In brief:<\/strong> Before winter you should clean the guide rails, check the end positions and adjust the automation. This prevents the roller shutter from freezing and the motor from being overloaded.<\/p>\n

Checklist<\/h2>\n
    \n
  1. Clear leaves and dirt from the guide rails.<\/li>\n
  2. Check slats for damage.<\/li>\n
  3. Check the lower end position \u2013 the curtain should rest, not press.<\/li>\n
  4. Adjust the timer automation to shorter days.<\/li>\n
  5. When there is a risk of frost, use a ventilation position instead of closing completely.<\/li>\n
  6. Replace batteries in hand transmitters.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Motor and frost<\/h2>\n

    Motors with frost protection such as the A-OK AM45 radio<\/a> stop when the curtain is frozen. What to do with ice: Roller shutter frozen<\/a>. Saving a ventilation position: Intermediate position<\/a>.<\/p>\n

    Awning in winter<\/h2>\n

    Awnings should stay retracted in winter. A wind sensor protects in the transitional season, see Awning with wind sensor<\/a>.<\/p>\n

    Frequently asked questions<\/h2>\n

    Do I need to service the motor in winter?<\/h3>\n

    Tubular motors are maintenance-free. But check bearings, adapters and end positions.<\/p>\n

    Does a closed roller shutter save heating costs in winter?<\/h3>\n

    Yes, at night it reduces heat loss at the window. More: Roller shutter motor power consumption<\/a>.<\/p>\n
