Roller Shade
(Chain Operated Clutch)
Installation Instructions
Step 5: Set the Bottom Bead Stop
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) down until the bead stop ball on the
chain loop stops at the shade bracket and the shade hembar is approximately ½”
above the window sill.
Raising the Shade
Pull the front chain (furthest from the window) down until the bead stop ball on the
chain loops stops at the shade bracket and the shade hembar is at the top of the
window. The shade hembar should hang just below the roller.
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 unnecessary 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.

An additional metal bead stop is sent with each shade. This bead stop is used to
prevent the shade from being lowered past its ordered drop (also known as the
bottom limit). Lower the shade to the bottom of the window opening. Once the
shade is at the bottommost point, the bead stop needs to be placed over the
control chain.
For regular roll shades, place the bead stop in front of the clutch mechanism so that
the chain cannot be pulled from the back any further. For reverse roll shades, place
the bead stop in back of the clutch mechanism so that the chain cannot be pulled
from the front any further. With a pair of pliers, squeeze the bead stop so that it
cannot be removed.
