collections for solar shading and depending on your selection, the values for heat protection and light permeability may vary.

• Do not hose at high pressure.

• Do not leave your ZipShade in a down position during high winds. Be
proactive and check weather forecasts and do not use your shade when high

Operation and Safety
Mechanical Safety
• Only use the system for its intended purpose.
• Any modication to the system requires the written permission of the
manufacturer.
• Never stand, climb on, or hang from the system.
• Use caution when opening the access panel on the screen housing.
• Never place your hand in moving parts and never place ngers between the
rails.
• Keep children away from proles, moving and/or hinged parts, etc.
• Maintain the ZipShade system at regular intervals and use only original
replacement parts.
• Clean the system regularly.
• It is normal for a small crease to form in the fabric: do not tense the fabric.
• Only use accessories and components developed by Rollac.
Safe Operation of the ZipShade (up and down)
• Keep obstacles clear of ZipShade path when being rolled up and down (e.g.
furniture, plant branches, etc.)
• Make sure that there are no twigs or leaves on the fabric.
• Stop screen immediately if something is blocking the movement of the Zip-
Shade.
• Do not operate and deploy ZipShades under high winds.
Electrical Safety (if applicable)
• Rollac ZipShade is operated by a 120VAC; 60Hz SOMFY tubular motor.
• Rollac ZipShade is controlled via a remote control or wall switch.
• Unplug device or switch off circuit-breaker before maintenance to prevent
electrocution.
• The motor may overheat if the system is operated multiple times in succession.
Wait 25 minutes before reuse.
• Keep all remote controls out of reach of children.
• Check the cables for damage at regular intervals.
• Electrical components may only be modied with the written permission of
the manufacturer.
• Only manufacturer approved electrical components such as wind & sun sensors
should be added to the system.
• If the motor cable is visible and installed outdoors, the cable needs to be pro-
tected by conduit for outdoor use.
Safe Electric Operation
• See enclosed technical manual (English version) for the particular motor type.
• Cease ZipShade operation if:
1. The motor makes a high-pitched noise and contact the installer.
2. The ZipShade does not roll fully up or down.
3. Do not touch the motor and contact your installer.
• If your ZipShade has an automatic controller (i.e. sun sensor), it is advisable
to turn them off in the following conditions:
1. In winter, as operating the ZipShade in frosty conditions could damage it.
2. If the operation is unsupervised.
3. If you are away from home.
Roll the ZipShade Down
• Roll down by turning the rod counter clockwise.
• Stop turning once the fabric is fully unrolled. If you continue turning, the fabric
will hang loose.
• If the fabric does hang loose, turn the rod in the opposite direction until the
fabric tenses itself.
Roll the ZipShade Up
• Turn the rod clockwise. The system has an end stop to prevent the fabric roll-
ing up incorrectly.
• Do not force the system once the bottom bar has touched the cassette.
• Do not use excessive pressure or make any jerky movements
• Stop turning once the end stop is reached or the fabric is no longer under
tension.

Maintaining your ZipShade
• If screen becomes wet in a sudden storm, roll the screen up and unroll it later to dry
when the weather improves.
• Avoid having the wet fabric rolled up more than three days to prevent forma-
tion of mold and spots.
• Before cleaning, remove any loose dirt with a brush or vacuum cleaner.
• Use a non caustic cleaning product and warm water to remove the remaining
dirt.
• Do not use aggressive abrasive cleaners or applicators.
• Always rinse the fabric after cleaning.
• Avoid cleaning in full sunlight: soapy water dries quickly and leaves spots on
the fabric.
• Crystal screen may only be cleaned with clean lukewarm water at 85°F.
• Do not use abrasive cleaners or applicators on anodized or enameled rails / box.
Your ZipShade is designed for years of care free enjoyment.
Use the following precautions to prolong the life of the entire system.
Important to Know
• Refrain from using high pressure equipment to clean your ZipShade.
• Swiveling or rotating parts should be lubricated annually. Use a dry PTFE
lubricant
• Use a dry PTFE lubricant to lubricate the inner rails annually
• After cleaning (remove twigs and leaves), plastic sliding sleeves can be lubri-
cated with a dry PTFE lubricant.
• Frequently inspect your system for twigs, leaves, bird nest, etc. and remove
them.
• Rollac recommends a technical inspection by your installer annually to maximize
your ZipShade’s performance.
• Always use original parts from the manufacturer for repairs.
Fabric and Hardware:
• Minor color variations may occur during the manufacturing process between the
color guides and the proles.
• There may also be minor color differences between components and proles.
• The fabric may exhibit slight color nuances and imperfections.
• Because the fabric is rolled up, it can form folds or creases.
• Fabrics that contain crystal windows can expand, shrink, or show folds or
creases caused by differences in temperature or fabric tension.
• Creases / folds of fabric can occur and are not covered by the warranty.
• Over time, the color of the fabric / crystal window may fade slightly, depending on
the chosen color and design.
• Milk stains or blue lines can appear on clear vinyl crystal windows due to
dew or moisture. These are inherent to the product and disappear when the
screen is dry.
Obstacle Detection Device: (Optional - inquire with your dealer)
• If your screen is motorized, it might be equipped with an obstacle detection
device. This device is a clutch that disengages and stops the motor when
the screen hits an obstacle to prevent back-roll and damaging of the screen.
• If the screen hits an obstacle, it takes a few seconds for the clutch to
disengage and stop the motor. Press the up button on your control to move
up the screen. Remove the obstacle and you can freely run the screen
downwards again.
• The obstacle detection device is an additional safety feature to prevent your
screen from being damaged. We highly recommend checking for obstacles
in the path of the screen before operating it as the obstacle detection device
only can prevent damage to the screen.
• Even if your system is equipped with an obstacle detection device, Rollac
cannot process a warranty claim in the case the shade get damaged due to
hitting / impact with an obstacle.
