Intended use
The external roller blind is intended for external use on sky-
lights and protects against heat.
It may only be installed and used on the Roto skylight types
designed for their use.
The external roller blind reflects and absorbs a large portion
of heat radiation, but does not offer full heat protection (in a
physical sense).
Do not place additional strain, such as that from suspended
objects, on the external roller blind as this may damage the
product.
No alterations, additions, conversions or maintenance work
other than the activities described here are to be carried out
on the product without the written approval of Roto.

or sponges, or solvents (such as alcohol or benzene).
For a long product life, we recommend the following:
• Carefully brush off the roller blind fabric at least once a
year.
• Ensure that foreign objects (e.g. leaves, small branches)
are not rolled up in the external roller blind when opening.
• At least once a year, check that the external roller blind is
operating properly.
• Have any damage repaired by a qualified specialist as soon
as you can.
Retightening the spring mechanism
(Figure B3-B4)
The spring mechanism can lose its tension after extended
use and prevent the external roller blind from functioning
properly.
If the roller blind fabric winds up without tension when ope-
ned, the spring mechanism should be retightened.
