WARNING
Improper installation and use of the Cordless FlexShade®can result in serious injury or death. Primarily, injuries can occur if the unit falls due to imprecise

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

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.

of the shade and areas underneath the shade to be sure no persons
or objects are in the area.
7. During testing or operation, carefully watch the surrounding area for any
potential safety concerns including nearby persons or objects.
8. 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.
9. 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.
10. 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.
11. 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.
12. Failure to precisely follow installation guidelines invalidates all warranties.

PLEASE READ - Field Adjustments
Each Draper Solar Control Shade is tested to ensure

adjustments may be needed for telescoping.
If the shade is telescoping, place a piece of high
quality gaffer tape about 1" (25mm) 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.
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
water. A mild dishwashing liquid is recommended. A clean dry 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. (Flocké®is a registered trademark of Mermet®USA.
