2. Veiligheidsinformatie

WAARSCHUWING: Het niet opvolgen van deze veiligheidsinstructies kan leiden tot ernstig letsel of schade aan het product.

• Locatiekeuze: Choose a level, clear area for assembly. Avoid placing the carport near power lines, trees, or other structures that could cause damage.
• Windomstandigheden: This carport is designed for temporary use and is not intended for permanent installation or use in high wind conditions (above 15 mph). Strong winds can cause structural failure. If strong winds are anticipated, disassemble the carport or secure it with additional heavy-duty anchors.
• Verankering: Always use all provided stakes and anchors. For increased stability, especially in areas prone to moderate winds, consider purchasing additional heavy-duty anchors or securing the frame to concrete footings.
• Sneeuw en ijs: Do not allow snow or ice to accumulate on the canopy. Heavy loads can cause the frame to collapse. Regularly clear snow and ice from the roof.
• Montage: Assembly requires at least two adults. Wear appropriate safety gear, such as gloves, during assembly. Do not attempt to assemble in strong winds or adverse weather conditions.
• Brandgevaar: Keep all heat sources and open flames away from the canopy fabric. The fabric is not fireproof.
• Inspectie: Periodically inspect all connections, ropes, and anchors to ensure they are secure and in good condition. Replace any damaged parts immediately.

• Ventilatie: Ensure adequate ventilation if storing items that require airflow.
• Beperkingen: As noted in the safety section, this carport is not suitable for extreme weather conditions, including heavy snow, strong winds, or prolonged exposure to severe elements.

6. Onderhoud

Regelmatig onderhoud verlengt de levensduur van uw carport.

• Het reinigen van de luifel: Clean the canopy fabric periodically with mild soap and water. Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, as these can damage the UV coating and waterproof properties. Rinse thoroughly and allow to air dry completely before storage.
• Frame-inspectie: Regularly check all frame connections for tightness. Ensure no poles are bent or damaged.
• Anchor Check: Frequently inspect the ground anchors and ropes. Re-tighten or re-secure them as needed, especially after windy conditions. Stakes can loosen over time.
• Opslag: If disassembling for storage, clean and dry all components thoroughly. Store poles and connectors in a dry place to prevent rust. Fold the canopy neatly to prevent creases and tears.

7. Probleemoplossing

• Carport Instability / Stakes Pulling Out:
  Oorzaak: Insufficient anchoring, loose stakes, or strong winds.
  Oplossing: Ensure all stakes are driven deep into the ground. Use additional, longer, or heavier-duty anchors (e.g., auger anchors, concrete weights) for improved stability. This carport is not designed for high winds; disassemble if severe weather is expected.
• Canopy Tearing / Holes:
  Oorzaak: Abrasion against frame, prolonged exposure to harsh elements, or manufacturing defect.
  Oplossing: Inspect the frame for sharp edges and cover them if found. Patch small tears with a suitable repair kit. For significant damage, a replacement cover may be necessary.
• Wateraccumulatie op het dak:
  Oorzaak: Improper canopy tension or extreme weather.
  Oplossing: Ensure the canopy is pulled taut and evenly distributed over the frame. The roof is designed to shed water, but heavy rainfall can still cause pooling if not properly tensioned.
• Bent or Broken Poles:
  Oorzaak: Excessive stress from wind, snow, or improper assembly.
  Oplossing: Replace damaged poles immediately. Do not attempt to use a carport with compromised structural integrity.
