Realign Tilt Rod And Fabric Carriers
1. Remove the tilt rod fully (see Figure 7).
2. Slide the fabric carriers to the active end cap side(s) of
the rail (for side stack).
3. Align the tilt reduction pinion clips so that they are
parallel to the SofTrak™ rod (see Figure 9). The long
arm of the fabric carriers should face the right end of
the headrail.
NOTE: The backs of all fabric carriers must be
aligned. If a fabric carrier is not aligned, completely
rotate the pinion clip in both directions until it clicks
and realigns with the others.

CAUTION: The half-moon side must face the
front of the headrail for proper operation.

then slide the tilt drive gear onto the tilt rod (see

teeth of the tilt drive gear (see Figure 13); turn until it
is fully seated on the active end cap (see Figure 14).
