Importance of Limit Stops on Silhouette Window 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 22 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.
