WARNING: PLEASE REVIEW THIS DOCUMENT PRIOR TO OPERATING YOUR ZIPSCREEN.

During the transportation process, the fabric used for your Zipscreen™
tends to be tightly wrapped in order to keep it protected. This can cause
an unwanted rippling or wrinkling effect after it is installed.
To ensure rippling is ironed out, it is best to leave your Zipscreen
shades down for one to two days in clear weather, until the fabric is
fully settled.
LOWER YOUR SHADES
Grip the centre of the weight bar and guide the shade downwards, gently.
Operation from the centre is crucial to evenly distribute force and ensure
a smooth gliding shade. Always handle your Zipscreen from the centre of
the weight bar, and with two hands.
RAISE YOUR SHADES
Grip the centre of the weight bar and guide the shade upwards, gently.
Operation from the centre is crucial to evenly distribute force and
ensure a smooth gliding shade. Always handle your Zipscreen from
the centre of the weight bar, and with two hands. If your shade rolls
up unevenly, bring the shade down and then begin to raise it again,
ensuring both sides of the shade are moving smoothly and evenly.
DESIRED HEIGHT
Zipscreen outdoor shades can be left at any desired height. Simply lower or raise the shade to the desired level
and the shade will rest in the position set. To ensure longevity, never forcefully operate your outdoor shade
system. If you experience irregular jarring, refer to the ‘correct procedure’ section of this user guide or
see your retailer.

SYSTEMS WITH ULTRA-LOCK:
Pull the shade downwards until you hear one click. This indicates
your shade is now unlocked. Once unlocked, lift the weight bar
upwards to raise the shade.
SYSTEMS WITH ULTRA-LOCK:
Pull the shade downwards until you hear one click. This indicates your
shade is now locked. If you hear two clicks, the shade has travelled
too low and has unlocked. If so, raise the weight bar and lower it back
down to the first click.
PRE-OPERATION
SPRING CONTROL
All Zipscreen systems are built to operate smoothly and effortlessly. If it is proving to be difficult to lower or

ATTACH AND DETACH CRANK GEAR HANDLE
Hold the crank gear arm steadily and guide the tip of the
arm to the end of the coupling joint at the top of the
Zipscreen. Firmly push the arm into the coupling joint
until it securely clicks into place. To detach the arm,
simply pull the arm downwards, away from the coupling
joint. The arm will click and dislodge from the
coupling joint. Store the arm in a safe place until it needs
to be used again.
CRANK ARM SUPPORT
If a crank arm support is in use, unfold the arm and ensure the entire arm is straight. Firmly push the crank
arm into the support clip to secure it in place. When the crank arm needs to be used, simply pull the arm away
from the support to dislodge it from the grip of the support.
LOWER YOUR SHADES
Ensure the Crank arm is connected to the joining arm at the top of
the Zipscreen and is folded in an ‘L’ formation. Hold the top grip of the
crank arm in one hand and the bottom grip in the other, then rotate the
arm counterclockwise to lower the shade.
SYSTEMS WITH ULTRA-LOCK:
Allow the shade to move downwards until you hear one click.
This indicates your shade is now locked. If you hear two clicks,
then the shade has travelled too low and has unlocked. If so,
crank the arm in a clockwise direction to raise the shades and
then lower it back down until you hear the first click. Once
locked, crank the arm clockwise to tension your system’s fabric.
RAISE YOUR SHADES
Ensure the crank arm is connected to the joining arm at the top of the
Zipscreen and is folded in an ‘L’ formation. Hold the top grip of the crank arm
in one hand and the bottom grip in the other, then rotate the arm
clockwise to raise the shade.
SYSTEMS WITH ULTRA-LOCK:
Allow the shade to move downwards until you hear a click. This
indicates your shade is now unlocked. Once unlocked, crank the
arm in a clockwise direction to raise the shades.
DESIRED HEIGHT
Simply lower or raise the shade to the desired level and the shade will rest in the position set. To ensure lon-
gevity, never forcefully operate the system. If you experience irregular jarring, refer to the ‘support’ section of
this user guide or see your retailer if smooth operation is persistently unachieved.
CRANK GEAR CONTROL
All Zipscreen systems are built to operate smoothly and effortlessly. If it is proving to be difficult to lower
or raise your shade, through no fault of your own, please contact your Zipscreen retailer.

PUSH5 REMOTE CHANNELS
Channels allow the user to select which Zipscreen shade you would
like to control, if multiple systems are installed within the same
vicinity. Every channel is pre-programmed to control a designated
shade/s. To switch between channels, tap the channel number you
desire until a blue illuminated light appears next to the number. You
can also group channels together by subsequently pressing a
combination of numbers until they are illuminated. Alternatively, you
can control all your shades simultaneously by pushing the ‘All’ button.

PARADIGM 15 CHANNEL REMOTE CHANNELS
Channels allow the user to select which Zipscreen™ shade they’d like
to control in the event that multiple shades are installed within the
same vicinity. The Automate Paradigm remote control has the ability to
flick through 15 set channels. Channel ‘0’ allows you to take control of
all Zipscreen™ shades simultaneously, where each channel above ‘0’ is
pre-programmed to control a designated shade. To change the channel
displayed, press the ‘CH’ button, the number displayed will begin to
flash. When the number is flashing, press the up or down buttons to
flick through to your desired channel. Once the remote display’s the
number you desire, press the ‘CH’ button once more, to confirm the
selected channel. For details on which channels correspond to each of
your Zipscreen™ shades, please contact your installer.

LEVELLING CONTROL
The levelling control bar on the remote, can be used to visualise and
accurately set your preferred shade position. The LCD display will
show a levelling gauge on the left, this gauge represents the position
of your shades. Slide your finger up the leveling
control bar on the remote to raise the shade position or slide it down-
wards to move them down. The gauge displayed will track the move-
ment of your finger along the remote’s leveling control bar. Once you
are happy with the level being shown on the display, release your finger
from the remote and your Zipscreen™ will automatically move to the
position set. In the event that the remote is used to control a group of
shades, they will all perfectly align to the same position.

conditions change. The sensor automatically moves your system to prevent
damage and optimise the climate of your area. Increased sunshine will
trigger the shade to come down, while extreme wind, automatically raises
the shade, keeping your system protected. If your system is prematurely
being activated by the system, please contact your installer and suggest a
reprogramming of your sensor. The Automate Solar Sensor is the perfect
addition to any Zipscreen installation, ask your local retailer about how you
can get one in your home, today.

Do not leave the Zipscreen shade down when you are away from your home or in extreme
weather conditions.
Do not roll the Zipscreen shade up when wet (to avoid mould and mildew build up). If extreme
winds are present, roll up your Zipscreen and wait for the weather to settle, before attempting to
dry your shade again.
Do not force the Zipscreen shade up or down if it is jamming. Forcing the Zipscreen shade may
result in further damage (for example, the zip may be forced out of the side guide, or the fabric
may rip). Contact your Zipscreen supplier for guidelines of how to fix.
SAFETY & CARE
Do not lean persons or objects against the fabric, especially while the system is in motion.
Always ensure there are no obstructions while lowering the shade.
Do not operate spring controlled Zipscreen shadess from the sides - always use the Weight Bar
or Handle and pull.
Do not use a pressure hose to clean your Zipscreen.

Use a mild detergent and a soft brush or cloth to clean your Zipscreen system’s hardware when required. Never
use a pressure hose or harmful chemicals on your system. Always attend to dirt, animal droppings, and stains
as soon as possible, to prevent potential deterioration of your system. To maintain fabric cleanliness, please
refer to your retailer and find more information about the fabric used by your system.
CLEANING
To discuss warranty information, please contact your retailer. Zipscreen does offer a 5-year warranty to
suppliers on the system’s hardware. If you have any reason for concern, questions, replacements, claims and
servicing, please directly contact your retailer.
