2. Safety Instructions

• Always check local weather conditions before and during use. Do not use the side awning during extreme weather conditions such as strong winds, heavy rain, or snow. Retract the awning immediately to prevent damage.

4. Setup and Installation

The Juskys Dubai Side Awning requires assembly. Follow these steps carefully for secure installation.

1. Choose Location: Select a suitable, stable wall for mounting the awning housing. Ensure the ground where the mounting post will be anchored is firm and level. The awning extends up to 5 meters, so plan your desired extension length.
2. Mount Awning Housing: Position the awning housing against the chosen wall at the desired height. Mark the drilling points for the wall mount brackets. Drill holes, insert wall plugs, and securely fasten the awning housing to the wall using the provided screws.
3. Anchor Mounting Post: Determine the desired distance for the fully extended awning (up to 5 meters). Position the mounting post at this location. Mark the drilling points for the ground anchor. Drill holes, insert wall plugs (if applicable for your ground type), and securely anchor the mounting post to the ground.
4. Final Check: Ensure both the awning housing and the mounting post are firmly secured and stable before attempting to extend the awning.

5. Operating Instructions

The Juskys Dubai Side Awning operates manually.

1. To Extend: Gently pull the handle on the end of the awning fabric away from the housing. Guide the fabric towards the mounting post.
2. To Secure: Once the awning is extended to the desired length, hook the handle onto the designated catch on the mounting post. Ensure it is securely latched to prevent accidental retraction.
3. To Retract: Unlatch the handle from the mounting post. Slowly guide the awning fabric back towards the housing. The internal spring mechanism will retract the fabric smoothly into the cassette. Do not release the handle abruptly, as this can cause the fabric to snap back quickly.

6. Maintenance

Proper maintenance will extend the lifespan of your side awning.

• Cleaning the Fabric: The awning fabric is made of 100% polyester with a water-repellent PU coating. Clean the fabric with a soft brush or cloth and mild soapy water. Rinse thoroughly with clean water and allow it to air dry completely before retracting. Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
• Cleaning the Frame: Wipe the aluminum frame and plastic components with a damp cloth.
• Inspection: Periodically check all screws and bolts for tightness. Ensure the retraction mechanism operates smoothly. Lubricate moving parts with a silicone spray if necessary.
• Winter Storage: While the fabric is weather-resistant, it is recommended to keep the awning retracted in its cassette during prolonged periods of non-use or harsh winter conditions to protect it from extreme elements.

7. Troubleshooting

Here are solutions to common issues you might encounter:

• Awning does not retract smoothly: Check for any obstructions in the cassette or along the fabric path. Ensure the fabric is clean and dry. The spring mechanism might require lubrication with a silicone spray.
• Awning sags or is loose when extended: Verify that the mounting post is securely anchored and the handle is properly latched. Check for any damage to the fabric or frame.
• Awning is difficult to extend: Ensure the fabric is not stuck or obstructed. Check if the housing is level and properly mounted.
• Awning makes noise during operation: This could indicate a need for lubrication of the moving parts within the housing or at the mounting post.
