Maintenance
For years of worry free operation of your retractable system(s), please follow the recommended maintenance tips.
As with any other functional product you've purchased before, proper maintenance is the key, As you use your screen(s) more and more, we ask that you follow these simple maintenance tips to ensure a smooth and worry-free operation of your retractable screen(s). Proper maintenance will reduce the effects of normal wear and tear.
Retractable Screen Maintenance Tips
- Clear View Retractable Screen™ Systems should be fully retracted into their protective housing when not in use. This will prevent unnecessary buildup of dust and debris on the screen material.
- The system should be retracted in excessive wind conditions (such as a violent storm). Excessive wind loads may affect the ability of the unit to operate correctly. Using the screen(s) on unusually windy days may cause the mesh to "sail" out of its track. When the wind subsides simply push the screen mesh back into the track.
Always use the handle to slide your screens and ensure you have a firm grip at all times.- Educate your children and guests on the safe use of your retractable screens.
- Although Clear View Retractable Screen™ Systems feature the Safe Glide safety feature, any spring loaded system may retract if the mesh is bumped. Do not push the mesh to release the magnetic latch; this may damage the mesh.
- When retracting the screen, ensure the mesh rolls in evenly. Retracting the product with creases in the screen may cause wrinkles.
- Retractable Screen Systems are intended to provide reasonable insect control. They are not intended to retain or secure animals or persons inside or outside of your home.
- Our Teflon TM coated track system makes our product virtually maintenance free. Ensure tracks are kept free of dirt and debris which may cause the screen to perform poorly by using a brush or vacuum. Spray dry silicone on both the top and bottom tracks to ensure smooth glide once or twice a year.
- Screen mesh, housing tracks and pull bars can be cleaned with water and a soft cloth. We do not recommend using a pressure washer or chemicals; a mild detergent such as dish soap should be used for this purpose. After cleaning the screen mesh, allow it to dry before retracting it back into the housing.
- Avoid stepping on bottom tracks as the slide bar will not glide properly if warping occurs.
Motorized Power Screens Maintenance Tips
- Please read carefully your owner's manual after your installer has shown you how to operate your screens.
Clear View MotionScreens™ should be fully retracted into their protective storage housing when not in use. This will prevent unnecessary buildup of dust and debris on the screen material.- Motorized screens should be observed while they are in operation. If any objects are left under a motorized unit this may prevent the unit from lowering properly. Should this happen, gently lift the weight bar up and remove the object.
- Educate your kids and guests on the safe use of your motorized screens.
- Leaning up against any of the tracks or screen material should be avoided as the additional weight may cause the screens to shift or malfunction.
- Power failures can affect a motorized unit's operation. Ensure that the system is still getting power by checking the circuit breakers and ground faults for resetting.
- Remote control units have a limited battery life. If the remote control's light does not come on when the buttons are depressed, the battery may be exhausted.
- Clear View products are intended to provide reasonable insect control and are not intended to retain or secure animals or persons inside or outside of your home.
- Screen mesh, housing tracks and pull bars can be cleaned with water and a soft cloth we do recommend using a pressure washer or chemicals; a mild detergent like dish soap should be used for this purpose.
