Troubleshooting
Awning does not retract smoothly
Ensure the fabric is not caught on any obstructions. Check that the posts are securely fixed and the awning is extending/retracting parallel to the ground. Avoid using in frosty conditions.
Awning feels unstable
Verify that both the wall and ground mounting points are secure and have been properly fastened using the included accessories. Re-tighten all fixings if necessary.
Fabric appears wet after rain
The fabric is water-resistant, not waterproof. Light rain should bead off, but prolonged exposure or heavy downpours may lead to some dampness. Ensure the awning is fully retracted and allowed to dry completely in a well-ventilated area to prevent mildew.
Awning is difficult to extend
Check for any binding in the roller mechanism. Ensure the handle is securely attached to the awning edge. Confirm that the retraction spring is not damaged and that the unit has not been exposed to freezing temperatures.
