APPENDIX
CLEANING, MAINTENANCE, AND TENSION ADJUSTMENT INSTRUCTIONS
THE R•O•M ROLL-UP SHUTTER DOOR IS MADE OF ANODIZED ALUMINUM
Anodized aluminum is extremely hard and resistant to abrasion. Anodized aluminum can retain its
original
appearance indefinitely if you follow a sound cleaning and maintenance program. All
surfaces are likely
to collect dirt and pollutants over time. In some parts of the country, this soiling happens rather quickly
due to the level of pollution and proximity to humid coastal regions. With frequent cycles of condensation
and drying as experienced in a humid coastal region, salts and pollutants build up very quickly on exterior
surfaces. Contamination in recessed areas that are not exposed to the washing effects of rains also builds
up more quickly. These soils can become more and more concentrated as they go through cycles of re-
wetting and drying. Eventually mild acid pollutants become harsh acid pollutants. These strong acids can
attack aluminum causing a pitting type of corrosion. It is important to begin a cleaning maintenance
program as soon as you receive your vehicle to prevent soil build-up.
I. CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
The R•O•M Roll-up Shutter Door needs very little maintenance, and cleaning is very simple. To wash
the anodized shutter slats, use a mix of water and mild soap or detergent with a PH range between 6
and 9, such as Ivory Liquid, Joy, Lux Liquid, or Dove Liquid. This should be performed without the aid
of a high-pressure sprayer.
A 50/50 isopropyl alcohol and water mixture is recommended for cleaning anodized slats prior to
applying decals and for cleaning the weather-stripping (bulb seal).
If your R•O•M Shutter has been finished with a polyurethane solvent-based paint, then it needs to be
cured according to the paint manufacturers recommendation. All solvent-based paints require several
weeks to fully cure and harden depending on temperature and humidity. All washing should be
performed using a mix of water and mild soap or detergent, without the aid of a high-pressure sprayer.
The tracks should be frequently cleaned to get the best performance and longest life. To clean the
track use a mild soap and water to remove any dirt or grime build-up. Spraying the tracks with dry
(non-petroleum based) silicone is recommended; this will enhance the smooth opening and closing of
the shutter. Do not use any type of petroleum-based lubricant in the tracks, this only attracts dirt and
grime and creates an abrasive surface, making it hard to operate the door thus shortening the life of
the shutter.
The lift bar should move freely when pulled out and when released should snap back to its rest position.
