UltraGlide

Shades
CAUTION:
To avoid damage to the shade or personal injury, do not let go of the cord until it is
fully retracted.
To Lower the Shade:
■
Pull the cord toward the center of the shade
at a 45° angle. A locking mechanism at the
top of the cord releases with a “click”. The
shade automatically lowers as you allow the
cord to retract, releasing the tension.
■
To stop the shade while lowering, move the
cord back toward the vertical position and
give a slight downward pull, until the locking
mechanism engages.
■
If the shade hits an obstruction as it is lowered, it will stop and the internal cords may
become misaligned. This may cause the shade to be angled or tilted when fully raised. If this
occurs, do the following:
➤
Raise the shade slightly.
➤
Lower the shade completely to the sill. In some cases, pull gently on the bottom rail to
get it to drop completely.
IMPORTANT:
If the shade is tilted when fully raised, do not pull harder on the cord. It does
not correct the tilt and may make it worse. See “Troubleshooting” starting on page 13.
NOTE:
On inside mount shades, the bottom rail and fabric folds may rest on the sill.
To Raise the Shade:
■
Pull the cord straight down using short
even strokes.
➤
With each stroke the shade partially raises.
➤
Allow the cord to retract after each
downward stroke.
➤
Use multiple strokes until the shade
reaches the desired position.
NOTE:
Tiered
™
UltraGlide shades stop below
the first fold in the fuly raised position to provide clearance for cord operation.
Top-Down/Bottom-Up Shades:
■
The left cord controls the bottom rail. The right cord controls the middle rail.
IMPORTANT:
You must first lower the bottom rail before lowering the middle rail. Likewise,
you must first raise the middle rail before raising the bottom rail.
