Troubleshooting

Awning is difficult to extend or retract.

Check for any obstructions in the mechanism or fabric. Ensure the hand crank is properly engaged. Lubricate the moving parts if they appear stiff, following manual instructions.

Fabric seems loose or uneven.

Ensure the awning is fully extended and the tension is correct. Check that all mounting points are secure. If the issue persists, consult the assembly manual for fabric tensioning adjustments.

Water pooling on the fabric.

Adjust the angle of the awning to create a slope for water runoff. Ensure the fabric is properly tensioned. Retract the awning during heavy rain.
