WARNING
Improper installation and use of the Dual Roller Fascia Coupled FlexShade® can result in serious injury or death. Primarily, injuries can occur if the unit falls

authorized, qualified, and experienced professional. In particular, electrical work
and wiring [indicated in diagram by dashed lines] must be completed only by a
qualified professional electrician who has read this manual completely and is
familiar with the construction and operation of this equipment and the hazards
involved.
3. Do not affix the unit to wall or ceilings that have inadequate strength to
permanently hold the unit during use. It is the owner’s and installer’s
responsibility to confirm the wall or ceiling to which the unit attaches is
sufficient to permanently hold the weight and stress loads of the unit at all times.
Draper, Inc., is not responsible for improper installation, application, testing, or

personnel, who have been trained in the safe and effective operation of the unit
and understand its safety features.
15. The safety features of the unit , including sensors, should never be disabled,
bypassed, or overridden. The system should not be operated until all safety
features, including the sensors, are properly and completely installed,

PLEASE READ - Safety Information
PLEASE READ - 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" (25mm) wide on the
exposed roller (where the fabric will cover it) on the side
that the fabric will be drawn toward. For example: if
the fabric is tracking to the left, place the tape 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.
Please Note: Exceptions are GreenScreen Evolve, GreenScreen Revive, Flocké and Phifer SW7000
fabrics, which must be cleaned with a dry art sponge.

Section 2 - Idler-End and Operator End Assemblies
Please Note: The operator will already be installed in the operator-end roller; the sliding pin idler will also be installed in the idler-end roller. It is only necessary to
install the coupler assemblies.
Caution:
Section 1.1 - 2" (51 mm) Idler-End Assembly
Please Note: Notches in the tube need to be lined up with the "keys" on the
couplers.
1. Insert coupler assembly into roller. Ensure the notch in the tube is lined up with
the "key" on the coupler, and press until the assembly is fully seated in the roller.
Section 1.2 - 2" (51 mm) Operator-End Assembly
Please Note: Operator-end coupler assemblies will not slide straight in to the roller
tube.
1. Insert assembly into the roller, with the "key" slightly off center from the notch.
2. Once assembly is far enough in that the ribs are past end of the notch, rotate the
coupler until the notch is lined up with the "key" on the coupler.
Please Note: If the assembly will not fully seat in the roller, retract the shaft (if
applicable) and tap the assembly with a rubber mallet. Be careful not to damage the
coupler.
Section 1.3 - 3" (76 mm) Idler-End Assembly
Please Note: The retractable shaft needs to be pointing toward
the opposite end of the motor and oriented that direction for the whole
unit.
1. Insert coupler assembly adapter into roller. Making sure the notch in
the adapter is lined up with the notch in the coupler, press until the
adapter is fully seated in the roller.
2. Insert coupler assembly into adapter. Making sure the notch in the
inside of the adapter is lined up with the "key" on the coupler, press
until the assembly is fully seated.
Section 1.3 - 3" (76 mm) Operator-End Assembly
1. Follow the same steps used for the idler-end.
Please Note: If the assembly will not fully seat in the roller, retract the
shaft (if applicable) and tap the assembly with a rubber mallet. Be careful
not to damage the coupler.
• Ensure the locking ring on the idler-end coupler assembly
is fully tightened before installing roller into brackets.
There should be no play in the locking ring. If the locking
ring is loose, then the idler is in "height adjustment" mode.
• Wear a heavy glove on the hand
used to grip the locking ring.
• Tighten the locking ring until it is fully locked and it
cannot rotate any further. Ensure it is tight and will
not work loose. If locking ring cannot be tightened by
hand, use a flat screwdriver or other tool to assist.
