SECTION 5 −TROUBLESHOOTING
NO.
PROBLEM
CAUSE
SOLUTION
1
Uneven blind
Cord not running straight
down.
Make sure cord outlet of spool is aligned with cord
clips on the battens.
Cord in spool not aligned to
start with.
Make sure cords on every spool are aligned
horizontally to ensure they wind down evenly.
Cord knots are uneven.
Ensure the cord knots tied off at the bottom are even
lengths and sit level and tight against the last batten.
Cord has overlapped in spool
Check the cord is spooling evenly along when wound.
If the cord has overlapped itself bring the blind all the
way down then back up again to reset cord.
2
Cord loops seen below fabric
Cords are too long
Ensure the cord knots tied off at the bottom are even
lengths and sit level and tight against the last batten.
3
Noisy operation
Spool spacing is too great
Make sure you have enough spools across the length
of the blind. This will stop any possible sagging
between spools.
Spool not secure
Ensure all the spools are secured tightly to the head
rail
Rod deformed
Ensure the rod is straight and not deformed.
4
Broken Cord
1kg per spool exceeded
Add additional spools. To replace cord refer to
Section 4 - Slim spool cord replacement
