Thank you for purchasing a KwickScreen. KwickScreen is an award winning portable, retractable room divider with a very small footprint for easy storage and use. KwickScreens are simple to transport and clean. KwickScreens are often used in infection control, privacy and dignity, and new builds and refurbishments providing flexible space management within healthcare. Wemtech health and safety reports can be provided upon request.
It is important to be gentle when pulling the KwickScreen out for use. This is especially true when the product is new or if it has not been used recently.
The screen must be allowed to find its ‘natural position’ where the screen moves smoothly in and out of the casing. If you find the screen more difficult to push in or pull out, or you hear a crumpling sound, then reverse your action (push if pulling and pull if pushing). This is a rare occurrence but if forced, the screens will crumple and this will cause damage and can crease the inner panel.
If you have purchased a printed screen we recommend leaving it open in a well ventilated space to remove the smell of ink for 3-4 days.
Read all instructions in this user guide prior to installation and operation of your KwickScreen.
For personal and operational safety, use only parts approved by KwickScreen.
Before installation ensure all parts are present, complete and without defects.

KwickScreens are designed in line with infection control performance specifications. The smooth surfaces are easy to clean and designed to withstand regular cleaning. The metal parts are powder-coated and the screen material is polyester film manufactured by DuPont.
Surfaces should be cleaned using a solution of warm water and mild detergent. Use a clean soft cloth and rinse with clean water after washing.
Hypochlorite may also be used on the screen material. Hypochlorite can be applied at 1000–10000 ppm or a 70% alcohol solution.
If normal cleaning does not remove all stains the following cleaning agents may be used at room temperature
Deep cleaning is recomended every 3-4 months. To deep clean, retract screen fully and clean inside the body.

The universal bracket pair is a top and bottom bracket set which allows the attachment of a KwikScreen to a wall. The right, left and back sides of the main body can be fixed to a wall using the different holes provided on the brackets.

The universal brackets are desgined to fit on any side of the product. As such the brackets have multiple holes on them, this is not a manufacturing default and the appropriate holes to use will become apparent during installation.
Installing the Universal Bracket Pair
To fix the KwickScreen to the wall, the top of the main body needs to sit flush with the top of the front handle. Therefore the bottom of the main body needs to be mounted 135mm from the floor, meaning the holes for top bracket will be centered at 159mm from the floor and the top bracket holes will be 1851mm from the floor.
One simple method to achieve the appropriate height is to measure the top bracket’s location first, using the top of the front handle as a guide.
Attaching the Bracket to the Main Body
For the bottom bracket, align 2 of the 4 protruding studs on the bottom of the main body with the 2 of the holes on the bottom bracket. Fit the studs into the holes and fix using 2 of the ‘nylock’ bolts provided.
A top bracket and a bottom bracket set that can only be positioned at the back of the product but that has 3 hole positions to give clearance between the back of the product and the wall, to allow for trunking or other wall-based obstacles.
Installing the Extended Bracket Pair
The extended bracket pair are designed to replace the universal bracket pair. Therefore instructions from ‘installing the universal bracket pair’ can be followed. The extended bracket cannot however be used for attachment to the left or right sides of the main body, but has holes which will allow for 3 different distances between the wall and the back side of the main body.
Although we recommend following the instructions in the previous section, brackets can be installed facing away from the main body. If this method is used, make sure that the top of the KwickScreen’s main body is level with the top of the front handle.
