4. Operating Instructions
The retractable roof canopy allows you to control the amount of shade and sunlight for optimal comfort.
Adjusting the Retractable Roof:
- To Extend the Canopy: Gently pull the canopy outwards from its retracted position. The canopy will slide along the tracks. Ensure it extends evenly.
- To Retract the Canopy: Gently push the canopy inwards towards the frame. The magnetic snap closures will help hold the canopy in its retracted position.
- Optimal Shade: Adjust the canopy's position throughout the day to adapt to the sun's movement and your desired level of shade.
The canopy is designed to prevent rainwater accumulation when extended. In strong winds or heavy snowfall, it is recommended to retract the canopy to prevent damage.

6. Troubleshooting
If you encounter any issues with your JUMMICO pergola, refer to the following common troubleshooting tips:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Pergola feels unstable. | Anchors are not properly secured or ground is too soft. | Ensure all ground anchors are fully engaged. If on soft ground, consider additional reinforcement or relocation to a firmer surface. Check all frame connections for tightness. |
| Canopy does not slide smoothly. | Tracks are dirty or obstructed; canopy is misaligned. | Clean the canopy tracks of any debris. Check for proper alignment of the canopy on the tracks. Apply a silicone-based lubricant if necessary (avoid oil-based lubricants). |
| Water pooling on canopy. | Canopy not fully extended or installed incorrectly. | Ensure the canopy is fully extended and taut. Verify that the canopy was installed with the correct slope for water runoff as per assembly instructions. |
