OPERATION
Operate the Shade
For smooth operation, keep the wand close to the fabric when raising and lowering the shade.
To Lower the Shade
■
Pull the wand toward the center of the shade at about a 45° angle. The locking mechanism at the
top of the wand releases with a “click.” The shade lowers as you allow the wand to return to the
vertical position.
IMPORTANT: The wand must be pulled in close to the front of the shade. Do not pull the wand
out away from the shade.
■
To stop the shade while lowering, move the wand back toward the vertical position and give a
slight downward pull to engage the locking mechanism.
■
If the shade hits an obstruction as it is lowered it will stop, which may cause the cords in each
cord route to become misaligned. This may cause the shade to be angled or tilted when fully
raised. If this occurs, do the following:
➤
Raise the shade slightly.
➤
Lower the shade completely to the sill. In some cases, pull gently on the bottom rail to get
it to drop completely.
IMPORTANT: If the shade is tilted when fully raised, do not pull harder on the wand. It does
not correct the tilt and may make it worse.
To Raise the Shade
■
Pull the wand straight down or slightly toward the outside.
➤
With each stroke the shade partially raises.
➤
Allow the wand to retract after each downward stroke.
➤
Use multiple strokes until the shade reaches the desired position.
Operate the Shade - Day/Night
■
To operate Day/Night and Top-Down/Bottom-Up shades, the right wand operates
the middle rail and the left wand operates the bottom rail (unless reverse controls
were specified on the order).
IMPORTANT: You must first lower the bottom rail before lowering the middle rail.
Likewise, you must first raise the middle rail before raising the bottom rail.
To Raise: Pull the wand straight
down with short strokes.
To
Lower:

the center of the shade
and release.
