PROBLEM CAUSE SOLUTION
1. Ripples along sides of
fabric
Shade rolled up for an extended
period of time
Leave shade down for 1-4 hours; most ripples should
disappear.
Installation is not square Check box/brackets & shade roll are installed level.
Fabric permanently damaged
due to inadequate handling
during assembly, transportation,
installation or use
Replace fabric and ensure it is handled with care.
Spring inside pivot arms have
been damaged Replace arms.
2. Shade does not fully open/
jams
Crank may be damaged Replace crank.
Incorrect motor limits used Refer to motor instructions to reset stop limits.
3. Uneven/twisted Terminal
Bar
Shade roll is not level, thus
weight bar appears uneven Ensure shade is installed level.
Shade has been operated in
excessive wind conditions
Check shade roll when the shade is fully raised. If ripples
are evident on roll, open shade fully (without the presence
of wind) to allow the shade to track down evenly. Raise and
lower shade a number of times to check operation.
Fabric is not installed straight Ensure fabric is assembled straight onto tube and weight
bar.
4. Terminal Bar lifts up near
bottom limit (motor control) Motor is FT (Fabric Tension) Mode Refer to motor instructions to deactivate FT Mode.
