Troubleshooting
Awning does not retract smoothly
Ensure the fabric is not snagged or twisted. Check that the mounting posts are perfectly vertical and secure. Wipe down the retractable mechanism with a dry cloth.
Awning is wobbly or unstable
Verify that both wall and ground mounting points are securely fastened. Use all provided mounting accessories and ensure they are appropriate for your wall and ground type. Tighten all screws and bolts.
