 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 shimming 
fabric into the fabric roll when the shade is deployed 
on the side that the fabric will be drawn toward. For 
example: if the fabric is tracking to the left, place the 
shimming fabric on the right side.

PLEASE READ -

 Cleaning and Maintenance

Window covering products manufactured by Draper, when properly installed, should require no 
operational maintenance or lubrication.

Most standard Draper fabrics may be cleaned at the window by vacuuming with a soft brush 
attachment. They also may be cleaned by using a sponge or soft cloth and mild solution of warm soapy 
water. A mild dishwashing liquid is recommended. A clean dry cloth is recommended for the metal finish.
