How To Look After Your Roller Shutter
Simple habits that extend the life of your shutter motor and curtain:
- Never force a jammed electric shutter by repeatedly pressing the button — this will burn out the motor or snap the curtain links.
- Ensure nothing is left under the shutter when closing it. An obstruction can cause the shutter to spool backwards inside the box.
- Do not grease the inside of the guide rails with thick grease — it attracts dirt. Use a light silicone spray if necessary.
