9. Motor in the event of a power-cut
6. Use in case of snow, ice, thunderstorm, storm and absence, also with automatic control
8. Obstacles
The awning must not be extended at snowfall or risk of frost. There is risk of the awning to be
damaged or crash down. When a storm or bad weather front is approaching, severe gusts of
wind can occur suddenly to which even an automatic control mechanism cannot react with
suicient speed. An automatic control enhances the awning comfort, but does not excuse
from the duty of care! During absence for longer periods, e.g. holidays or during the night, an
automatic control system does not guarantee an enduringly faultless operation of your
awning.
Attention! It is recommended to retract the awning before freezing wetness starts, at
approaching storm respectively bad weather fronts or at absences. A possibly existing
automatic function is to switch o!
Foliage and other foreign objects located on the awning cover, inside the awning box and in the guidance bars are to remove immediately.
There is risk of the awning to be damaged or crash down. Snow accumulation behind the awning must be avoided by installing a snow guard
(snow fence or similar) or by regularly removing the snow load.
In the awning extension area, no obstacles may be located. There is danger for persons to be
squashed in there. In order to avoid this, a safety distance of at least 50 cm has to be
observed.
A motor-driven awning cannot be retracted without electricity. In very windy areas with frequent power cuts the use of an emergency power
supply should be considered. Otherwise always retract the awning if the power is scheduled to be cut!
Attention! When working in operation radius (e.g. cleaning or service works), make sure the awning to be currentless (e.g. power switch
o, remove plug coupling at drive cable, ...) There is risk of squeezing and falling down.
10. Uncontrolled operation during cleaning and maintenance jobs
There is a risk of crushing body parts and falling. For works on manually operated units the crank should be removed and stored safely. If
awnings are operated by various persons, a locking device switching of prime importance (controlled circuit breakers from outside) must be
actuated, so that every awning retraction and extension is made impossible. Persons not familiar with proper awning use must not operate
them.
