Shade Fabric/Roller Mounting1 Snap end covers onto endcaps (see Fig. 4).2 Carefully work the operator (open) end of the roller onto the bead chain clutch (see Fig. 4). Then, following the dashed line in Fig. 4, slide the idler end pin up through the slot on the bottom of the idler endcap, around and into the seat for the pin.

Warning For the Safety of Young Children

Young children can STRANGLE in cord and bead chain loops. They can also wrap cords around their necks and STRANGLE. • Always keep cords and bead chains out of children’s reach. • Move cribs, playpens, and other furniture away from cords and bead chains. Children can climb furniture to get to cords. • Attach tension device to wall or floor. This can prevent children from pulling cords and bead chains around their necks. Fasteners provided with the tension device may not be appropriate for all mounting sur- faces. Use appropriate anchors for the mounting surface conditions (see instructions on page 2).

7 If you haven't already, make sure that all mounting hardware is secure and fully tightened.8 Set upper and lower travel limits by installing stop balls to bead chain (crimp closed using pliers) (see Fig. 7).

Tube indentations must be aligned with the FLAT sides of the

clutch sprocket.

CAUTION: Do not allow the shade roller to become exposed by running the shade fabric too far down. Be sure to use the stop balls provided in hardware packet by Draper to set the up and down travel limits. Stop balls by others may be too small, and become lodged in the clutch mechanism. Please Note: If shade fabric is uneven, see “Field Adjustments” below.

1 Draper Bead Chain Clutch Operated shades that do not comply with WMCA/ANSI Standard A100.1-2012 come with a cord tension device pre- attached to bead chain (see Fig. 8). This device must be attached to wall, jamb or sill so that the bead chain is held taut enough that children cannot pull it away from the wall or fit their head into the loop. See safety note on page 1.

Spring-Loaded Cord Tension Device If your Draper Clutch FlexShade complies with WMCA/ANSI Standard A100.1-2012, a Spring-Loaded Cord tension device comes installed on bead chain (see Fig. 9). An approved permanent warning label is attached, and approved mechanical fasteners (wood screws) are included. Install cord ten-sion device to wall, jamb or sill. To install, pull tensioner down so that the bead chain is held taut and use the mounting hardware to keep it taut. The bead chain should be taut enough so it will move smoothly through the device. If there is not enough tension, the device will not allow the bead chain to pass through and operate the shade. This device is designed so that children can-not pull the bead chain away from the wall or fit their head into the loop. See safety note on page 1. The installer is responsible for selecting mount-ing hardware appropriate for site conditions. For more information, visit: http://www.draperinc.com/WindowShades/WCMAcompliance.asp.Attaching to Wood or Metal1 For attaching to wood, two #8-18 x 1.5" Zinc HWH TEK Type AB wood screws are provided. For attaching to metal, choose fasteners with a mini- mum fastener manufacturer-rated or tested release force of 20 lb (89 N), and make sure they are long enough for the threads to catch and hold.2 Mark mounting hole locations with a pencil.3 Drill pilot holes smaller than the screw size.4 Pass screws through the Spring Loaded Tension Device. Turn the screws into the pilot hole, starting by hand.Please Note: Tighten screws so that the Spring Loaded Tension Device maintains enough tension on the bead chain for shade to operate without working loose, but not tight enough that the Spring Loaded Tension Device is damaged by overtightened screws.

Slide

If you don't have spring-assist, skip on to step 7. For Spring Assist: Caution: The operator MUST BE installed as the unit was ordered when the spring-assist is used. The spring-assist will only work in the orientation provided with the order. For example, a unit ordered with a right-hand operator in the “standard-roll” orientation will only work in the left-hand idler position with the standard-roll orientation. The unit will not operate correctly if the installer attempts to change the operator location or roll direction.3 Remove Safety Screw from top idler endcap, then remove the slide (you will need this again later) (see Fig. 5).

4 Slip notches on operator end into other endcap, then press down to lock in place (see Fig. 6). Swing the idler end into place. Slide the idler end spear up into the receiver. You may need to compress the spring-loaded spear.

Figure 65 Replace Slide and Safety Screw. Place into groove at an angle, slide up, and make sure the bottom of the slide is hooked into the Receiver (see Fig. 5).6 The Spear Retaining Clip must be installed around the idler-end shaft as shown in Figure 6 to prevent the roller assembly from moving left or right during operation.

Attaching Fascia1 Place groove along top of fascia over endcaps, and snap into place (see Fig. 10). Fascia is not fully seated until it clicks into place on both ends. Once in place, check for secure fit.

Mounting in HeadboxCaution: Before mounting shades, verify measurements on the card

provided with the shade, and ensure the unit is installed at the correct width. Snap endcap covers onto endcaps.➁ Place endcaps into back/top portion of wall/ceiling headbox or into pocket extrusion of pocket headbox. Using pre-drilled holes in endcaps, mark the headbox for drilling.➂ Drill holes in top of headbox.➃ Attach endcaps and headbox back/top or pocket headbox extrusion to ceil- ing or pocket using mounting hardware appropriate for site conditions. The installer is responsible for selecting mounting hardware appropriate for site conditions.➄ Install shade (see "Shade Fabric/Roller mounting" section above).➅ Attach headbox fascia or closure (see Fig. 11). Note on fascia style headbox: Surface Headbox fascia is not fully seated until it clicks into place on both ends. Once in place, check for secure fit. If not secure, secure with appropriate fastener (not included).

Installation through Drywall1 Make sure that screws are long enough for the threads to catch and hold joist or stud.2 Locate the stud and mark it with a pencil.3 Mark mounting hole locations.Please note: If you are unable to mount on a stud, use Molly Bolts or Toggle Bolts. The fasteners shall have a minimum fastener manufacturer-rated or tested release force of 20 lb (89 N).4 Drill shallow pilot holes smaller than the screw size.5 Pass screws through the Spring Loaded Tension Device. Turn the screws into the pilot hole, starting by hand. The fasteners shall have a minimum fastener manufacturer-rated or tested release force of 20 lb (89 N).Please Note: Tighten screws so that the Spring Loaded Tension Device maintains enough tension on the bead chain for shade to operate without working loose, but not tight enough that the Spring Loaded Tension Device is damaged by overtightened screws.

Field Adjustments Each Draper Solar Control Shade is tested to ensure proper operation. Even with this testing, some field adjustments may be needed for telescoping. If the shade is telescoping, place a piece of high quality gaffer tape about 1" wide on the exposed roller (where the fabric will cover it) on the side that you want the fabric drawn toward. For example: if the fabric is tracking to the left, place the tape on the right side.

Cleaning and Maintenance Window covering products manufactured by Draper, when properly in-stalled, should require no operational maintenance or lubrication. Most of Draper’s standard fabrics may be cleaned at the window by vacuuming with a soft brush attachment. They may also be cleaned by using a sponge or soft cloth and mild solution of warm soapy water. A dishwashing liquid, such as Ivory liquid, is recommended. A clean dry cloth is recommend-ed for the metal finish. Exceptions are Flocké, Roc-Rol, and Phifer SW7000 fabrics, which must be cleaned with a dry art sponge.
