Product Manual for the Double Sided Awning
Manual Gear Operation
Version: 2011-01
Very Important:
1. Do not leave the awning extended during extreme weather conditions such
as wind, rain, snow and ice. The extreme weather conditions may cause
the arms to break and can cause damage personal or injury to the property.
Awntech does not take any responsibility for any weather related or
improper handling damages.
2. Secure the vertical support bars to the ground or place weight bags on the
legs.
3. Do not try to adjust or repair the lateral arms. Please observe the
CAUTION: HIGH TENSION PROJECTION ARMS CABELS when replacing
the lateral arms of your awning. These arms are loaded with high tension
springs and can cause severe personal injury and property damage if
extreme caution is not used.
4. Awntech® Corporation does not guarantee its retractable awnings against
damage that is weather related (such as strong winds, rain, snow and ice)
under any circumstances. These awnings are designed to protect the
customer from the sun and UV rays. They are not designed to hold snow
loads, ice loads, water pooling loads or loads from debris such as leaves
and falling branches. Also, if your awning is not anchored securely, it will
lift. Retractable awnings make excellent kites. If your awning starts to lift,
we are not responsible and will not send free replacement parts. Securely
anchoring is your responsibility. We do not provide anchors because there
are many wall types.
5. RETURN QUALIFICATION: You can only return a product if it is defective
upon arrival. If you simply do not like it for any other reason, you will be
given merchandise credit only.
6. DAMAGED MATERIAL: Damage occasionally occurs during shipping.
Scrapes, dents, and rips in the outer packaging that could indicate possible
damage should be described to the carrier at the time of delivery. If
damage to the product seems apparent, the shipment should be refused.
7.
FABRIC DYE-LOT AND LIGHTING VARIATION: Fabric dyes may vary
slightly from run to run. This is a normal and unavoidable. Different
lighting types and lighting direction may cause the fabric you chose on the
website to appear slightly different than the actual fabric does in full
sunlight.
