Troubleshooting
Awning is difficult to extend or retract
Ensure the crank mechanism is clear of debris. Check that the awning fabric is not caught or twisted. Verify the mounting is secure and the housing is not bent.
Awning does not remain extended
Check if the locking mechanism within the crank system is engaging correctly. Ensure the awning is fully extended and the tension is properly set.
Fabric appears stretched or uneven
This can happen with prolonged exposure or if not properly retracted in wind. Allow the fabric to dry completely, then retract fully and let it rest. Minor creases usually disappear with use.
Noise during operation
Some operational noise from the crank mechanism is normal. If excessive, check for obstructions or ensure the unit is properly lubricated (consult manufacturer recommendations for lubricant type).
