CHAIN OPERATION:
15.
After installing, draw the blind up and down twice by pulling the operating cord or chain, this will settle the blind after
transporting. Check the mechanism’s operation and make sure the fabric is not rubbing against any obstacles. This can
damage the blind if left untreated.
Chain Drive Romans
: rotate the chain to raise and lower the blind; fix the chain tension device to the architrave or reveal.
NOTE:
For the first weeks have the customer take the tension off the back cords to allow the fabric to drop. You do this by
winding the blind fully down and then keep winding for another half a turn, this will take the tension off the back cords. See
settling time note below.
16.
It is important when using this blind that it is operated
carefully
to prolong the life of the product and maintain the warranty
period.
NOTE:
If the blind has rear aluminium battens the fabric may appear to hang shorter than required after first installing.
However, these battens allow for the fabric to drop after a few days. This factor has been taken into consideration when the
blinds were manufactured. Please see settling time note below.
Raising and Lowering the Blind
1.
After installing using the chain or cord, draw the blind up and down twice to settle the blind after transporting and to also
check that the fabric is not rubbing against any obstacles. This can damage the blind if left untreated.
2.
The chain should
never
be pulled on an angle, just straight up or down in a vertical motion. This stops fabric being
damaged, limits noise, and allows blind to lift evenly.
3.
Install the child safety device or cleat by ensuring the chain is tangle free and then mounting to the desired location keeping
the chain in a straight line down from the control mechanism. Use screw to fix each cleat or tensioning device in a place that
is out of reach of children. Never secure these devices with materials that fail when a load is placed on them, such as
double-sided tape or glue.
4.
The appropriate tension required on the chain can be achieved by pulling down firm and then releasing that tension by
approximately 5mm. Most importantly the chain must not be able to form a loop with a circumference equal to or greater
than 220mm, as per the child safety legislation. See over page for further Children’s safety information as per Trade Practice
– Consumer Product Safety Standard – Corded Internal Window Coverings) Regulations 2010 (2010 No.212).
