JOINER BALL INSTALLATION & ADJUSTEMENT
NOTE: Because each arch is custom made, slight adjustments may need to be made
to position the joiner ball. Excess cord has been left for that purpose. DO NOT cut
excess cord until you are completely satisfied with the operation of the shade.
ATTACH AND OPERATE THE JOINER BALL
Screw the two halves of the Joiner Ball together and test the shade operation.
1.
The shade should go all the way up to the top block.
2.
The shade should go all the way down to the stack position.
3.
The shade should be able to stay in position in between and move
without excess tension.
ADJUST AND OPERATE THE JOINER BALL
If the shade goes all the way up and all the
way down, but will not stay up without
holding the cord, move the bottom half of
the ball down (shorten lower cord)
approximately 3/4”. Test the operation
and adjust again if necessary.
If the shade operates with too much
tension, move the bottom half of the ball
up (lengthen bottom cord).
If the shade will not go all the way up, but
has correct tension, move both halves of
the ball up (shorten upper cord and
lengthen lower cord).
If the shade will not go all the way down,
but has correct tension, move both halves of the ball down (lengthen upper cord
and shorten lower cord).
If a 2-String shade does not appear level, or gaps on one side, adjust one or both
of the cords coming into the top half of the ball.
Once the shade has been adjusted properly and the shade goes all the way up and
down, the excess cord can be trimmed near the upper and lower holes of the joiner
ball.
