5. Operating Instructions

The awning is operated manually using a crank handle, allowing for easy extension and retraction, as well as adjustment of its angle.

• Extending the Awning: Insert the crank handle into the designated loop on the side of the awning. Turn the handle clockwise to extend the awning fabric.
• Retracting the Awning: Turn the crank handle counter-clockwise to retract the awning fabric. Ensure the fabric is fully retracted when not in use or during strong winds.
• Adjusting Angle: The awning can be extended vertically or diagonally to provide optimal shade. Adjust the support bars as needed to achieve the desired angle.

6. Maintenance

Proper maintenance will extend the lifespan of your Juskys Kapstadt Awning.

• Cleaning the Fabric: The awning fabric is made from robust, PU-coated material that is UV-resistant and water-repellent. Clean the fabric regularly 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.
• Frame Maintenance: Periodically check the steel frame for any signs of rust or damage. Clean the frame with a damp cloth. Lubricate moving parts, such as the crank mechanism, annually with a silicone-based spray to ensure smooth operation.
• Winter Storage: If possible, retract the awning completely and store it in a dry, protected area during winter months or prolonged periods of non-use to prevent damage from extreme weather.

• Awning does not extend/retract smoothly:
  • Check if the crank mechanism is obstructed.
  • Ensure the fabric is not caught or tangled.
  • Lubricate the moving parts of the crank mechanism.
• Awning feels unstable:
  • Verify that the vertical support poles are securely clamped and fully extended to the correct height.
