- Step 1: Fasten the Fixed Base
Fasten the fixed base component to the horizontal pipe of your Mirador pergola. Use self-drilling and self-tapping screws to secure it firmly. Ensure the base is level and aligned with the pergola structure.

- Step 2: Mount the Curtain Main Body
Carefully lift the main body of the curtain and position it onto the fixed base from the outside. Lift it up until it aligns with the inner top of the fixed base. Secure the fixed base and the main body of the curtain together using the provided screws.
- Step 3: Install Fixed Angle Aluminum and Side Slide Rails
Install the fixed angle aluminum pieces for both the left and right sides. These attach to the vertical columns of the pergola. Then, attach the side slide rails to these fixed angle aluminum pieces on both sides. Ensure they are vertically aligned and securely fastened.

- Step 4: Pull Down Beam and Zipper Insertion
Gently pull down the pull-down beam of the curtain to an appropriate length. Simultaneously, insert the zippers located on the left and right sides of the curtain into the corresponding line strips of the side slide rails. Once inserted, fasten the left and right side slide rails to the pergola columns. Finally, secure the hexagon socket head cap screws to complete the installation.

Operating Instructions
The Sorara Privacy Screen Panel features a manually retractable mechanism for easy operation.
- To Extend the Screen: Gently pull down the integrated handle located in the bottom rail of the screen. The screen will smoothly extend downwards along the side slide rails. You can stop the screen at any desired height to control privacy and shade.
- To Retract the Screen: Push the integrated handle upwards. The screen will retract into its housing at the top of the pergola.

Maintenance
To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your privacy screen, follow these maintenance guidelines:
- Cleaning: The 400g/m² Textilene fabric is easy to clean. Use a mild soap solution and a soft brush or cloth to wipe down the fabric. Rinse thoroughly with clean water and allow it to air dry completely before retracting.
- Frame Care: The aluminum frame is resistant to rust. Wipe down the aluminum vertical and horizontal channels periodically with a damp cloth to remove dirt and debris.
- Mechanism Check: Periodically inspect the retracting mechanism and slide rails for any obstructions or signs of wear. Keep the slide rails free of dirt and debris to ensure smooth operation.
Troubleshooting
If you encounter any issues with your Sorara Privacy Screen Panel, consider the following common solutions:
- Screen not retracting/extending smoothly: Check the side slide rails for any debris or obstructions. Ensure the zippers are properly seated within the line strips. Lubricate the moving parts if necessary with a silicone-based spray.
- Screen appears uneven: Verify that all fixed bases, fixed angle aluminum pieces, and side slide rails are installed level and securely. Re-check the alignment of the curtain within the rails.
- Excessive noise during operation: This may indicate friction in the mechanism or rails. Clean and lubricate the moving parts. Ensure all screws are tightened appropriately.
