™
key into the pocket. The key is fully inserted
when the ring on the key abuts to the pocket.
■ ➤
Lift up the rail slightly before turning the
Easy Adjust key. Turn the key clockwise
to raise that side of the rail, or counter-
clockwise to lower it.
■ ➤
One quarter turn of the key equals
approximately
1
⁄
4
".
IMPORTANT: The Easy Adjust key must be
fully inserted to avoid stripping the mechanism.
Do not pull down on the rail while turning the
key.
■ ■
If there are more than two pockets, adjust the outer pockets first. Then adjust inner
pockets as necessary, to maintain equal tension across the rail. As pocket adjustments are
made, it is recommended that the shade be raised and lowered to check that it is level.
Adjusting the Duolite Middle Rail
■ ■
Hex pockets are found at the ends of the
middle rail, which is located in the top cell
of the lower fabric panel.
■ ■
Insert the Easy Adjust key so that its hex-
shaped portion is about halfway into the
pocket.
■ ■
Turn the key clockwise to raise that end of
the rail or counter-clockwise to lower it.
■ ➤
One full turn of the key equals
approximately
1
⁄
8
".
On shades over 60" wide, there will be two
hex pockets in the right end of the middle rail.
Use the rear hex pocket to adjust the tension
in the center cord after adjusting the outer
cords to level the rail.
