Wood maintenance

Please observe the following:

• The AURA frame is made of eucalyptus wood, which is a hardwood. Please take this into account when selecting an oil.

Preventative maintenance of the wooden frame (1–2 times annually, depending on the environment and level of contamination):

1. Remove the canopy from the frame to prevent contamination or oil stains on the fabric. If only the mast needs maintenance, the canopy does not need to be removed. However, ensure that the oil/sand paper does not come into contact with the canopy.
2. Clean the frame (mast and struts) with a fine, clean, damp cloth and then let dry.
3. Lightly sand the frame (mast and struts) with sandpaper for wood in 240 grit.
4. Remove any sanding dust from the surface.
5. Rub the frame (mast and struts) with a fine, clean, oiled cloth and then let it dry for at least one hour. Oil cut edges and cut surfaces especial-ly well.
6. Wipe the frame (mast and struts) with a fine, clean, dry cloth.
7. If necessary, reattach the canopy to the frame.

Treating damage (e.g. scratches, nicks, mouldy spots, etc.):

1. Remove the canopy from the frame to prevent contamination or oil stains on the fabric. If only the mast needs treatment, the canopy does not need to be removed. However, ensure that the oil/sand paper does not come into contact with the canopy.
2. First sand the damaged/affected area with sandpaper for wood in 80 grit.
3. Sand the entire affected part (mast and/or strut) with sandpaper for wood in 120 grit.
4. Remove any sanding dust from the surface.
5. Rub the entire affected part (mast and/or strut) with a fine, clean, oiled cloth and then let it dry for at least one hour. Oil cut edges and cut surfaces especially well.
6. Lightly sand the entire affected part (mast and/or strut) with sandpa-per for wood in 240 grit.
7. Rub the entire affected part (mast and/or strut) with a fine, clean, oiled cloth. Take care not to use too much oil. Allow it to dry for ap-prox. 15 minutes and then rub the area again with a cloth.
8. If necessary, reattach the canopy to the frame.
