DRAPES,TRACKS AND DRIVE SYSTEM
DESCRIPTION: The drapes are made of synthetic fibers, and are
installed with velcro, or suspended from a track
system. The track system is made of steel tubing,
cast aluminum brackets and aluminum channel.
1. Cleaning:
The cable used in the track system is teflon coated
steel cable. The drive system is mechanical gear
reduction drive, powered by an electrical motor.
A drive chain is used to connect the drive system to
the track system. Maintenance is very important to
the entire drapery system , and should be part of
your P.M. procedures.
A. Drapes are to be cleaned by contracting a professional
drapery service, and the cleaning to be done at night after
store hours.
******** AN IMPORTANT NOTE: FIRE PROOFING And FIRE CODES ********
Some areas have strict fire codes, some are not as strict.
After the drapes have been dry cleaned, it will be necessary
to retreat and recertified to the fire proofing codes in your
area.
B. The drapes should never be removed, if it is necessary to
remove the drapes the following instruction should apply.
First remove the vertical panels (tied back on each side of
the platform). Next remove the Jaboe. The velcro under both,
the vertical panels and jaboe should now be removed. Remove
the velcro with care. Now the valances can be taken down, and
they are also attached with velcro. Some stores the valances
may have been stapled up. Now that ever thing has been
removed you can now takedown the main drapes.
Re-installation is a reverse of the above.
2. Problems and Repairs:
A. If there is any electrical problems See electrical repair
pages 5-010 and 5-011
B. If the draperies are damaged due to rips and tears, you may
have then sewn and repaired locally.
