OPERATION

18

Operate the Shading

A single control is used to operate both the front window shading and the rear roller shade. 
Operation is sequential. The front shading must be lowered and the vanes opened before the 
rear roller shade can be lowered. Conversely, the rear roller shade must be raised before the 
vanes on the front shading can be closed and the front shading raised.

CAUTION:  

When raising the front shading or rear shade for the first time, observe how the 

fabric rolls up into the headrail. It should roll up evenly. If the bottom rail is not level or the 
fabric starts to rub against either window jamb, immediately stop the front or back shade from 
operating. See “Adjust the Bottom Rail Weight of the Front Shading” on page 31.

 

For operation instructions, refer to the appropriate page based on your operating system.
