Important Safety Information Important Safety Information
Improper installation and use of Techmatic Window Shades can result in serious injury or death. Primarily, injuries can occur if the unit 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.
4.
It is the installer’s responsibility to make sure appropriate fasteners are used
for mounting.
5.
All brackets, fascia, headboxes, pockets, wall clips, and other hardware must
be installed level. Shade unit must be level and square.
6.
Never leave the area while operating the shade during installation,
maintenance, or normal operation, unless it is secure and safe.
7.
Before testing or operation, carefully inspect the entire area and path of the
shade and areas underneath the shade to be sure no persons or objects are in
the area.
WARNING
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 parts 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 and understand its safety features.
11.
The safety features of the shade should never be disabled, bypassed, or
overridden. The system should not be operated until all safety features are
properly and completely installed, calibrated, and tested.
12.
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.
13.
Failure to precisely follow installation guidelines invalidates all warranties.
14.
Custom products/installations may not be reflected in this manual. Call Draper,
Inc., if you have questions regarding your installation.
Before Beginning Installation
1.
Look for any job site conditions that could interfere with installation or operation
of the system.

related operations manuals. These instructions are intended to serve as a guide
for the installer and owner. They should be followed closely and combined with
the expertise of experienced qualified installers. Draper, Inc., is not responsible
for improper installation, application, testing, or workmanship related to the
product at place of installation. Please retain all instructions for future use.
3.
Open cartons lengthwise.
4.
Locate and lay out all pieces.
5.
Inspect all boxes to make sure you have received the proper shade and parts.
Controls may be shipped separately, or in same carton as shade.
6.
If you have any difficulties with installing, servicing, or operating your shade,
call your dealer or Draper, Inc., 765-987-7999.
Child Safety Information
ANSI/WCMA A100.1-2018 standard
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
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
For more information, please see the Draper ANSI/WCMA A100.1-2018 compliance page: www.draperinc.com/windowshades/wcmacompliance.aspx
(shown at right)
PLEASE READ - 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"
exposed roller
that the fabric will be drawn toward. For example: if
the fabric is tracking to the left, place the tape on the
right side.
(where the fabric will cover it)
(developed by the Window Coverings Manufacturer’s Association and the Consumer Product Safety Commission)
for clutch-operated units. A warning label is attached to the kit and approved mechanical fasteners are included.
(shown below)
is also added to the shade roller.
PLEASE READ - Cleaning and Maintenance
Window covering products manufactured by Draper, when properly installed, should require no
operational maintenance or lubrication.
Most standard Draper 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
(25mm)
wide on the
on the side
water. A mild dishwashing liquid is recommended. A clean dr y cloth is recommended for the metal finish.
Please Note: Exceptions are GreenScreen Evolve®, GreenScreen Revive®, Flocké®, and Phifer®
SW7000 fabrics, which must be cleaned with a dry art sponge.
