Importance of Limit Stops on Window Shadings

Limit stops serve as the upper travel limit for the bottom rail, preventing it from rotating around the fabric roll. Limit stops are located 6″ from the ends of the headrail or are centered on shadings less than 36″ wide.
When a shading is made, the limit stops are adjusted according to the size of the fabric roll. Occasionally, this adjustment changes during shipping or installation. If this happens, problems can be fixed by readjusting the limit stops. See the Troubleshooting  section if shading operation is difficult or if the bottom rail rotates around the fabric roll. Shown below are the four possible positions of limit stops for large to small fabric rolls.

Installation Overview
To install your shading, you will need to perform the following steps:
STEP 1: Install the Brackets
STEP 2: Install the Shading

STEP 1 — Install the Brackets

• Your order will include the correct number of installation brackets for your shading width, as shown in the table below.
• Shading orders may also include spacer blocks or extension brackets, if they were specified for added clearance.

➤ Extension brackets are used for end mount shadings, as well.

• Plug the 8.4v charger into the port on the wand.
• Plug the charger into an electrical outlet.
• A red light on the charger indicates that the battery is charging.
• To fully charge the batteries, allow the batteries to charge for at least 1 hour after the light on the charger turns green.
• A typical charge cycle can take between 4-6 hours.

TROUBLESHOOTING

Problem| The shading raises or lowers unevenly, the fabric rubs against one end of the headrail, or the bottom rail is uneven when fully raised.
---|---
Solution| Check that the window is square by measuring the diagonals.
Check that the installation brackets are level. Shim to level, if necessary.
Adjust the bottom rail weight. See below.
Adjusting the Bottom Rail Weight
◼ Release the weight clips by inserting a flat blade screwdriver into the weight clip and turning clockwise.
◼ Move the weight in 1″ increments toward the side where the fabric is gathering.◼ Secure the weight clips in position by turning them counterclockwise after making the adjustment.
◼ Test and, if necessary, adjust again.
PROBLEM| SOLUTION
---|---
The shade raises or lowers unevenly.| ◼ Check that the installation brackets are level and aligned. Shim the brackets, if necessary.
The motor does not work or runs slowly.| ◼ Recharge battery.
The shade moves the opposite direction of
the control buttons.| ◼ Press and hold the SETTING button, then press and hold the STOP button. Hold both until the motor jogs (approx. 10 seconds).

CARE

Dusting: Regular light dusting with a feather duster is all the cleaning that is needed in most circumstances.
Vacuuming: Use the soft brush head of the vacuum cleaner on low setting for a more thorough dust removal.

Spot Cleaning:

• Prepare a solution of lukewarm water and mild detergent if needed.
• Dampen a clean cloth or towel in the solution and wring thoroughly.
• Dab the spot with the dampened cloth until spot is removed. Do not rub or soak the fabric.
• Do not spot-clean anything other than the fabric covered headrail on horizontal shadings.
• Allow the shade to dry in completely lowered position.

Spot-cleaning may result in cleaner areas.
Horizontal 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.

Fabric Covered Headrail
– Spot-clean the headrail using a sponge or delicate cloth, cool distilled water and a mild soap solution; handle with care as you would any fine fabric.

Forced Air
– Blow away dirt and debris between the vanes using clean compressed air.

Ultrasonic Cleaning
Horizontal shadings can be ultrasonically cleaned by a professional, with the exception of the of the Light Dimming fabrics.

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.

Injection/Extraction

• Horizontal shadings can be professionally cleaned using the injection/extraction method.
• Use only the dry method of injection/extraction Light Dimming fabrics.
• Never immerse the headrail in the solution.

Electrostatic Cleaning
DO NOT use electrostatic cleaning wipes on any horizontal shadings.

CHARGING THE MOTOR BATTERY

When the shade begins to operate slower than normal or only beeps when you attempt to operate, it is time to charge the battery.

Charge with a Charger:

• Plug the 8.4v charger into the charging port on the motor.
• Plug the charger into an electrical outlet.
• Ared light on the charger indicates that the battery is charging.
• To fully charge the batteries, allow the batteries to charge for at least 1 hour after the light on the charger turns green.
• Atypical charge cycle can take between 4-6 hours.

Charging time:
The motor takes approximately 4 hours to be charged when power is low. We recommend leaving the charger in for an extra hour after the indicator turn green. To protect the rechargeable batteries inside the motor, charger must be unplugged when fully charged.

Charge with Solar Recharge Unit:
Determine solar recharge unit placement. The solar recharge unit should be placed at the location where gets the maximum amount of sunlight per day. In most cases this can be achieved by mounting the unit directly to the glass with double sided tape.
Brackets are provided if attaching to the glass is not possible. The brackets may be mounted several different ways depending on the application (window depth, window width, etc.). Check depth clearance behind the shade before mounting.
The unit requires 19” minimum window width to mount horizontally,

CARE

Dusting: Regular light dusting with a feather duster is all the cleaning that is needed in most circumstances.
Vacuuming: Use the soft brush head of the vacuum cleaner on low setting for a more thorough dust removal.

Spot Cleaning:

• Prepare a solution of lukewarm water and mild detergent if needed.
• Dampen a clean cloth or towel in the solution and wring thoroughly.
• Dab the spot with the dampened cloth until spot is removed. Do not rub or soak the fabric.
• Do not spot-clean anything other than the fabric covered headrail on horizontal shadings.
• Allow the shade to dry in completely lowered position.

Spot-cleaning may result in cleaner areas.
Horizontal 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.

Fabric Covered Headrail
– Spot-clean the headrail using a sponge or delicate cloth, cool distilled water and a mild soap solution; handle with care as you would any fine fabric.

Forced Air
– Blow away dirt and debris between the vanes using clean compressed air.

Ultrasonic Cleaning
Horizontal shadings can be ultrasonically cleaned by a professional, with the exception of the of the Light Dimming fabrics.

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.

Injection/Extraction

• Horizontal shadings can be professionally cleaned using the injection/extraction method.
• Use only the dry method of injection/extraction Light Dimming fabrics.
• Never immerse the headrail in the solution.

Electrostatic Cleaning
DO NOT use electrostatic cleaning wipes on any horizontal shadings.
