Troubleshooting
Awning is difficult to crank
Ensure the awning is fully retracted and check for any obstructions. Verify that the mounting structure is stable and not causing torque on the unit.
Fabric seems loose or uneven
Fully retract the awning and then extend it again slowly. If the issue persists, check the fabric attachment points and ensure they are secure.
Rust spots appearing on metal components
Clean the affected areas gently with a soft cloth. Apply a clear coat of rust-inhibiting paint suitable for outdoor metal if necessary, focusing on exposed steel tubes.
