manufacturer's instructions.
Cassette Blind and Flyscreen
Always hold the end rod in the middle. When
closing blinds, slide the end rod of the flyscreen
blind on to the end rod of the sun blind and
engage. To open the blind push the end rods
towards the darkening blind to the edge and
disengage the end rods. Now move the end rod
of the flyscreen back by hand - do not let it recoil.
Tensioning Seitz blinds and flyscreens
Seitz S2000 window blinds/flyscreens are
pre-tensioned, it may also be necessary in the
future to adjust the tension of these. Remove
the left hand top corner cap. Adjust the lower
screw for the blind and the higher screw for
the flyscreen. Care should be taken not to over
tighten the springs.
The spring in the Seitz cassette window blinds/
flyscreens are pre-tensioned. However, it may
be necessary in the future to adjust the tension.
The tensioning screw is positioned on the right
hand top corner of the cassette. Firstly remove
the plug then adjust by rotating the screw
clockwise. Then replace plug.
The blinds should rewind without stopping or
moving in a sluggish manner.
WINDOWS/ ROLLER BLIND
ADVICE
In case of prolonged exposure to the sun roller
blinds should not be completely closed as this
could cause excessive heat concentration at
the top of the window, due to characteristics
of the glazing material the windows could be
adversely affected.
Roller blinds that shade from the bottom
upwards it is necessary to leave a gap of a few
centimetres open at the top, this way the heat
between window and blind can escape. A fly
screen does not cause an obstruction.
Roller blinds that shade from the top
downwards must be kept completely open,
or be opened regularly to allow the heat to
escape.
Keeping the windows in ventilation position
allows heat to escape.
Never fully close a roller blind system when
storing the vehicle or when not in use for longer
periods!
Therefore for optimal window life it is
recommended:-
- Blinds starting at the bottom of the window a
gap should be provided for ventilation at the
top with the window in its ventilation position.
- For vehicles containing blinds from the top
downwards or with other types of reflective
blinds / curtains, please make sure that these
blinds are also ventilated or not fully closed.
Ensure that all windows and roof vents are
closed when the vehicle travels on the road.
To adjust the tension of the Horrex blind:
In each corner piece there is an cord tensioner
(see photo). By unscrewing the hexagon
screw, the cord can move through the cord
tensioner. When you pull the cord, the tension
will get higher, when you let it move back the
tension will get less.
