HELPFUL
HINTS FOR
AWNING CARE
Whenever the
awning
is
wet while
rolled
up, as soon as conditions
allow,
roll it
out and
let it
dry
before
rolling
it up
again. This
will help prevent mildew and
rotting.
Mildew
does
not form on the
fabric
itself,
but
on
the accumulated dust, dirt and
grime.
Periodically
clean
vinyl
or
woven acrylic. Refer to cleaning instructions
below for fabric care.
Always make sure
the
awning
is
extended
high enough before opening the entry
door.
Apply silicone spray
lubricant
as
needed to keep
the
awning's
moving parts oper-
ating smoothly. For
ease
of operation on
hardware, rub candle
wax
on all
sliding
surfaces.
8500
and SUNCHASER:
Abrasion, weather and
long
hours
in the
sun
are vinyl's
worst
enemies.
To avoid
these problems,
you will
need
to
keep
your
awning
clean.
Use a
mixture of 1/ 4 cup
dish
soap,
1/4
cup bleach
and
five
gallons
of
fresh water. Soap
the open
awning
with
this mixture, then roll it
up
and
let
stand for
five minutes. Rolling up of the
awning
will
apply
the
mixture
to
the underside
of
the fabric.
Unroll
the
awning
and hose off
the
top and bottom with
clean
water.
Repeat if
necessary
and
allow
to
completely dry.
9000;
In
addition to
its beauty
and
soft
translucence,
woven acrylic
fabric
offers the ad-
vantages
of strength
and
breathable. It is water repellent;
but because it
is a
woven
cloth,
it is n
ot water
proof.
To
keep
your
acrylic awning
clean, simply hose it off
occasionally
and
let
it
dry. Do
Not
Scrub.
Avoid touching the
underside of
the 9000
canopy when it
is
wet.
To do
so
will break
the
surface
tension
of
the
water
and
encourage
seepage
through the fabric.
Because woven acrylic is
of
a
much lighter weight
than
vinyl,
shifting
may occur
if the
awning and
pull
strap
are not
centrally
aligned with
the fabric
roller
tube
while
the
awning
is
being
rolled
up.
If
necessary, roll
the awning out
and
adjust
the alignment.
