Chain Operated Clutch Operating Instructions

It is strongly recommended to use two hands when
operating (raising or lowering) the shade.

Lowering the Shade

Pull the back chain (closest to the window glazing)
down until the bead stop ball on the chain loop stops at
the shade bracket and the shade hembar is approxi-
mately ½” above the window sill.

Raising the Shade

Pull the front chain (furthest from the window glazing)
down until the bead stop ball on the chain loop stops at
the shade bracket and the shade hembar is at the top
of the window.

Preventing Chain Breakage and Clutch Damage

It is important to always use two hands when pulling
on the bead chain. Pull the chain straight down. Do not
under any circumstances pull the bead chain at an
angle. Pulling the bead chain at an angle creates un-
necessary pressure and strain on the bead chain and
clutch. This action inhibits the intended operation of
the clutch and can cause the shade to break

When lowering the shade, do not let go of the bead
chain as this action can cause the shade to lower
quickly causing harm to the clutch or bead chain
breakage. Allowing the bead chain to glide through
the operators hands with gentle pressure assists in
controlling the speed at which the shade will lower or
raise.

(Exhibit 3 to the right indicates a left side chain control
with a regular roll shade.)

Installation of the Chain Safety Clip
To prevent chain breakage and clutch damage as
well as promoting product safety, it is imperative
that the Chain Safety Clip shipped with every chain
operated clutch shade be installed to the wall or
window mullion. The Chain Safety Clip should be
installed so that the bead chain and bead stop balls
move smoothly through the opening of the clip.
Each chain operated clutch operated roller shade is
shipped from the factory with the Chain Safety Clip
pre-installed on the bead chain. Removal of this
device or failure to properly install it, can cause
damage to the clutch lifting mechanism and will
result in the voidance of the product’s limited life-
time warranty.
