7. Operation:
7.1 General Safety Information for the Operation of Helioscreen external products
The operation of Helioscreen external products may only be carried out by persons who
have received instruction by trained specialist personnel.
Ensure that children do not operate the products unsupervised.
Keep remote control units out of reach of children!
During operation please ensure the user can see the product whilst moving.
Do not touch the product when retracting or deploying it (danger due to pinch points).
The fabric / cloth may not be walked on and not loaded with foreign bodies.
No toys, objects or weights may be attached to the product. The resting against of objects
such as e.g. a ladder is also not allowed.
When working close to the projecting area of Helioscreen external products, the automatic
control (e.g. wind, sun control) must be switched off, so that the product cannot deploy
automatically.
Helioscreen external products should be retracted in the evenings and before leaving home.
With the formation of ice, snow or strong wind, Helioscreen external products may not be
deployed. Helioscreen external products can be used for limited protection against rain IF:
The system must be used on the minimum inclination of 15° (Equal to 25% or more) to allow
effective angle for water run off.
The unsupervised utilisation as protection against rain is not permissible, since the formation
of a water pocket cannot be entirely excluded. Under no circumstances should the user allow
the product to hold water, doing so can result in extensive damage to the fabric and system
which is not covered under warranty.
www.helioscreen.com.au
The VarioValance (optional accessory for articulated awnings) must be rolled up before the
system is retracted.
If the product fabric / cloth become moist or wet, the system must be extended as soon as
possible in order to dry the awning cloth (danger of the formation of stains and mildew,
damage to the awning material and the seams).
7.2 Operating Helioscreen external products with Hand Crank
a) Helioshade articulated arm series
Deploying the awning:
Engage hand crank in transmission lug and deploy awning to the position required or completely
by turning the crank in a clockwise direction.
The end position of the system (fully deployed) is set fixed. Thereby, the awning cloth always
remains tensioned. If the awning cloth loses tension, the tension is to be restored by retracting
the system slightly.
Retracting the awning:
Turn hand crank in an anti-clockwise direction until the system is closed.
On reaching the end position, do not continue to turn the hand crank inside and outside with
force, the risk of damage to the transmission exists and overstretching or wrinkling of the
cloth.
When you retract the awning, ensure that the cloth (fabric) is always wound up straight with even
tensions on the roller tube.
On reaching the end position, do not continue to turn the hand crank inside and outside with
force, the risk of damage to the transmission exists and overstretching or wrinkling of the
cloth.

explained.
Deploying the system:
Press the out button and deploy product to the required degree of shading, or completely. The
end position is reached when the motor switches off.
Retracting the system:
Press the in button and retract product to the required degree of shading or completely. The end
position is reached when the motor switches off.
If using remote control the middle button of the remote control may be used at any at any point
to stop the product.
During operation please ensure the user can see the product moving.
Supplementary information about special functions can be referred to in the documentation for
the motor control and operating devices.
8. Cleaning and Care:
Use suitable safety products and disconnect power when required.
Do not use any high-pressure cleaners or scouring agent and scouring sponges for
cleaning!
Solvents such as alcohol or petrol may not be used!
Note: When cleaning or servicing awnings with electric motors, always ensure that the
power is switched off to prevent accidental extension or retraction. Never wet the motor,
sensors or remote control. Doing so may cause damage not covered by the warranty.
Cleaning of Helioscreen external products:
Dirt can be removed from the system with a soft brush or a hand sponge.
Small spots can be rubbed off with a clean rubber eraser or brushed off when dry
Clean the fabric with a fine liquid detergent in warm water. Only use gentle on skin diluted soap
solution and a soft brush. It should then be rinsed thoroughly with clean cold water. It may be
necessary to repeat the process.
For heavier dirt and stains, we recommend a specially developed awning fabric cleaner, used in
accordance with its instructions (Please refer to the specific fabric cleaning instruction for your
type of fabric).
After cleaning, the awning cloth must be dried completely before retracting.
www.helioscreen.com.au
The aluminum frame of the system can be cleaned with a common household cleaner and wiped
off with a damp cloth. The following is from the powder coating Warranty by Dulux Australia;
“The effects of ultra violet light, pollution, dirt, grime and salt deposits can all accumulate on your
powder coated surface over time. To extend the effective life of powder coatings and protect any
warranty requirements that may exist, a very simple regular maintenance program should be
implemented and recorded for the removal of any residues.
As a general rule, cleaning should take place every six months. However, in areas where
pollutants are more prevalent, especially in coastal or industrial regions, a cleaning
program should be carried out on a more frequent basis (i.e. every three months).”
THREE STEPS TO CLEANING POWDER COATED / ANODISED SURFACES
1. Remove loose deposits with a wet sponge (avoid scratching the surface by dry dusting).
2. Using a soft clean cloth and a mild detergent in warm water, clean the powder coating to
remove dust, salt or other deposits.
3. Always rinse after cleaning with fresh water to remove any remaining detergent.
WARNING
In some cases, strong solvents recommended for thinning various types of paints and also for
cleaning up mastics/sealants are harmful to the extended life of the powder coated surface.
These solvents should not be used for cleaning purposes and will render the warranty void if
used. If paint splashes or sealants/mastics need to be removed then the following solvents can
be used safely: Methylated Spirits, White Spirits, Ethyl Alcohol, and Isopropanol.
As a warranty requirement all products are required to be cleaned regularly as outlined above.

General Information on external fabrics
Polyester and Acrylic fiber external fabrics are high-performance products with high UV and
fade resistance, anti-mould, water and dirt-resistant finish. They will provide years of comfortable
protection from the sun given the right care and attention. Do not allow build up of grim, dirt,
stains, sticks, leaves, bird droppings as doing so may permantently damage the fabric. Where
possible clean or hose off on sunny days.
Note: Despite the high level of technology in the manufacture of such awning fabrics, the
treatment of the fabric produces small defects that cannot be avoided. These small cosmetic
defects do not affect the life or the functioning of the fabric.
www.helioscreen.com.au
9. Maintenance:
The safe usage of Helioscreen external products can only be ensured if the system is
checked and serviced regularly.
All Helioscreen external products should be examined regularly for signs of wear and damage to
system, fabric covering or frame.
It is our recommendation that a service check be carried out every 12 months depending on
installation location and amount of usage as per point 7 in warranty. A service logbook should be
kept recording any cleaning, maintenance or repairs works to provide in the case of a warranty
claim.
If damage is noticed, then a Helioscreen specialist or suitably trained and licensed service
organization is to be commissioned for the repair.
All Helioscreen external products in need of repair must not be used to avoid further
damage.
In general, all mechanical parts are low-maintenance. Occasional lubrication of the moving parts
with a suitable dry lubricant, such as silicone spray (wet lubricants such as WD40 are not
recommended) and periodic checks and servicing by an external product specialist is required
and will prolong the life of the awning.
Extreme caution must be taken when working on the arm of articulated arm awnings. The
arm is built with a high amount of internal spring tension which can cause serious personal
injury. DO NOT adjust the arms on the awning unless you have been trained to do so.
Sensor maintenance
If there is a sensor control system, the sensor should be checked periodically for damage and
that it is functioning. Eg, Wind sensor, blow on the sensor. Rain sensor, pour a small amount of
water on the sensor.
If it does not work correctly, it must be checked by a specialist supplier
For all motorised products there is a risk of electrocution. Work on electrical components
may only be carried out by licensed electricians. Never wet the motor, sensors or remote control.
Doing so may cause damage not covered by the warranty.
10. Removal of Helioscreen external systems:
Damage to persons or property can result due to improper installation procedures.
Only allow removal of system to be carried out by a Helioscreen specialist or suitably trained and
licensed person.
For all motorised products there is a risk of electrocution. Work on electrical components
may only be carried out by licensed electricians.
