e) Test the shade again to see if the material still walks off. If the material
still walks off, apply another layer of masking tape on top of the previous
one(s). Several layers of masking tape may be required to fix the walk-off.
Tip!! The further you put the tape towards the end of the tube the more it
effects walk-off. Depending on how the material is walking off you can
also place tape at several locations on the material. The goal is to use as
little tape as possible. Adding a very thick layer of tape can cause the hem
bar to appear out of level when rolled up.
Note for Motorized Shades
The motors are not rated for continuous use. If you are working on this
procedure and having to bring the shade up/down many times the motor
may overheat and stop responding. The internal temperature sensors will
shut down the motor and you must wait until the motor cools before
proceeding. This is normal and does not hurt the motor.
