Troubleshooting
Problem
The shading is hard to raise or lower, or the bottom rail does not stop at
the top limit.
Solution
Check the adjustment position of ALL
limit stops. The top illustration shows
the correct adjustment. The limit stop
catches the bottom rail, and the bottom
of the limit stop is slightly above or barely
touching the fabric roll.
In the second illustration, the limit stop
adjustment is too tight. The fabric may
not drop freely and could even be
damaged when the shading is raised.
To correct this, the limit stop should be
adjusted one step up. Simply pull back
on the rear of the limit stop to adjust
its position.
In the bottom illustration, the
adjustment is too loose. The bottom
rail can slip under the limit stop. If
the bottom rail rotates through the
headrail, it must be backed out
before adjusting the limit stop.
IMPORTANT: All limit stops
must be adjusted to the same
position or else skewing may occur.
Problem
The shading is hard to raise or lower, or will not raise or lower.
Solution
Shadings cannot be forced into tight inside mount window
openings. If an inside mount, check that the shading is installed
correctly. Make sure there is clearance between the ends of the
shading and the window casement.
Check that the tension device is mounted correctly.
See "Install the Tension Device" on page 11.
Check that the installation brackets are level. Shim to level,
if necessary.
Check that the shading fabric is not catching on any brackets or
window components.

Removing the Shading
•
Fully raise the shading
•
Move the lever on the installation brackets to the left
to release the shading.
— A flat head screwdriver can be used to move the lever.
— If the lever is inaccessible or inoperable, lower
the shading until you can see the underside
of the bracket. Carefully reach a small flat
head screwdriver behind the shading to the
tab on bottom of the bracket between the
screw holes.
— Push the tab away from the shading and pull
the headrail to release it from the bracket.
IMPORTANT: Be very careful to not tear or damage any of the fabric.
•
Carefully pull the shading to remove it from the brackets.
Cleaning Procedures
Sheer Shadings are made of 100% polyester, which means they are inherently
durable and resilient. However, care must be taken to avoid wrinkling the fabric,
particularly where the vanes meet the facings.
Dusting
•
Regular light dusting with a feather duster is all the cleaning
that is needed in most circumstances.
Vacuuming
•
Use a low suction, hand-held vacuum for more thorough
dust removal.
Forced Air
•
Blow away dirt and debris between the vanes using clean
compressed air.
Spot-Cleaning
•
Do NOT spot-clean sheer shadings.
Ultrasonic Cleaning
Sheer Shadings can be ultrasonically cleaned by a professional with the exception of
light-dimming fabrics.
•
Specify that a mild detergent solution be used.
•
Never immerse the headrail in the solution.
•
Dry the shading completely in the lowered position.
