What is the maximum reach of the awning when extended?
The maximum projection of the awning is 120 cm.
Can the fabric canopy be removed for cleaning?
Yes, the polyester canopy is designed to be removed and washed, making cleaning and maintenance easier.
What is the required installation height for this awning?
The awning offers a flexible installation height between 200 cm and 300 cm.
Does the awning come with a motor for automatic operation?
No, this is a manually operated awning and requires the use of the included crank handle for extension and retraction.
Troubleshooting
Awning is difficult to retract or extend.
Check for obstructions along the path of the awning. Ensure the crank handle is properly engaged. Verify that the frame and fabric are not twisted or caught.
Awning does not stay in the extended position.
Ensure the locking mechanism, if applicable, is fully engaged. Check that the crank mechanism is functioning correctly and holding tension.
Fabric appears stretched or uneven.
Allow the fabric to relax. If the issue persists after a few uses, check the tensioning system and ensure it's properly adjusted according to the manual.
Water pooling on the canopy.
Ensure the awning has a slight slope when extended to allow water runoff. If pooling occurs, retract the awning after rain to prevent excess weight and potential damage.
