Troubleshooting

Awning is difficult to extend or retract.

Check for any obstructions in the fabric path. Ensure the telescopic poles are fully extended and locked. The crank mechanism might need gentle, consistent pressure.

Telescopic poles feel unstable.

Ensure the awning is placed on a completely level and firm surface. Adjust the feet to maximize contact with the ground. Do not extend the poles beyond the maximum height limit (3 meters).

Fabric is sagging.

Ensure the angle is set appropriately and the tension is even. Check that the crank is fully engaged when extending the awning.

Rust spots appear on the frame.

This is unlikely due to the powder coating. If minor spots occur, clean gently with a damp cloth. Ensure the awning is dry after rain exposure.
