Troubleshooting

Awning does not retract smoothly.

Check if the fabric is tangled or obstructed. Ensure the handle is disengaged correctly from the post. Verify that the support posts are perfectly vertical.

Ensure the awning is correctly tensioned during installation. Check that the mounting points are secure and not allowing movement.

Fabric shows signs of wear after initial use.

Inspect for any sharp objects or rough surfaces that may have come into contact with the fabric. Ensure the awning is not subjected to excessive force.
