Important Safety Information Important Safety Information
Improper installation and use of the FlexShade® NEXD can result in serious injury or death. Primarily, injuries can occur when the shade falls
due to imprecise installation, mishandling of the shade during installation or installation on an insufficient wall or ceiling structure. Please use
extreme care.
1.
Please read the following installation guidelines thoroughly and follow them
carefully. Failure to do so may cause product to fall or otherwise fail, and
could result in serious injury.
2.
Installation and calibration of the shade should only be performed by an
authorized, qualified, and experienced professional.
3.
Do not affix the unit to wall or ceilings that have inadequate strength to
permanently hold the unit during use. It is the owner’s and installer’s responsibility
to confirm the wall or ceiling to which the unit attaches is sufficient to
permanently hold the weight and stress loads of the unit at all times. Draper, Inc.,
is not responsible for improper installation, application, testing or workmanship
related to the product at place of installation.

8.
During testing or operation, carefully watch the surrounding area for any potential
safety concerns including nearby persons or objects.
9.
After installation, the entire system should be carefully tested to ensure safe and
normal operation. Extreme care should be taken during testing to remain clear of
moving par ts to avoid possible injury.
10.
Operation of shade should be performed only by authorized and qualified
personnel, who have been trained in the safe and effective operation of the shade

Shade may need to comply with local, state or district rules and regulations, in
particular when installed in schools. All applicable rules and regulations should
be reviewed before installation and use.

Child Safety Information
ANSI/WCMA A100.1-2018 standard (developed by the Window Coverings Manufacturer’s Association and the Consumer Product Safety
Commission) was established on December 15, 2018, to eliminate strangulation hazards for small children from hanging cords and chain loops.
When a Draper dealer specifies that custom shades comply with ANSI/WCMA A100.1-2018, Draper provides a pre-installed Spring-Loaded Chain
Tension Device (shown at right) for clutch-operated units. A warning label is attached to the kit and approved mechanical fasteners are included.
When properly installed, the tension device prevents the creation of a hazardous loop by maintaining tension on the bead chain. If not installed
properly, the shade is partially inoperable. A warning label (shown below) is also added to the shade roller.
For more information, please see Draper's ANSI/WCMA A100.1-2018 compliance page: www.draperinc.com/windowshades/wcmacompliance.aspx
Field Adjustments
Each Draper Solar Control Shade is tested to ensure proper operation. Even with this testing, some field 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 the
fabric will be 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 also may be cleaned by using a sponge or
soft cloth and mild solution of warm soapy water. A mild dishwashing liquid is recommended. A clean dry cloth is recommended for the metal finish.
Please Note: Exceptions are Flocké and Phifer SW7000 fabrics, which must be cleaned with a dry art sponge.
