Installation Instructions
Crank-Operated FlexShades by Draper
➀ Inspect all boxes to make sure you have received proper shades/parts.
Open cartons lengthwise.
➁ All endcaps, fascia, headboxes, pockets, wall clips, and other hardware
must be installed level. Shades must be level and square.
➂ There is no lower limit. Overcranking the shade past sill may cause
product to fall or otherwise fail, and invalidates warranty.
Please Note: If shade fabric is uneven, see “Field Adjustments” below.
➃ Please read the following installation guidelines thoroughly and
follow them carefully. Failure to do so may cause product to fall or
otherwise fail, and invalidates warranty.
Please Note: Custom products/installations may not be refl ected by this
document. Call Draper, Inc. if you have questions about your installation.
Crank-Operated FlexShades—Endcaps
➀ Mark wall, jamb or ceiling for placement of mounting endcaps.
Caution: Before mounting shades, verify measurements on the card
provided with the shade, and ensure the brackets are installed at the
correct width.
➁ Drill small starter hole (if necessary) in mounting surface.
➂ Mount endcaps using appropriate fasteners for surface (see Fig. 1 for
endcap dimensions). If this is a coupled unit, be sure to mount coupled
endcap in the center position. The installer is responsible for selecting
mounting hardware appropriate for site conditions.

Field Adjustments
Each Draper Solar Control Shade is tested to ensure proper operation.
Even with this testing, some fi eld adjustments may be needed for telescoping.
If the shade is telescoping, place a piece of high quality gaffer tape about 1"
wide on the exposed roller (where the fabric will cover it) on the side that you
want the fabric drawn toward. For example: if the fabric is tracking to the left,
place the tape on the right side.
Cleaning and Maintenance
Window covering products manufactured by Draper, when properly
installed, should require no operational maintenance or lubrication.
Most of Draper’s standard fabrics may be cleaned at the window by
vacuuming with a soft brush attachment. They may also be cleaned by using
a sponge or soft cloth and mild solution of warm soapy water. A dishwashing
liquid, such as Ivory liquid, is recommended. A clean dry cloth is recommended for the metal fi nish. Exceptions are Flocké, Roc-Rol, Obion and Phifer
SW7000 fabrics, which must be cleaned with a dry art sponge.
