Troubleshooting
Awning does not extend smoothly
Check for any obstructions or twists in the fabric. Ensure the mounting brackets are aligned correctly.
Awning does not retract automatically
Verify that the spring mechanism is not jammed. Inspect the roller for debris. Ensure the fabric is not caught on anything.
Fabric appears saggy or uneven
Ensure the awning is mounted level and the fabric is extended evenly. If there is a permanent sag, check the tension of the spring mechanism.
Unit feels unstable in the wind
Check all mounting screws and ensure they are tightened securely into a solid base. Do not extend the awning fully in high winds.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Setup: Ensure you have a solid surface for mounting the posts and the retractable unit. The delivery includes all necessary mounting accessories. It is recommended to have two people for the installation process, especially when extending the awning to its full width and securing it. Follow the included instructions carefully for proper alignment and fastening.
Compatibility: This awning is designed for outdoor use on patios, balconies, gardens, and terraces. It requires two mounting points (one for the retractable unit, one for the post) that are sturdy enough to anchor it securely. It is compatible with solid walls or fences for attachment.
Care: Clean the fabric with a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary. Avoid abrasive cleaners. Ensure the awning is fully retracted during strong winds, storms, or heavy rain to prevent damage. Periodically check the mounting hardware for tightness. The steel frame should be kept dry and may benefit from occasional rust protection if exposed to harsh conditions.
