Correct Use Instructions

• Take care while operating blinds on windy days. If blind stops while being lowered due to pressure on the side spline the operator can inadvertently cause the sidespline to be pulled out of its track.
• If the blind stops while being lowered it may be due to wind creating pressure on the side spline. Stop the blind and add some pressure downward to lower blind.
• Watch the blind while being lowered, if the blind gets caught on the tracks then stop the blind with the remote control. Check the tracks to check nothing is preventing the blind being lowered such as dirt, dust or grit.
• Just Outdoor Blinds use the strongest fabrics, fixings and extruded aluminium available, the operator should ensure blinds are not left down in extreme winds.
• Blinds are made from fabric and extreme winds can cause fixings to snap, fabric stretch and tear and tracks to become loose from structure.

Cleaning

• Tracks must be regularly cleaned with soapy water so tracks are free from dirt dust and grit.
• Fabric can be cleaned with a mild detergent, sponge and hosed off with water.

Lubrication

• Tracks should be regularly lubricated with silicone spray.
• Spray tracks top to bottom with silicone, available from Bunnings or other hardware stores. Warning: Do not use an oil based lubricant, it will damage the side spline.

Maintenance

• If correctly used, cleaned and lubricated Xtrack blinds should be repair free for years to come.

Is Xtrack Right for You?

Thank you for considering Xtrack Australian Made Outdoor Blinds. Xtrack is a high-quality product constructed with the best materials available. Xtrack is motorised remote control as standard and is proudly Australian Made. Xtrack has a 7-year factory warranty. Maintenance and correct use is the responsibility of the property owner and or operator.

When choosing motorised outdoor blinds consider that the product is made from fabric. Fabric is non rigid and will not operate in the same manner as a rigid product such as garage door or aluminium roller shutter. All fabric will naturally wrinkle when it is rolled. Xtrack fabrics are designed to be self-ironing in sunshine. Self-ironing will happen more quickly in warmer weather. Self-Ironing is not applicable to clear PVC blinds.  When the blind is being lowered, it will descend only by the pulling effect of the weight of the base rail. It is physically impossible to push the blind down. Xtrack has one of the heaviest base rails of all track guided blinds on the Australian market. When being lowered however it is important to watch the blind and press stop with the stop button on the remote if the blind does not descend smoothly. Weather conditions such as wind, rain, colder temperatures can all affect how a track guided blind descends. General blind cleanliness and regular lubrication will also affect how a blind descends. Fabric and tracks must be clean to work correctly. Natural elements such as dirt dust or grit will affect how a blind operates, and can prevent a blind descending freely. Cleaning and maintenance is the responsibility of the property owner.  Motor limits are easy to change with a sequence of pressing buttons. Motor instructions are available online by visiting Alpha Tubular Motors website. Universal motor instructions.
