Thank you bro, found a few vids on this item but this was by far the most simple and efficient one. Didn't even need to open the paper manual.

Glad I could help

You missed a step, reloading the spring in the opposite direction. If you don't do that blind just drops as soon as you hang it

Hi, Ergo, no need to use a hammer that will break the plastic clips as shown in your video, to separate the "roller" from the control bar, please use a flat driver to push into the gap between the control stick and the "roller". The two parts will be separated; you can keep the plastic parts intact which helps the axle rotation smoothly. It is a shame that I can not post pictures here.

Thanks for the advice, Howard! I was a bit too hasty when detaching the clips.

thanks, Ergo, it looks simple to do; my only question is according to the video kzbin.info/www/bejne/bJDUgmyBasd5p6c; the spring needs to rewind in a different direction, however, your film did not mention anything about this, is rewinding the spring can be ignored? thanks again for the confirmation

[@ergobuilds]

No need to rewind the spring. Simply move it from left to right, and it works fine for me.

@@ergobuilds thanks, not sure why he needs to rewind the spring.

[@linkehand.]

Just installed the blinds and you absolutely have to rewind the spring otherwise it won't stay open but roll itself out completely.

[@howard1wang]

@@linkehand. strange to me, i did not rewind the spring, just move it from left to right, and it works well

[@howard1wang]

when i moved it from left to right, i had the blinds roll up completely and the control bar is in it is shortest position, not sure if this make any difference?
