5. Modality of use
6. Maintenance
The rotary motion transmission to the roller, that allows to wind
up and to unroll the net/fabric, may be produced by a mechanical
movement performed by the winch (for visible versions only) or
by a motor connected to the mains supply (recessed and visible
versions).
In case of movement produced by the winch, the user must hold
the winch handle and must transmit a rotary movement to the
arm, in order to unroll the net/fabric. The opposite rotary move -
ment allows to wind up the net/fabric on the roller.
In case of movement produced by the electric motor, the user must
push the up/down buttons that are on the wall control panel (wall
control) or he must use the remote control.
When the net/fabric is totally unrolled, “K.Zip” blind can be put
in traction (if the model allows it) through two different mecha-
nisms:
- “Quick Lock” system: This system automatically locks the termi-
nal to the floor by using a device that is installed inside the guides.
In case the system is activated using the winch, the user must bring
the terminal to the lower end position and, successively, he must
slightly lift it up to the lock activation. If it is activated using the
motor, the proper sequence of movements is automatically issued
by the motor.
- lock system through latches: It is a manual lock device. A metal
latch is inserted inside a casing in the guide, when the net or fabric
is fully unrolled. Successively, a slight fabric/net wind up allows
to put it in traction.
6.1 Ordinary maintenance
Ordinary maintenance operations may be performed by the final
customer and are limited to the net cleaning, to remove the dirt
and to avoid the formation of mould. The cleaning operation
must be performed with a sponge or a wet cloth and tepid water.
A neutral detergent may be used as well (avoid aggressive deter-
gents, alcohol or similar).
Do not lubricate any blind component to avoid the risk of stain
the fabric irreparably and/or to damage the zip and the side slide
guides.
In case “Quick Lock” system is installed, the coupling between the
terminal and the lock system may occur on one end only, preven
-
ting proper functioning. To restore the functionality, please follow
the procedure specified below:
- Slightly lift the unlocked side of the terminal manually and in-
sert a wedge under it in order to prevent the terminal end to go
down under the foot inside the guide (see the following picture);
- Move the blind (with the winch or the motor) to allow the ter-
minal locked side to complete the unhooking procedure from the
Quick Lock;
- Then lift the blind to remove the gap with the other end and take
the handle back to the horizontal position.
- Remove the wedge. The blind is reactivated for its normal use.
