Scenario: One or more panels hang about 12-14’ lower than
the rest.
Usual cause: This is usually caused by having something in the way
of the travel of the shades. i.e.… something on sill, back of chair
close, Plant in the way…etc.
1. Remove the closure of the low panel to expose the shade tube by
moving the closure up and down gently while pushing it toward the
window until the it releases from its channel. This is a friction fit. (Fig.1)
2. Feed fabric and hembar over the top of the tube from front to back. You
will find each wrap will raise the fabric by 12-14” so if your fabric is
approx. 24” lower than the rest you will need to feed the fabric over the
top twice. Keep going until the panels re-align.
3. If your shade is very long you may find that it is too tight to feed the
hembar over the top in the fully open position. In this case I would
recommend rolling the shades down to the ½ way point before starting,
this will reduce the tube diameter and allow you more room to work
with.
4. After you have confirmed the panels are re-aligned I would recommend
running the shades up and down once to ensure they are correct. At
this point you can re-install the closure. Make sure there is nothing
impeding the travel of the shades.
5. Repeat this for all shades that are hanging lower.
