There is danger of crushing and falling. Furthermore, it 

must be ensured that the system cannot be accidentally manually 

operated� Hereto the power supply must be interrupted, e�g� the cir-

cuit breaker must be off. In the same way in case of manual operation 

the control crank must be hanged and kept safe� Should the awning 

be run by more users, a priority switching locking device must be in-

stalled (controlled power interruption from the outside), which makes 

impossible every opening and retracting of the awning.

Electrical work:

The electrical fixed installation must take place according to the 

legal and local regulations and must be carried out by an authorised 

electrician. Please follow the enclosed installation instructions of the 

electrical appliance�

Test run:

When opening the awning the first time nobody must be under the 

area of the awning. The fasteners and the mounting brackets must be 

visually checked after running the awning the first time.

Crushing und shearing zones:

There are crushing and shearing zones between the front profile and 

the cassette and coverings and in the zone of the articulated arms 

as well as between the facing profiles. Clothes and parts of the body 

may be caught and dragged by the system! 

Climbing aids:

Climbing aids cannot lean against the awning or be fixed to it. They 

must have a solid stand and provide sufficient support. Use exclusi

-

vely climbing aids which have an adequately high supporting capacity.

Fall protection equipment:

When working at great heights there is danger of falling� Adequate fall 

protection equipment must be used.

Attention:

Delivery without fixing material. The fixing material must be de

-

termined by the assembler according to the pre-existing mounting 

surface. In case of usage of fixing material optionally ordered with the 

awning, we assume no liability for a proper and professional instal-

lation. Only the assembler shall be liable for ensuring that the fixing 

material is suitable for the masonry and that the montage is profes-

sionally and adequately performed. The assembly instructions of the 

manufacturer of the wall plugs must be absolutely observed!

The articulated arms are under high spring tension! 

HIGH RISK OF INJURY BY MEANS OF THE COMPO-

NENTS OF THE AWNING UNDER TENSION!

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION:

Fixing screws and plugs must be determined according to the moun

-

ting surface. Please follow the indications of this fixing material. The 

wall and ceiling brackets must be firmly fastened to the mounting 

surface. In case of a mounting surface which is not pressure-resistant, 

possibly use base plates of aluminium�  

For different surfaces please find attached the wall plug extraction 

forces depending on the width and opening of the awning� In case 

that the extraction forces are higher than the maximum permissible 

force of the fixing material, more suitable fixing material must be 

used and / or the number of anchors per arm must be heightened 

(e.g. by mounting a larger plate) and /or the permissible wind pressu

-

re must be limited, by means of ensuring that the wind class achieved 

by means of the montage of the awning is under the wind class 

verified by the manufacturer.
