DAY/NIGHT PLEATED BLINDS

–If Equipped
Your coach may feature two-stage pleated
window blinds that can be used for light filtering,
daytime room darkening, or nighttime privacy.
They are raised or lowered by grasping the
bottom edge of the desired blind section and
moving it up or down by hand.
A constant-tension cord system holds them at
the desired level without slipping.
Sun Filter
The lower section is a translucent white shade
that can be lowered for privacy without
darkening the inside of the coach. It can also filter
out harsh direct sunlight to help keep the inside of
the coach cool in summer or to disperse light for
houseplants.
Room Darkening/Privacy Shade
The upper section is an opaque, darkening
shade for nighttime privacy and daytime room
darkening purposes. Pull both sections down
together or separately.
Tension Adjustment
The tension of the pleated blinds can be
adjusted if they become loose and will not stay up
when raised, or they are too tight and are difficult
to raise and lower.
FURNITURE AND SOFTGOODS
The tension cords are attached to spools at the
lower corners of the blinds as shown in the
following photo.
To Tighten Tension
Wrap the tension cords around the mounting
spools, one turn at a time, at both ends of the
shade. Check tension by raising and lowering a
few times. Repeat as necessary to obtain the
desired tension. Do not over-tighten.
To Loosen Tension
Unwrap the guide cords from the spools, one
turn at a time, until desired tension is achieved.
Preserving Shape
The pleated blinds are made using high
quality materials that are designed and woven to
retain their shape throughout their useful life.
They may lose their crisp shape, however, if left
in a lowered position for an extended period of
time without being raised periodically. If this
happens, the pleats can be restored using this
simple method.
• With the blind fully lowered, dampen the
entire area of the pleats with a good quality
laundry spray starch.
• Raise the blind fully while still damp and let it
remain in the raised position for about 24
hours.
• Reapply starch periodically (every few
months) as needed.
