Care and maintenance of your SUNDOWNER Awning.
Your SUNDOWNER Awning will last longer by giving it an
occasional hose down to remove salt, dirt and any deposits.
Clear debris and build up from front channel with a brush
or broom. Check tension on adjustable arms and wall bracket
nuts to ensure security and always ensure end caps are secure
for safety. To remove from wall, simply remove adjustable
arm nut and bolt from wall bracket, and 12mm screws from
weatherstrip and then lower awning flat against wall and
lift off back
channel.
