If you encounter any difficulties installing or servicing your
FlexShade Zip
, call your
dealer or Draper, Inc. in Spiceland, Indiana, 765-987-7999, or fax 765-987-7142.
Caution
1
Inspect all boxes to make sure you have received the proper parts.
2
Open cartons lengthwise.
3
All hardware must be installed level. Shades must be level and square.
4
Fasteners are not supplied by Draper. It is the responsibility of installer to
make sure that appropriate ones for the mounting surface are used. For Jamb
Mounting, Draper recommends the use of low profile head screws to allow the
"zippers" to easily pass through the Side Channels.
5
For installing units in recessed areas where there isn't room to mount the
Headbox to the Side Channels, please see note on page two.
6
FlexShade Zip is designed to operate only when the fabric panel is installed
vertically, perpendicular to the ground. Angled installations, where the side
channels are NOT installed vertically, may prevent the unit from closing.
7
DO NOT run down shade cloth outside of the Side Channels.
8
Please read the following installation guidelines thoroughly and follow
them carefully. Failure to do so may cause product to fall or otherwise
fail, and invalidates warranty.

Preparation for Installation
1
Make sure mounting surface is strong enough to hold the FlexShade Zip.
Please Note:
It is the responsibility of installer to
use appropriate fasteners for the mounting surface.
2
Verify unit measurements, and make sure it will
fit in the desired location.
Please Note:
The Hembar
does not
retract into
the Headbox. This will need to be accounted for
if mounting over a swinging window or door.
3
Mounting brackets MUST be installed with a gap
of 1¾" (45mm) between the End Cap
and the Mounting Bracket edge (See Fig. 1).
Mark wall, jamb or ceiling.
