Maintenance
Regular maintenance will extend the life of your welding screen.
- Cleaning: Clean the vinyl curtain periodically with a mild soap and water solution. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents that could damage the material.
- Inspection: Regularly inspect the steel frame for any signs of damage, bending, or corrosion. Check the Quick-Snap connections to ensure they remain secure. Inspect the vinyl curtain for tears, holes, or excessive wear.
- Storage: When not in use, store the screen in a clean, dry environment away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures to prevent material degradation.
