Adjusting shade tension
Step 1: If you notice that the cords are loose. Check the gap between the front of Headrail and Bottomrail and the front side of the Retainer Track. If the spacing isn't uniform, loosen mounting brackets and adjust as necessary.
Step 2: Now you will need to adjust the tension in each cord using the Tension Bolts. Start by raising the Middle Rail up to the Top rail compressing the fabric tightly.
Note: This will insure the leveling of the Middle Rail.
Step 3: While holding the Middle Rail, start tightening one of the Tensioning Bolts clockwise using a flat head screwdriver. Turn Tension Bolt until all slack is removed, but cord isn't tight. Repeat for opposite side.
Note: When tightening, the Tension Bolt should not be able to turn back. If it does turn back, tighten the bolt on the back side slightly or till Tension Bolt no longer turns back.
