Operation

The VINGLI Manual Retractable Awning is designed for easy operation.

Extending and Retracting the Awning

To extend the awning, rotate the hand crank counter-clockwise. To retract the awning, rotate the hand crank clockwise. The awning can be fully extended or retracted as needed.

Adjusting the Angle

The crank handle allows for a smooth angle adjustment from 0° to 90°, providing optimal shade control throughout the day. Adjust the angle to block direct sunlight or to allow more light as desired.

Maintenance

Regular maintenance will ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your awning.

• Cleaning: Clean the awning fabric with mild soap and water. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners that could damage the material or coating.
• Inspection: Periodically inspect the frame, connections, and fabric for any signs of wear, damage, or loose parts. Tighten any loose screws or knobs as needed.
• Weather Protection: Always retract the awning during severe weather conditions such as strong winds, heavy rain, or snow to prevent damage.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter any issues, refer to the following common solutions:

• Awning not extending/retracting smoothly: Check for any obstructions in the mechanism or along the fabric path. Ensure all connections are secure and consider lubricating moving parts if necessary.
• Awning feels unstable: Verify that the vertical support poles are securely tightened against both the floor and the overhead surface. Check that the anti-slip pads are properly positioned and providing adequate grip.
• Water pooling on fabric: Ensure the awning is extended with a sufficient angle to allow water to run off. Adjust the angle using the hand crank if pooling occurs.
