💧 Overview
If you notice water leaking from the hand crank area of your Hansø Pro+ Pergola, this guide will walk you through how to safely inspect, seal, and reassemble the crank mechanism using a grommet and waterproof adhesive.
🛠️ Repair Instructions
1. Remove the Top Plate
Using a Stanley knife, carefully lift the small plate directly above the hand crank pivot.
Be gentle to avoid scratching the surface.
2. Remove Side Screws
With a star-bit drill, remove the two screws from the side panel near the crank.
Set the screws aside for reassembly.
3. Detach the Gear Mechanism
Locate the gear pin extending from the pergola.
Use the same star-bit drill to remove the screw on this pin.
Manually operate the louvers open and closed to confirm movement.
Lift the metal rod and extract the rotating gear mechanism.
4. Insert and Seal the Grommet
Insert the rubber grommet into the outer hole where the leak occurs.
Apply adhesive inside the hole before inserting the grommet.
Once in place, coat the outer edges of the grommet with a layer of waterproof glue or sealant to create a watertight barrier.
5. Reassemble the Crank Mechanism
After all components are correctly aligned, reinsert the rotating mechanism back into position.
Reattach the screws and top plate, ensuring everything is tight and properly sealed.
Test the crank to confirm smooth operation and no leakage.
⚠️ Tips & Notes
Allow sealant or glue to fully cure before exposing the area to rain.
Use only outdoor-grade waterproof adhesive for longevity.
