Side-to-Side Mounting—
For applications where several windows are separated by narrow mullions, Draper
clutch-operated Manual FlexShades can be mounted side-to-side by sharing brackets.
For mounting several shades in a row, clutch brackets are designed to allow the idler of
one shade to be held in place on one side, and the clutch end of a second shade to be
held in place on the other side.
Troubleshooting—
Fabric uneven:
If shade fabric is coming off the roller unevenly (one end lower than the other), unroll
shade until the roller is exposed. Place a piece of tape on the exposed roller (where
fabric will cover it), on side that is running low.
➁Remove face cover from headbox by pulling down and out on the bottom edge of
cover near end caps. It will snap off (see Fig. 6). For pocket style headbox, remove
screws at endcaps. The bottom of the cover box snaps down and off at endcaps,
then slides out of slot in cover box (see Fig. 10).
➂Remove roller assembly from headbox. Remove the black plastic retainer clip from
idler end of roller and save. Lift idler out of the bracket and slide pin (to the limit of its
travel) into the gudgeon assembly to facilitate removal of the roller assembly.
Remove the roller assembly from the headbox.
➃Install head box assembly using appropriate fasteners. For wall/ceiling mount, used
pre-drilled holes in end caps, then drill through cover for wall/ceiling mount. For jamb
mount, there are no pre-drilled holes. Drill through endcaps and attach. Replace
roller and face cover. (For Bead Chain, make sure chain passes through two rear-
most exit slots. Attach stop balls to set upper and lower travel limits—see Fig. 3,
page 1.)
Please Note:
Crank operated
FlexShades do not
have stops; if crank
operated FlexShades
are lowered too far,
fabric can come loose
from the roller.
