GENERAL CARE AND USAGE INSTRUCTIONS

The main seams of this awning are taped to ensure water protection. These can become damaged over time
but can be repaired and resealed by using seam sealer. For the bestresults, we recommend contacting your
dealer to find out which products to use.
UV degradation causes the material to go brittle, fade or change color. The time it takes to do this will differ
depending upon how often you use it and what the weather is like when you do. It is a natural process which
affects all materials used outdoors. This awning is coated to help prevent this process, but it does not stop it,
it only helps slow it down. You can help protect against this degradation by regular care and proofing of the
awning. The awning should be regularly cleaned and reproofed to ensure that mold and mildew do not build
up and damage the awning. After cleaning your awning, you should always reproof the awning as cleaning the
awning will damage the UV coating on the material. For the best results, we recommend contacting your dealer
to find out which products to use. Weathering due to excessive UV degradation is not covered by the warranty.
All coated, non-breathing materials suffer from condensation. The amount of condensation depends upon the
weather conditions and the environment (such as wet ground etc.). During condensation, water can collect
on the fabric of the awning. If enough condensation forms this can run down the awning and drip off seams
or any other stitching point. It can be lessened by ventilation. Ventilating your awning allows air to flow though
the awning and lessens the buildup of condensation. Condensation is often mistaken for leaking and is not a
reason for complaint or a fault of the awning.
This awning is designed for private and non-commercial use. This air awning is not for permanent or for sea-
sonal site use. The warranty does not cover this. In case of storms or snowfall, the awning must be taken down
to avoid damage.
Please store your awning dry. If you must take your awning down when it is wet, you must unpack it within a
week and allow it to dry out before packing it away. This is to ensure that mold and mildew do not build up as
this can lead to damage on your awning and is not covered under your warranty. To clean this awning, we re-
commend using a specific tent or awning cleaner or just water and a soft cleaning cloth. Heavy soiling should
be allowed to dry and brushed with a soft brush beforehand. After cleaning your awning, you should always
reproof it as the UV coating on your awning could be damaged during cleaning. For the best results, we recom-
mend contacting your dealer to find out which products to use.
