Operate the Shade
IMPORTANT: Top-Down/Bottom-Up and Independent Operable Liner shades have two lift
cords. To operate Top-Down/Bottom-Up shades, the right cord operates the middle rail and
the left cord operates the bottom rail. 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. Top-
down/bottom-up not available on LiteRise®shades.
EasyRise™ Shades
To Lower the Shade
■Pull down on the back of the
continuous cord loop.
To Raise the Shade
■Pull down on the front of the
continuous
cord loop.
IMPORTANT: If the cord
tensioner moves up the cord,
you have not secured it to
the wall or window frame.
You must do so for the
shade to operate properly.

with your Universal Cord
Tensioner Installation Kit.

OPERATION

UltraGlide® Shades
For smooth operation, keep the cord close to the fabric when lowering and raising the shade.
To Lower the Shade
■Pull the cord toward the center of the shade at about a 45°
angle. A locking mechanism at the top of the cord releases
with a “click.” The shade lowers as you allow the cord to
return to the vertical position.
■To stop the shade while lowering, move the cord back
toward the vertical position and give a slight downward pull,
until the locking mechanism engages.
■If the shade hits an obstruction as it is lowered, it will stop,
but the cords in each cord rout may 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 bottom of the shade is tilted when fully raised, do not pull harder
on the cord. It does not correct the tilt and may make it worse.
To Raise the Shade
■Pull the cord straight down.
■With each stroke the shade partially raises.
■Allow the cord to retract after each downward stroke.
■Use multiple strokes until the shade reaches the desired
position.
To Lower: Pull the cord
toward the center of
the shade and release.
To Raise: Pull the
cord straight down
with short strokes.
To Lower: Pull the cord
toward the center of
the shade and release.
To Raise: Pull the
cord straight down
with short strokes.

OPERATION

LiteRise® Shades
To Lower the Shade
■Slowly and steadily pull down on the
bottom rail handle.
To Raise the Shade
■Slowly and steadily push up on the bottom
rail handle.
IMPORTANT: When raising the shade,
be sure to raise it straight up. Pushing it
up to the left or right may make the fabric
rub against the wall or valance, it can
possibly fray the fabric edges.

Troubleshooting
Problem The shade will not fit into theinstallation brackets.
Check that the installation brackets are level and aligned. Shim the installation
brackets to level the headrail, if necessary. Shims are notprovided.
Be sure the heads of the screws are flush against the installation bracket.
Check that the headrail is completely inserted into the installation brackets. See
“Install the Shade” on page 6.
Problem The shade is hard to raise or lower, or will not raise or lower.
Solution Make sure that the shade fabric is not caught between the installation bracket
and the headrail.
Check that the headrail and installation brackets are level and aligned. Shim the
installation brackets to level the headrail, if necessary. Shims are not provided.
If hold-down brackets are used, make sure they have been released before
operating the shade.
Problem The shade raises or lowers unevenly or the bottom rail is uneven when
fullyraised.
Solution Check that the headrail and installation brackets are level and aligned. Shim the
installation brackets to level the headrail, if necessary. Shims are not provided.
Check to see if there is an obstruction in the shade’s path. If a shade hits an
obstruction as it is lowered, it may become misaligned. This may cause the
shade to be angled or tilted when fully raised. Try lowering the shade completely,
then raising it to allow it to self-correct.
Problem The universal cord tensioner has climbed to the headrail.
Solution Pull down on the spring to relieve tension and pull the universal cord tensioner
to the bottom of the cord loop. Properly mount the cord tensioner. See Page
8 and/or the instructions included with your Universal Cord Tensioner
Installation Kit.
Problem The universal cord tensioner grabs onto the cord upon operation.
Solution Check that the universal cord tensioner is mounted properly. Reinstall, if
necessary. See “Attach the Universal Cord Tensioner — EasyRise™Only” on
Page 8 and/or the instructions included with your Universal Cord Tensioner
Installation Kit.
