Porta-Fold Instructions

For a finished, professional appearance, Porta-Fold
screens can be dramatically enhanced with the Drapery
Presentation Accessory Kit. Handsome velour drapes in a
choice of two eye-catching colors surround the screen on
four sides, providing an attractive stage front to the
audience.

The Presentation Drapery Accessory Kit serves a second
function when used with a rear projection surface. It
shields extraneous light from the projector as well as
hiding projection and other equipment from the audience.

An optional Adjustable Skirt Bar provides a versatile
method of changing the picture ratio.

The hardware in the kit is made of lightweight aluminum
and, along with the folded velour drapes, is packed into a
convenient easy to carry poly case. The entire kit can be
set up in minutes. Case optional at additional cost.

Presentation Drapery Accessory Kit

(ILLUSTRATED)

Consists of a set of velour drapes in choice of Blue or
Black, Valance, two Wings, Skirt, Valance Bar, and two
Wing Bars.

• All bars attach to screen frame with slip on clamps.
No tools needed.

• Valance Bar attaches to frame first. Wing Bars then attach to
Valance Bar.

• Valance Bar extends 12" above frame. Wing Bars extend 32" on
each side.

• Wing Bars attach to frame when ceiling height prevents use of
Valance.

• 45" High Skirt snaps to bottom of screen or to optional
Adjustable Skirt Bar.

When folding the screen material for packing, observe the following
precautions before proceeding:

1. The surface should not be allowed to contact painted,
varnished or plastic finished objects for a prolonged period of
time.

2. Make certain the picture surface is on a clean, flat surface.

Then proceed in the following manner:
Place clean white tissue paper – with no printing – on top of the
picture surface. If tissue is not available, a soft white cloth or
something similar will serve the same purpose. Under no conditions
should newspaper or anything similar be used since these may
damage the screen material.

1. With the viewing side facing up, fold the fabric in half from top
to bottom. Make certain when folding that the surface does not
come in contact with either the black binding, grommets or
snap buttons.

2. If the material on the first fold is more than 3 feet high, then
fold once again, but always place clean tissue paper between
the folds.

3. For large size screens, fold in half again if necessary. Make
certain when folding that the surface does not come in contact
with either the black binding, grommets or snap buttons.

4. After the top to bottom folding procedure is completed, then
fold from left to right and continue folding until the fabric is of
sufficient size to fit into the leatherette case.

NOTE: Keep the screen surface in the envelope provided when it is

not in use. Failure to observe these normal precautions may
cause discoloration of the material.

CLEANING

Using a white clean cloth (100% cotton preferred) that is
dampened with clear water. Gently wipe the area in one
direction. Do not use a circular motion. Using a dry 100% cotton cloth.
Wipe dry after each cleaning session. To clean a stubborn stain or a
sticky surface, use denatured alcohol (methanol or methyl alcohol)
following the same procedure as for water. For extremely stubborn
stains, use V M & P, Naphtha or Super Naphtha and follow the same
procedure as for water.
