SUNSETTER AWNING INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
PAGE - 8
LUBRICATION
Once a year, you may wish to lubricate the gray plastic bushing on the
roller bar on the side opposite of the motor or gear crank unit. During
extended use, dust may accumulate on this moving part and may cause a
minor squeak as the awning opens or closes. Any type of light lubricant
will eliminate this type of noise. You may also wish to lubricate the
pivot point of the lateral arm elbows. -- see figure 10
CAUTION: NEVER USE A BARBEQUE GRILL (figure 11a), ANY TYPE OF PATIO HEATER (figure 11b) OR FIREPLACE (figure 11c) UNDER YOUR SUNSETTER AWNING.
CARE AND MAINTENANCE OF YOUR ELECTRIC MOTOR AND REMOTE
WARNING: ANY PERMANENT WIRING OF THE AWNING MUST BE PERFORMED BY A LICENSED ELECTRICIAN PER YOUR LOCAL ELECTRICAL CODES. ANY TYPE OF MODIFICATION WILL VOID THE WARRANTY ON THIS PRODUCT.
THE OUTDOOR ELECTRIC MOTOR
The motor is supplied by Somfy Systems Inc., the recognized world leader
in specialized electric tubular motors for awnings and sunshades. This
110-volt motor is UL(Underwriters Laboratories) and CSA (Canadian Standards
Association) approved. This Somfy motor features the manual override option
that allows you the safety and convenience of manual operation during
electrical failures.
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 several minutes of cooling down.
PROTECTING THE ELECTRIC MOTOR FROM WATER DAMAGE
Rain water gaining access into the rolled bar could damage the internal
components of the motor. If your awning is not protected by a soffit or
overhang, we strongly recommend to call 1-800-834-9036 and purchase the
Sunsetter Awning Cover. Installing the Sunsetter Cover over your awning
will reduce the rick of water damage to the motor.
CHANGING THE BATTERY ON YOUR REMOTE TRANSMITTER
Please note that you might have to replace the battery after 3 years,
or if the remote transmitter stops working. You should find this type
of battery (3V Lithium CR2430), in any local hardware store. To replace
the battery, simply remove the small Phillips screw on the back cover,
replace the old battery, and reinstall the back cover and Phillips screw.
Be sure to note the orientation of the old battery as you remove it.
ENJOY YOUR SUNSETTER AWNING!
