Remove ladder caps from the bottom rail
with a small flat screwdriver being careful
not to damage rail. Cut the knots from the
lift cords.
Remove the bottom rail and excess slats by
first pulling the lift cords up through the slats
to be removed and sliding slats out of the
ladder tape.
Replace the bottom rail into the
ladder tape at the desired height
allowing one blank ladder rung to
remain between the last slat and the
bottom rail. This is necessary to allow
the last slat to tilt properly.
Re-insert the lift cords into the holes in
the bottom rail. Cut the excess
ladder tapes allowing approximately
12mm of excess tape to remain.
Thread the lift cords through the
ladder caps and tie knots to hold
them. Cut the excess cord. Push the
excess ladder tape into the holes in
the bottom rail. Replace the ladder
caps into the bottom rail.
To avoid creating a possible strangulation hazard for children, the corded internal window covering must
be installed in such a way that loose cord or ball chain cannot form a loop 220mm or longer as measured
along the perimeter of the cord. It should be secured at a height of more than 1600mm above floor level to
ensure child safety.
A cord or ball chain guide may be installed lower than 1600mm above floor level, if the cord or ball chain is
sufficiently secured or tensioned to prevent a loop of 220mm or longer being formed. If the cord or ball
chain guide is installed lower than 1600mm above floor level, it must be installed so as to:
A. prevent a child from being able to remove the cord or ball chain and;
B. prevent a loop of 220mm or longer from being formed.
If a cleat is used to secure the cord or ball chain, it must be at least 1600mm above floor level because a
child is capable of unwinding cord or ball chain from a cleat.
