Importance of Limit Stops on Shadings
Limit stops serve as the upper travel limit for the bottom rail, preventing it from rotating around the fabric roll. Limit
stops are located 6" from the ends of the headrail or are centered on shadings less than 36" wide.
When a shading is made, the limit stops are adjusted according to the size of the fabric roll. Occasionally, this adjustment
changes during shipping or installation. If this happens, problems can be fixed by readjusting the limit stops. See page
16 in the Troubleshooting section if shading operation is difficult or if the bottom rail rotates around the fabric roll.
Shown below are the four possible positions of limit stops for large to small fabric rolls.
