Importance of Limit Stops on Window Shadings
Limit stops serve as the upper travel limit for the bottom rail, preventing it from
rotating around the fabric roll. Limit stops are located 6" from the ends of the
headrail or are centered on shadings less than 36" wide.
When a shading is made, the limit stops are adjusted according to the size of the
fabric roll. Occasionally, this adjustment changes during shipping or installation.
If this happens, problems can be fixed by readjusting the limit stops. See page 12
in the Troubleshooting section if shading operation is difficult or if the bottom rail
rotates around the fabric roll. Shown below are the four possible positions of limit
stops for large to small fabric rolls.
