SHADE DOES NOT ROLL STRAIGHT
All shades are hung and inspected in the factory to ensure a straight roll. All spring roller shades should be pulled
from the center of the bottom of the shade. Pulling the shade from the sides can cause the shade to roll crooked and
possible damage the material. Masking tape used on the roller will act as a shim. Use the following instructions to
correct.
If shade veers toward the right (Fig. A) lower completely and place a 4” strip of masking tape on the
roller on the left side. Repeat as necessary until a
straight roll is achieved.
If shade veers toward the left (Fig. B) lower shade
