Congratulations on purchasing your new MHZ product! You have
chosen a product of high quality. The safety of all MHZ awnings

information. To ensure that you gain great pleasure from your
product for many years to come, we would therefore ask you to
heed these operating instructions.
1. Reading the operating instructions

The operating instructions must be read prior to the
first use of the awning. It is important for the safety of users
and others that these instructions are followed. Failure to
do so absolves the manufacturer of any duty of liability.
All instructions are to be kept by the customer for future
reference and must be passed on to the new owner if the
awning is sold.

4. Use for the intended purpose
!
The awning is a sunshade system and may be used
only for its intended purpose of providing shade from the
sun. Considerable danger may result from improper use.
Any alterations, such as add-ons or modifications not
provided for by the manufacturer, may be carried out only
with the manufacturer's written consent.
Applying additional loads to the awning by attaching
objects or through cord tensioning can result in it be-
coming damaged or falling down and are not permitted.
5. Operation
!
It must be ensured that the awning is not operated
by children or by anybody unable to appreciate properly
the dangers arising from using it incorrectly. Wireless
remote controls are to be stored out of their reach.
!
When extending or retracting the awning, ensure
that there are no people or obstacles blocking its path
or touching any of its parts.
!
When bad weather, such as rain, high winds or a
thunder storm, is looming, the awning must always be
retracted in good time and may not be used. Should it,
however, no longer to be possible to retract the system
in time, e.g. due to power failure or damage, people must
in that case be kept out of the awning's danger area.
!
The fabric and housing may become electrically
charged as the awning is extended and retracted. If any-
one touches the fabric or housing, the electrostatic charge
may discharge via their body
!
Before using the system for the first time see also in
this regard the separately enclosed setting and operating
instructions from the manufacturers of the motor, switching
system and controls
i
In its extended state the awning fabric should always
be taut. If necessary, wind the awning back in a bit. Always
retract the awning completely. In this way you ensure that
the awning fabric is kept as clean as possible.
