Bottom of shade does not hang evenly
- EasyUp
Sometimes this can happen if the cords get caught in the head rail.
This can also happen if the "C" Clips are not evenly spaced on the
tilt rod in the head rail. To fix, unhook the cording, then raise and
lower the shade several times to test the operation.

Noisy operation-
EasyUp
Sometimes
on larger shades, the piece
that
keeps the long metals strips from rubbing against the head
rail
shifts out of position. This piece is a small plastic
component that all the spears run through. Simply push this
plastic component to the end of the metal spears to eliminate
the noise.

Cord controls
too long- Cellular, Honeycomb, Pleated Shade
First, untie the upper knot from the smaller cord that feeds into
the cord collector. Push the stop ball up to the desired location
and then retie the knot. Before you cut off excess cording, first
lower the blind to make sure the length of the shade and the
controls are satisfactory.

Frayed
Cordloop
First, remove the control end cap by lifting the tab on the top of
the head rail that locks the cap into place. The cap should then
easily pop off. Remove the frayed cordloop by gently lifting the
cord and turning the mechanism (Tip: a screwdriver inserted into the
center of the mechanism allows for easy rotation). Start the new
cordloop into the pulley by placing the cord into one of the teeth
of the gear. Rotate the cordloop into place. Replace the control cap

Will not lift
Gently pull down on the bottom rail to reactivate the spring. Tip:
Anytime you leave your blinds in the closed position for an extended
period of time, the spring will need to be reset in order to
function properly.

Creeping or
sagging
If you notice your shade is creeping up from the bottom or sagging
from the top, please look inside the head rail to check for the
factory-installed friction clips. Contact customer service to
receive friction clips and instructions to install into the spring
motor. For shades that are sagging down from the top when raised,
remove the bottom rail end caps from one end and look for one or more
pieces of steel rod. Remove one piece at a time and check for
improved performance. Then replace the end caps.

Hangs
unevenly
In some instances, the lift tapes (white ribbons) in your cordless
shade can become entangled. This problem can typically be solved by
pulling the shade down completely. This will usually realign the
tapes. Prevention Tip: Always lift your shade from the middle rather
than the sides and do not lift too quickly as this creates slack in
the ribbons.

|
Does not operate smoothly
Look inside the head rail at the spring motor and check for
friction clips. Remove 1 or all of the friction clips and
check for improved operation.
