RETRACTING YOUR EXTERIOR BLIND
To retract the blind, remove the screws locating
the base rail to the brackets. In one smooth
movement, pull down the base rail a short
distance and then lift upward, keeping the
Exterior Blind moving until it reaches the desired
height. Avoid letting the Exterior Blind spin
upwards without holding it (damage may occur to
the spring mechanism). This may happen if there
is too much spring tension. Too much tension
may cause the spring mechanism to rapidly grab
and lock. If this is a problem, try reducing the
tension slightly. Correct tension should have the
Exterior Blind retracting all the way to the top
and with enough tension left to snugly hold the
base rail against the top roll of fabric.
IMPORTANT:
For the Exterior Blind to operate correctly:
• Mounting brackets must be horizontally level.
• The flat pin on the LEFT end of the headrail
must be installed vertically.
• The Exterior Blind should be installed so that
the fabric rolls down between the headrail
and the window.
• The Exterior Blind must be pulled from the
centre of the base rail – not from the side.
• Do not store shade wet. In areas of high
humidity, roll shade down frequently to air dry.
CARE INSTRUCTIONS:
Your Exterior Blind may be cleaned using a
solution of mild detergent and water. Apply the
solution with a sponge or a very soft brush. Let
the solution stand on the fabric for 10 minutes
and then rinse thoroughly with water. Do not
put the fabric in your washing machine, clothes
drier, or scrub it with a stiff brush, scouring pad
or abrasive cleaner.

CAUTION: DO NOT OVER TENSION
YOUR EXTERIOR BLIND
Follow tensioning instructions carefully.
Contact Gale Pacific Limited prior to
installation if advice is required. When new,
the Exterior Blind may lift unevenly, leaving
the base rail at an angle. This is due to the
hem on one side rolling up tighter than the
other side, and may occur if the base rail is
not lifted from the centre. A slight increase in
spring tension may help overcome this, or try
pulling the shade down and lifting the base
rail a little closer to the lowest side.
