Model 100:

1. Lower shade to sill or floor

2. Unroll fabric on take-up roller

6. Remove the seal roller by lifting on one side then the other

7. Gently guide the fabric out of the track guides one side at a time

8. Pry each end of the batten open with a flat screw driver. Be careful not to tear the fabric. Once opened on  the end continue opening by hand

9. Slide the new batten over the shade fabric

10. Slide the bar stock (weight from old batten) with the friction strip facing away from the material into the slot in the batten underneath the fabric. Bar stock must be centered

11. Clamp together the batten with a pair of duck bill vise grips or channel lock pliers with several layers of tape on the jaws so as not to scratch the batten. Make sure it is lined up straight. You can count the welded patterns to help in the process

12. Take the fabric and carefully thread the end of the quilt side cord on one side into the top of the track guide about 2”. Make sure it does not snag on the track guide. Now thread the other side.

13. Gently lower about 6”
