OPERATION

Problem The vanes do not open when the shading is first operated.
Solution Make sure the front shading is completely lowered and the rear shade is fully
raised.
Open and close the shading several times to help open the vanes. If necessary,
gently pull down on the bottom rail when the shading is fully lowered.
Problem
The vanes do not close fully when the shading stops in the lowest position.
Solution A small distance between the front and back fabric facings in the fully closed
or open position is normal.
PowerView
®
only: If this distance is excessive or moves over time, open the
shading to its full “vane open” position and try again. If this does not correct
the problem, reset the bottom limit. See “Resetting the Shading (If Necessary)”
on page 25.
Problem
The shading raises from the sill when the vanes are closed.
Solution A small gap between the sill and the bottom of the shading is normal in the
fully lowered “vane closed” position. The gap is necessary to allow for the
unimpeded movement of the bottom rail.
PowerView only:
If this distance is excessive or moves over time, open the
shading to its full “vane open” position and try again. If this does not correct
the problem, reset the bottom limit. See “Resetting the Shading (If Necessary)”
on page 25.
Problem
PowerView only: Adjacent shadings do not roll up evenly.
Solution It is considered normal if the roll-up on adjacent shadings is within
5
⁄
16
" of
each other. If one shading rolls up tighter than another, lower and raise both
shadings several times.
Reset the shading. See “Resetting the Shading (If Necessary)” on page 25.
Check that the shading fabric is not catching on any brackets or components.
Check that the fabric winds evenly and does not rub against the headrail.
If uneven, see “Adjust the Bottom Rail Weight of the Front Shading” on
page 31.
