PAGE - 7
NOTE: For Motorized Awnings - Do not plug the power cord into the outdoor outlet yet.
20. Remove the plastic safety sleeves from the arms -- see figure 10.
Motorized awnings continue with step 21.
For Vista Manual awnings proceed to step 23.
21. Plug the electric cord into your outdoor ground fault receptacle.
22. We have also supplied a wall holder for the remote transmitter - see figure on page 2a. Simply position the holder at the desired location, mark the two hole locations and secure with the supplied screws and anchors, if needed.
CAUTION: Do not permit the hand-held remote transmitter to get wet as this can affect its proper operation. It is recommended to install wall holder inside the house.
NOTE: During an electrical outage, you can open or close your awning using the crank wand supplied. Just insert the wand into the crank and turn. see figure 9 on page 6.
23. Using the remote or crank wand as application, open your awning to its full projection. The arms will still be bent but locked at the elbow. This is normal. They will never straighten out completely. Are you happy with the height and level of the front bar? If yes, Great! Your installation is now complete. Enjoy your new Sunsetter Awning.
If No, and you would like to change the pitch (angle) of your awning - refer to Appendix A on page 9.
If you purchased the Motorized Awning - refer to Appendix E for operating the front roll-down weatherbreaker.
GENERAL CARE AND MAINTENANCE OF YOUR SUNSETTER AWNING
CAUTION: Prior to operating the awningm be sure that no onjects or persons can come in contact with it as it opens and closes. Keep children away from any moving parts of the awnings as it operates.
CAUTION: NEVER ATTEMP TO REPAIR OR DISASSEMBLE ANY PART OF THE AWNING WITHOUT FOLLOWING REPLACEMENT PART PROCEDURES SUPPLIED BY THE MANUFACTURER.
CAUTION: Damage to the awning fabric, arms, and mechanism caused by water pooling or windy conditions are not covered by the manufacturer's warranty. Always retract your awning during periods of heavy rain and snow. Never leave your awning extended out and unattended when there are heavy winds.
WARNING: RAIN WATER POOLING ON THE FABRIC COULD RESULT IN THE COLLAPSE OF THE AWNING AND CAUSE PERSONAL INJURY. YOU MUST ROLL-UP YOUR AWNING WHEN WATER STARTS POOLING ON THE FABRIC.
NOTE: It is normal for the fabric to form waves or wrinkles at the hemmed edges as the awning rolls up. This is because the fabric layer is double only along the edges. It is also possible for the awning fabric to slightly sag as a result of its own weight, this is normal.
PROTECTING THE SUNSETTER FABRIC FROM MILDEW
lf it is necessary to roll the awning up wet, be sure to extend it
out to dry when the weather is better. While the vinyl awning fabric itself
won't mildew, mildew can form on the dust and dirt allowed to accumulate
on the fabric. If the fabric is rolled up and stored when wet, the moisture
will promote the formation of mildew. DO NOT use caustic cleaners.
CLEANING THE FABRIC:
Cleaning the awning regularly will extend the life of the fabric and
prevent the formation of mildew. Call 1-800-834-9036 to order a Sunsetter
Cleaning and Maintenance Kit.
PROTECTING THE SUNSETTER FRAME
Your Sunsetter Motorized awning contains extruded and die-cast aluminum
components. These aluminum parts are powder-coated for long-lasting beauty.
(We have included a bottle of color-matched touch-up paint with your awning
in the event that some area of the painted surface gets scratched during
installation. Please use it as needed.)
