Spring-balanced
Spring-balanced blinds allow you to easily lower or raise
the blind, with a sophisticated spring that supports the
weight of the blind. The blind should be hand-operated
from the centre of the bottom bar. This ensures the
material rolls evenly onto the top tube. The blind should
always glide smoothly and easily along the track.
Motorised
Motorised blinds are operated by utilising the remote control
provided and must be supervised while moving. Refer to the
remote control instructions for operating guidance. Motorised
blinds can not be hand-operated and doing so may
damage the blind. Unless your motorised blinds are solar
powered, they will not operate during a power outage.
PVC and Sunscreen Mesh blinds have
been rolled up for transportation. You may
need to leave the blinds down for several
days to allow the material to settle.
Ziptrak®blinds are easy and simple to use, providing a smooth glide for years of care-free operation.
If it is difficult to raise or lower your blind for no obvious reason, please contact your Ziptrak®retailer.
AFTER INSTALLATION
OPERATION
We recommend retracting the blind, then lowering.
To achieve the best appearance of your Sunscreen
Mesh or Clear PVC blinds, it is important that the
blind is partially retracted and then lowered to your
final desired height.
Ziptrak®blinds can be left at any height
Lightly push down bottom bar (1) to
release pressure whilst lifting handle (2).

Sunscreen Mesh Blinds:
Do not use bore water or allow bore
water springer systems to wet the blind. Never
allow petrochemicals or solvents to touch the blind.
Do not use a high pressure hose to clean the blind.
PVC Blinds:
Do not use window cleaning detergents to clean the PVC.
The PVC surface is highly sensitive to scratching
and marks. Always be cautious when cleaning,
operating or moving items around PVC blinds.
Ideally, use a soft, clean cloth to polish and dry the
PVC after cleaning and prior to rolling up the blind.
Do not use a high pressure hose to clean the blind.
Never allow bird droppings, dirt or stains to remain
on the PVC for long periods of time.
CLEANING
Ziptrak®blinds are trusted by thousands of Australian homes and businesses to provide
an enjoyable outdoor living space. The strong and robust system is commonly installed
throughout coastal regions and locations prone to high winds.
WINDY CONDITIONS
Moisture within the rolled up blind material may cause mould to form.
Avoid rolling up the blind when it is wet
Allow the blind to
dry before rolling
up the blind.
You may find Ziptrak®spring-balanced blinds are a
little tricky to operate during windy conditions due to
the pressure of the wind on the blind material. Use
your hand to push against the blind material to reduce
this pressure and then operate the blind.
Care must be taken when operating motorised
Ziptrak®blinds in windy conditions. They must be
supervised whilst raising and lowering at all times.
In windy conditions, blinds should be left down and
locked, or fully retracted – half way is the most
vulnerable position. When expecting or experiencing
very strong winds, a storm or a severe weatherevent,
your blinds should be fully retracted.
Installation is crucial to determining the performance
of your blind in wind. For further information, please
speak with your retailer, or visit the Ziptrak®website.
Ziptrak blinds should be cleaned regularly to remove the buildup of environmental residues.
It is recommended that blinds are washed down every 3 months. If you live in a coastal area,
your blinds should be washed more often to thoroughly remove sand, salt, dirt and moisture
deposits from all areas of the blind.
Mesh and PVC blind materials are not Ziptrak products.
Please speak with your retailer to receive complete care
instructions from the relevant Mesh or PVC manufacturer.
With correct cleaning and
maintenance, Ziptrak blinds
will look great and function
properly for years!

MAINTENANCE
In general, Ziptrak®blinds should not require additional lubrication by the owner. However, in dusty and
seafront locations, approximately once a year you may wish to add lubricant to assist in the continued
smooth operation of the blind. You must use silicone spray, such as food grade Helmar H4000
To apply, lower the blind all the way; evenly apply the spray in the groove between the spline and the track.
Do this for the front of the blind only, on both the left and right sides. After lubrication, open and close the
blind several times to evenly distribute the silicone spray within the track.
