Operating Instructions

Your pergola features an easy-to-use manual control system for adjusting the louvers.

Adjusting the Louvers:

• The pergola is equipped with two independent louvered zones. Each zone can be adjusted separately.
• Use the provided crank handle to rotate the louvers. The louvers can rotate from 0 to 85 degrees, allowing for precise control of sunlight, ventilation, and shading.

• To open the louvers, turn the crank in one direction. To close them, turn it in the opposite direction.
• For full sun exposure or ventilation, open the louvers completely. For maximum shade or rain protection, close them fully.

Drainage System:

• The integrated drainage system is designed to channel rainwater away from the covered area.
• When the louvers are closed, rainwater will be collected and directed through the internal gutters within the pergola frame.
• Ensure the drainage outlets at the base of the posts are clear of debris to allow for efficient water runoff.

Maintenance

Regular maintenance will help preserve the appearance and functionality of your PURPLE LEAF Louvered Pergola.

• Cleaning: Clean the aluminum frame and louvers periodically with mild soap and water. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals that could damage the powder coating.
• Inspection: Annually inspect all bolts and connections to ensure they remain tight. Re-tighten if necessary.
• Drainage: Keep the internal gutters and drainage outlets clear of leaves, dirt, and other debris to prevent water accumulation.
• Winter Care: In areas with heavy snowfall, it is recommended to keep the louvers open to prevent snow accumulation and reduce stress on the structure.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter any issues with your pergola, please refer to the following common solutions:

• Louvers not operating smoothly: Check for any obstructions in the louver mechanism or tracks. Ensure the crank handle is properly engaged.
• Water pooling on the roof: Verify that the louvers are fully closed for rain protection. Inspect the drainage system for blockages and clear any debris.
• Pergola feels unstable: Re-check all assembly bolts to ensure they are securely tightened. Confirm that the pergola is properly anchored to the ground.
