manually operated or powered by a motor. Other accessories can be added on request with an upgraded motor.

COMPONENTS

The awning is made up of a metal structure and a piece of fabric.
• Metal structure: consists of a frame containing the working mechanisms for opening and closing the awning. It in-
cludes a square bar (A - Fig. 1), a front bar (B - Fig. 1) and folding arms (C - Fig. 1) fitted with sheathed cables.
• Fabric (D - Fig. 1) attaches to the frame and provides shade.

The construction materials have been chosen to optimize resistance to wear deriving both from use and the
weather. All fabric is subject to variations in surface uniformity. If you notice some color variation in the fabric,
please be assured that it is normal. Wrinkling or dimpling are natural occurrences with retractable awnings. The
hems and seams create double layers which make the fabric thicker and tighter at the seams. This can cause dim-
pling anywhere in the fabric. This dimpling will not affect the quality of your fabric or awning. If you notice some
light lines or a marbling effect, this is called "crazing" and it will not affect the quality of the fabric. It is also pos-
sible for the awning fabric to sag as a result of its own weight. Stretching sometimes occurs with awning fabric.
If you notice that your awning is sagging, retract the awning slightly to restore tension.
Conditions of Use
This awning has been designed to offer protection from the sun and adjust the reflection of light in the area be-
neath it; the product may only be used to move the incorporated fabric in and out in order to reach its fully open
and closed positions and, where applicable, intermediate positions.
The awning may only be used for the above purpose, even if it is installed with a waterproof or PVC fabric.
The awning may be used by adult operators.
ATTENTION
IT IS FORBIDDEN to use the awning for any other purpose as the relative operating
conditions could jeopardize personal safety.
IT IS FORBIDDEN to place objects on the awning and/or hang onto it.
The Manufacturer declines all liability for injury to persons or damage to property deriving from improper use.
Failure to observe the conditions of use automatically invalidates any warranty granted by
the Manufacturer.
