 Cleaning and Maintenance

Window covering products manufactured by Draper, when properly installed, should require no 
operational maintenance or lubrication.

Most standard Draper 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 GreenScreen Evolve

®

, GreenScreen Revive

®

, and Phifer

®

 SW7000 

fabrics, which must be cleaned with a dry art sponge.

 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 shimming 
fabric into the fabric roll when the shade is deployed 
on the side that the fabric will be drawn toward. For 
example: if the fabric is tracking to the left, place the 
shimming fabric on the right side.

 WARNING

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 unit should only be performed by an 

authorized, qualified, and experienced professional. In particular, electrical

completely and is familiar with the construction and operation of this 

equipment and the hazards involved. 

3. 

Do not affix the unit to wall or ceilings that have inadequate strength to

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
