Product Handling:
Your NuShade Retractable Awning has been constructed, packaged and shipped with the
utmost of care using state-of-the-art technology. Take care when removing the awning from the
shipping container so it will be protected from accidental damage or soiling.
Once the awning has been removed from the shipping container, do not drop or drag the awning
across the ground. Transport the awning by wrapping your arms around it or lifting on the square
support tube that runs the entire length of the awning. NEVER carry the awning by the fabric roll
tube, as this will cause permanent damage not covered by the warranty.
It is also very important to take care when removing the packaging material around the awning.
The fabric material is just below the clear protective wrap and use of a razor knife can easily
slice into it. Locate the at surface of 1/2” Styrofoam and carefully cut the clear wrap down the
entire length of the Styrofoam. DO NOT cut deep just through the plastic wrap or damage to the
awning can occur. The remainder of the wrap can now be easily removed.
