DAY/NIGHTER PLEATED
WINDOW SHADES
Your coach may feature two-stage pleated
window shades that can be used for daytime or
nighttime privacy.
Sun Filter
The first, lower section is a translucent white
shade that can be lowered for privacy without
darkening the inside of the coach. It can also filter
out harsh direct sunlight to help keep the inside of
the coach cool in summer or to disperse light for
houseplants.
Room Darkening/Privacy Shade
The second, upper section is an opaque, dark-
ening shade for nighttime privacy and daytime
room darkening purposes. Pull both the first and
second sections down together or separately.
Tension Adjustment
The tension of the pleated shades can be ad-
justed if they become loose and will not stay up
when raised, or they are too tight and are difficult
to raise and lower.
To tighten the tension
, simply wrap the lower
end of the guide cords (on each side of the shade)
a few turns around the spools at the lower corners
of the shades.
To loosen the tension
, unwrap the guide cords
from the spools one turn at a time until desired
tension is achieved.
Preserving Shape:
The pleated blinds are made using high quali-
ty materials that are designed and woven to retain
their shape throughout their useful life. They may
lose their crisp shape, however, if left in a low-
ered position for an extended period of time with-
out being raised periodically. If this happens, the
pleats can be restored using this simple method.
•
With the blind fully lowered, dampen the
entire area of the pleats with a good quality
laundry sizing spray.
•
Raise the blind fully while still damp and let
it remain in the raised position for about 24
hours, until the sizing has dried and “set”.
•
Reapply sizing periodically (every few
months) as needed.
WINDOW ROLL-UP SHADE
ADJUSTMENT
If a roll-up type window shade in your motor
home does not roll up or down fully, the spring
tension may need adjustment.
Spring Too Weak:
−
Roll shade about half-way down on window.
−
Remove shade from bracket.
−
Roll shade snugly by hand and replace onto
bracket.
Spring Too Strong:
−
Roll shade all the way up.
−
Remove shade from bracket.
−
Unroll shade one or two turns as necessary by
hand and replace onto bracket.
