Tension Adjustment:
Tension should be adjusted if the shades are
loose or there is excessive vibration. A button
is located on the bottom of the shade at each
end. Two lines on each side of the shade are
threaded through the button and tied off.
Pull the tied-off lines through the
button to increase tension. Leave some
slack so the shades are not too tight.
Tie the lines off at the new position.
Adjust each side equally.
Operate the shades to ensure tension is
set correctly and equally on both sides.
Trim excess line from both sides if
desired.
Dusting:
Vacuum with a brush attachment or use a
dusting tool on a regular basis.
Cleaning:
A dry foam cleaner may be used for soil
and dirt removal. Follow all directions on the
container or use a cleaning solution of ¼ oz.
clear liquid soap to 8 oz. water.
NOTE:
Do not use colored liquid soap as a
stain may appear when fabric dries.

What is Mold?
Mold is a type of fungus that occurs
naturally in the environment and can leave a
musty odor, discolor fabrics, stain surfaces and
cause considerable damage to the recreational
vehicle.
What Does Mold Need to Grow?
Mold requires a food source to grow, such
as grease or soil. Synthetic fabrics, such as
acetate, polyester, acrylic and nylon, are
mildew resistant, but soil on the surface
of these fabrics are susceptible to mold.
Temperate climate and moisture also help
to cultivate mold growth. Moisture in the
recreational vehicle can result from unattended
spills, leaks, overflows, and condensation.
Moisture allowed to remain on a growth
medium can develop mold within 24 to 48
hours. Minimizing moisture inside of the
recreational vehicle can reduce or eliminate
favorable mold growth conditions. Good
housekeeping and regular maintenance are
essential in the effort to prevent or eliminate
mold growth.
Consequences of Mold:
All mold is not necessarily harmful, but
certain strains of mold have been shown
to cause, in susceptible persons, allergic
reactions, including skin irritation, watery
eyes, runny noise, coughing, sneezing,
congestion, sore throat and headache.
Individuals with suppressed immune systems
may risk infections. Some experts contend
that mold causes serious symptoms and
disease which may even be life threatening.
However, experts disagree about the level of
mold exposure that may cause health problems
and about the exact nature and extent of the
health problems that may be caused by mold.
Moreover, the Center for Disease Control
states that a casual link between the presence
of toxic mold and serious health conditions has
not been proven.
Standards or threshold limit values for
concentration of mold or mold spores have
not been set. Currently, there are no EPA
regulations or standards for airborne mold
contaminants. There is simply no practical way
to eliminate all mold and mold spores in the
indoor environment.
For example, studies have shown that ozone
cleaners are not effective at killing airborne
mold or surface mold contamination.
Controlling Mold Growth:
The recreational vehicle owner should
eliminate mold growth in the recreational
vehicle. Take the following steps to eliminate
mold growth in the recreational vehicle.
Carefully examine items for signs
of mold before loading them in the
recreational vehicle. Potted plants
(roots and soil), furnishings, clothing
and linens, as well as many other
household items, may contain mold.
Regular vacuuming and cleaning will
help reduce mold levels. Mild bleach
solutions and most tile cleaners are
effective in eliminating or preventing
mold growth.
