Shade Height Adjustment
Shade height and adjustments to level the bottom rail can be made by
adjusting the cord on the underside of the bottom rail. Locate the ferrule,
seated in a pocket in the bottom rail. Remove the ferrule by pulling
on the excess cord. If the cord has been trimmed, you will need to use
needlenose pliers to access it.
■
To shorten the cord, hold the cord tight under the ferrule. Then slide
the ferrule up toward the pocket. Image
■
To lengthen the cord, hold the cord tight between the pocket and the
ferrule. Then slide the ferrule down.
■
After adjusting, place the ferrule fully back into the pocket. Once
you are certain of the final adjustments, tape the extra cord length
to the bottom rail, or into the groove on the bottom rail (for future
adjustments).
■
If the ferrule has come of the cord, thread the end of the cord into the
tapered end of the ferrule. Loop the end around the ferrule and back
through the tapered end. Make sure the loop fits into the groove on the
side of the ferrule.
