Field Adjustments
Each Draper Solar Control Shade is tested to ensure proper operation. Even with this testing, some field adjustments may be needed for telescoping.
If the shade is telescoping, place a piece of high quality gaffer tape about 1" 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.
Cleaning and Maintenance
Window covering products manufactured by Draper, when properly installed, should require no operational maintenance or lubrication.
Most of Draper’s standard 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 Flocké and Phifer SW7000 fabrics, which must be cleaned with a dry art sponge.

Important Safety Information
Important Safety Information
Child Safety Information
ANSI/WCMA A100.1-2018 standard
(developed by the Window Coverings Manufacturer’s Association and the Consumer Product Safety
Commission)
was established on December 15, 2018, to eliminate strangulation hazards for small children from hanging cords and chain loops.
When a Draper dealer specifies that custom shades comply with ANSI/WCMA A100.1-2018, Draper provides a pre-installed Spring-Loaded Chain
Tension Device
(shown at right)
for clutch-operated units. A warning label is attached to the kit and approved mechanical fasteners are included.
When properly installed, the tension device prevents the creation of a hazardous loop by maintaining tension on the bead chain. If not installed
properly, the shade is partially inoperable. A warning label
(shown below)
is also added to the shade roller.
For more information, please see Draper's ANSI/WCMA A100.1-2018 compliance page:
