OPERATING AND MAINTAINING YOUR SHADE
• Operation of the shade systems should only be completed by qualified person(s)
• Always monitor the operation of the Shade Systems to ensure proper operation and that furniture
or other obstacles cannot prevent normal deployment or retraction of the shade system
• DO NOT lower shade during high wind conditions (gusts over 20 mph). Doing so will result in
damage that will need to be repaired by a qualified technician. If the shade system is currently
in the down position, it is usually okay to operate the shade and retract it� However, avoiding
operation at any time when High Wind conditions are present is considered proper operation�
• For Shyzip - Side Track maintenance is important to ensure proper operation and trouble free
performance of the Zipper and ShyZip® track system� It is recommended that an annual or bi-
annual cleaning of the side tracks be performed by clearing any debris and/or dirt/dust that has
built up in the track housing and zipper inserts� A light power washing and/or utilizing a air blower
to "blow the debris" out of the tracks� A periodic light spraying of the food based Silicone after said
maintenance may be necessary or preferred during this maintenance operation to ensure a smooth
and proper operation of the zipper track system but is not considered to provide any smoother
operation over time because it typically only lasts outdoors for 2-3 weeks�
