If using Guide Track or Side Channels, you must insert
the hembar into the Track/Channel prior to this step.
Guide the cord to the cable guides you previously
attached to the hembar, sliding the cord through the
first cable guide below the spool, then the second and
then back up to the second wire spool, so that the
cord makes a rectangle.
Wrap the cord around the spool the same amount as
you did the first, and secure it through the hole on the
wire spool using a double knot as previous. Leaving
2”-3” extra, you may trim the cord length at this time.
Adjust the position of the cable guides so that they are
placed directly below each spool and so the hembar
is parallel to both the top and bottom tubes. Lock the
cable guides in place by using an Allen wrench.
It may be easier to remove the cable guides from the hembar, thread the cord through
them and reinser t them into the channel on the hembar.
PRO TIP
7. Adjusting the Spring Tension
The spring must be pre-wound using our Spring Tensioning
Tool. Gently remove the bottom band from the brackets and
attach the tool to the spring to the projection on the spring.
Turning CLOC KWISE, turn the tool 10 times. Reinstall the
shade in the brackets.
You may now test the operation of the shade by raising it all
the way up and all the way down.
While in the up position, make any necessar y adjustments to
the cable guides so that they aligned properly with the spools,
The cord should be perfectly perpendicular to the hembar
and the tube. If it is at an angle, this will cause unnecessar y
strain on the cord and could possibly cause it to break.
While the shade is traveling down, make sure that there is
enough tension so that the fabric stays taught and rolls up
on the tube nice and tight. If there is not enough tension you
may make some additional turns to the spring to provide more
torque but do NOT over-wind the spring. DO NOT EXC EED 15
TURNS.
8. S etting the “Limits”
*For Manual Shades: To “set the limits”- Roll the shade to the “up” position. Identify
the bead on the chain that is located just below the clutch. Wrap one of the matching
Bead Stops, located in the hardware box, around the bead and squeeze it shut with
pliers. Extend the shade to the “down” position and repeat this step on the other side
of the chain.
*For Motorized Shades: Motor limit setting will vary depending on the communication
type. Contact WT Shade for information about motor programming.
