Maintenance

To be completed by facilities personnel. Concerns should be identified to a trained Mecho dealer for service.

All mounting hardware (brackets and channels) is affixed tightly and securely to its intended mounting surface.
Ensure tube plugs next to center support brackets have air gap between them and the closest surface on the bracket adjacent to them so they are not rubbing.
No metal, plastic or other particulate matter is collecting under the shade especially near bracket locations (i.e., center support bracket, idle bracket, drive bracket, etc.)
Shade Cloth: No tears, separation of fabric from hem bar, creases or unacceptable wrinkling in the fabric is seen when the shade is fully deployed.

To be completed by a trained technician.

Multi-Band Couplers: Ensure that the interconnection between coupled shade bands does not possess excessive play (> 5 degrees) by grabbing the 2 tubes independently and rotating in the opposite directions. Concerns may require disassembly of the tube assemblies to inspect for wear.
Verify the shade operates smoothly all the way up and down. No audible unexpected noises. Verify that the hem bar always moves level and does not tilt.
Verify no squeaking or grinding noises occur at the idle or center support during entire travel from top-to-bottom or bottom-to-top. Concerns may be alleviated by applying a synthetic grease (like Molykote G-4500FM). If this does not correct the situation then the tube assembly will need to be removed for inspection of wear in the bearing surfaces and/or removal of any debris in the joint.
Ensure there is no excessive telescoping of fabric. Concerns may require shimming of bracket and/or fabric.
Verify hem bar alignment between adjacent bands. Alignment should be checked at the top and bottom limits as well as at eye level. Concerns may require shimming of bracket and/or fabric.
