Drill a small hole in the center of the bottom rail to slip hold-down pin (extending from hold-down bracket) into blind.

22 Troubleshooting Care & Cleaning and Safety PROBLEM My blind doesn t lift. My blind will raise and lower but will not tilt. My blind raises unevenly. My slats are hanging out of alignment. My inside mounted blind slides back and forth between the brackets when operated. The cords are hanging out of the bottom rail. One side of the blind does not raise. The motor does not work SOLUTION Check to make sure cord is not caught in headrail. If hold down clips were used, make sure they have been released. Your brackets may be mounted too close to the top of the window casement, causing the tilt mechanism to bind. If your blind has decorative cloth tapes, use the shims provided to lower the blind. Or Check inside the headrail for obstructions. Make sure all of the slats are laying properly on the ladders. Raise blind to the up position, open the tassel, untie the knots on the cords, even out the cords, then re-tie the knots and reassemble the tassel. Lower the blind completely. While firmly holding the bottom rail, gently tug on the lift cords until the slats are even. Using a screwdriver, bend out the adjustable end tabs on the sides of the headrail. The bottom rail buttons may be broken or missing. If broken, you can remove the broken pieces with needle nose pliers; call customer service for replacement buttons. Make sure the lift cords are still fastened to the bottom rail. If they are not please call customer service for assistance. Or Look inside the headrail to make sure that cords are not caught on or under something. 1. Check that the power source and motor are connected properly. 2.
