General Operation; Operation With Electric Drive Or Control System - Stobag Terrado Bedienungsanleitung

Operating instructions

2.0 General operation

• There should be no people or obstacles in the way of the sun protection system when it
is being extended or retracted.
• Never let children operate the sun protection system or any control unit.
• The operator must be able to see the sun protection system while operating it.
• The sun protection system must not be used if it needs to be repaired or serviced. Any
control units must be switched to manual operation.
• Moving parts of the sun protection system must not be touched when it is being ex-
tended or retracted.
• The built-in awning provides protection from the sun. It is recommended that the sun
protection system be retracted immediately in the event of strong winds over 49 km/hr
or rain. (See also point 1.3, max. permissible wind load.)
• To prevent damage, the sun protection system should not be operated if it snows,
because of the load, or is icy or frosty.
• As far as possible, only retract the sun protection system when it is clean and dry. Try
to remove any leaves and the like before retracting. Damp or wet awning covers should
be fully extended to dry out as soon as possible. If this is not done, creases or other
visual damage may be caused to the awning which are not covered by the guarantee.
2.1

Operation with electric drive or control system

• We recommend to operate the sun protection systems with an electric drive, also avail-
able as an option, are controlled by a wind sensor or automatic sun-wind controller.
This will greatly reduce the risk of damage caused by wind and rain.
If the sun protection system is retracted by the wind sensor, on some models it may not
be possible to extend it again for 10 – 20 minutes during the wind blockage time.
• It should be remembered that strong gusts of wind may occur when a storm is brewing
and the wind sensor may not be able to react quickly enough.
• If the sun protection system does not have a sun or wind sensor, it must be retracted if
you leave the house for holidays, the weekend, shopping and at night.
• Awnings with electric drive and automatic control system must be set to manual opera-
tion during the winter months. Iced-up awnings should only be extended again when
the ice has melted.
