PLEASE READ -

 Safety Information

 WARNING   

Improper installation and use of the Dual Roller Clutch-Operated FlexShade

®

 can result in serious injury or death. Primarily, injuries can occur if the unit 

falls due to imprecise installation, mishandling of the shade during installation, or installation on an insufficient wall or ceiling structure.  

Please use extreme care.
1. 

Please read the following installation guidelines thoroughly and follow them 

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 

responsibility to confirm the wall or ceiling to which the unit attaches is 

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.

5. 

All brackets, fascia, headboxes, pockets, wall clips, and other hardware must be 

installed level. Shade unit must be level and square.

6. 

Never leave the area while operating the shade during installation, maintenance, 

or normal operation, unless it is secure and safe.

7. 

Before testing or operation, carefully inspect the entire area and path of the 

shade and areas underneath the shade to be sure no persons or objects are in 

the area.

8. 

During testing or operation, carefully watch the surrounding area for any 

potential safety concerns including nearby persons or objects.

9. 

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.

10. 

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.

11. 

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.

12. 

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.

13. 

Failure to precisely follow installation guidelines invalidates all warranties.

14.

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 the ANSI/WCMA A100.1-2018 compliance page:

PLEASE READ -

 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" 

(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 -
