MAINTENANCE

PREPARING YOUR AWNING FOR INCLEMENT WEATHER
Always retract and your awning closed whenever inclement weather is in the forecast to prevent damage from accumulated water, snow or from strong gusts of winds. For more detailed information regarding wind, please view our wind guide via www.advaning.com
GENERAL CARE
A. Keep the awning fully close when not in use and at night to help maintain fabric appearance and avoid any weather related damage.
B. Protect the awnings cassette with a soft cover during prolonged periods of non-use.
C. Lubricating your awning’s moving parts once a year to prevent noises. A dry silicone lubricant or lithium grease spray is recommend. Lubrication instructions are available via www.advaning.com
CLEANING CARE
To clean your awnings fabric, lower the pitch via the Easy Pitch™ loops and open the awning to see and access the top of the fabric and for proper drainage. Use a mild soap and water mix (1 part soap to 2 parts water) and standard garden hose to gently remove any accumulated dust, dirt, or debris. Raise the pitch to its regular setting and allow the awning to fully dry before retracting/closing. To dust the awning, a damp cloth, chamois, or soft bristle brush is recommended.
PROTECTING THE FABRIC FROM MILDEW
Should the awning’s fabric get wet, allow it to fully dry before retracting to prevent mildew and prolong the life of the fabric. If you must retract the awning while wet, open the awning as soon as the weather permits to allow the fabric to fully dry and remove any dirt deposits to preserve the fabric.
FRAME CARE
Perform annual maintenance on your awning such as cleaning the frame with a chamois cloth when necessary. It is important to inspect the fasteners, connections and the condition of the metal components.
MOTOR NOTICE
The electric motor is equipped with an automatic overheat protection shutoff system. If you run your awning several times continuously, the motor will stop its operation. It will resume normal operation after 30 minutes. Do not attempt to disassemble or modify the motor. Should your motor not operate correctly, please close your awning manually and contact Advaning Customer Service. Email: service@advaning.com
MOTOR CARE
To prevent water from entering the power outlet and damaging the motor, form a drip loop as shown in figure 37. The bottom of the loop is lower than the power outlet to prevent water from pooling near the electrical socket and power plug.
REMOTE CARE
Your remote uses a CR2430 battery, this battery may be replaced as needed. Always ensure that the battery is properly clipped in place + symbol facing out and cap secured with screw. In the case of remote malfunction you may need to re-synch your remote, please contact service@advaning.com for detailed step by step instructions.
