4. Operating Guidelines
4.1. Roof Operation
The roof canopy can be opened and closed continuously using the pull cord. This allows you to adjust the amount of shade or sun exposure as desired. Ensure the cord is not tangled and operates freely.
4.2. Side Blind Operation
The side blinds are independently operable via a cable mechanism. Pull the cable to raise or lower the blinds to your preferred height for privacy or protection from sun and wind. Do not force the blinds if they encounter resistance.

5. Maintenance and Care
- Frame Cleaning: Clean the steel frame with a mild soap solution and a soft cloth. Rinse thoroughly with water and dry to prevent rust. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
- Fabric Cleaning: The polyester roof and side blinds can be cleaned with a soft brush and mild soapy water. Do not use harsh chemicals or machine wash. Allow fabric to air dry completely before retracting or storing.
- Winter Storage: While designed for all-year use, it is recommended to remove the fabric roof and side blinds during heavy snowfalls or extreme weather conditions to prolong their lifespan. Store them in a dry, protected area.
- Regular Inspection: Periodically check all bolts and connections to ensure they remain tight. Inspect the fabric for any tears or damage and repair as needed.
