4. Setup and Installation
This awning features a drill-free installation system, relying on tension between the floor and an overhead structure (e.g., balcony ceiling, overhang). It is recommended that two people perform the installation.
- Measure Installation Area: Ensure the height of your installation area is between 220 cm and 300 cm. The awning fabric width is 250 cm.
- Assemble Support Poles: Connect the sections of the telescopic support poles. Ensure the tensioning mechanisms are loose.
- Attach Awning Fabric: Carefully slide the awning fabric onto the designated bars of the frame. Ensure the fabric is correctly oriented.
- Position Poles: Place the assembled poles vertically in the desired location, ensuring they are aligned and the awning frame is level.
- Adjust Height and Tension: Extend the telescopic poles until they make firm contact with the floor and the overhead structure. Use the tensioning screws to secure the poles firmly in place. The system relies on pressure, so ensure adequate tension without over-tightening to avoid damage.
- Attach Crank Handle: Secure the crank handle to its designated attachment point on the awning mechanism.
- Test Operation: Slowly extend and retract the awning using the crank handle to ensure smooth operation and proper tension.

5. Operating Instructions
Your YEAUPE PRO Balcony Awning is designed for simple manual operation.
- Extending the Awning: Insert the crank handle into the designated loop or hook. Rotate the handle clockwise to extend the awning fabric.
- Retracting the Awning: Rotate the crank handle counter-clockwise to retract the awning fabric. Ensure the fabric rolls up smoothly without jamming.
- Adjusting Angle: The awning's angle can be adjusted to optimize shade. Refer to the installation diagram for specific adjustment points.

6. Maintenance
Proper maintenance will extend the life and appearance of your awning.
- Cleaning the Fabric: The polyester fabric with PU coating is waterproof and easy to clean. Use a mild soap solution and a soft brush or cloth. Rinse thoroughly with clean water and allow to air dry completely before retracting. Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
- Cleaning the Frame: Wipe down the galvanized iron poles and aluminum cross arm with a damp cloth to remove dirt and debris.
- Seasonal Storage: For prolonged periods of non-use or during harsh weather conditions (winter), it is recommended to retract the awning completely. If possible, disassemble and store in a dry, protected area.
- Inspection: Periodically inspect all components for wear, damage, or loose connections. Tighten any loose screws or adjust tension as needed.
