How do you install the spring tension device for the cord? No pictures/instructions came with it. The cord is very long.

James, I chose not to use the spring tension device so I cannot help you in how to install it. Maybe you can get an answer by contacting Levolor. Ron

After you shorten the chords at the center of the rod by pulling the chord and knotting them, you should have a loop that hangs done one side of the rod. put the loop into the tension device and attach the device to the wall where you want it with a screw through the hole in the device. It you decide that you want the device higher up the wall ( i.e., out of reach of little ones) you can shorten the chord more from the middle of the rod and re-knot it.

I didn't use it. I just cut the cords off at a short convenient length and tied a knot on the ends. If you go that route, open and close them several times to make sure you know where to cut. Also children have been known to get tangled if they play with the cords, so I cut mine as short as possible and yet convenient. If the window is real wide and the cords have to be long, then I don't know.

I personally don't like spring tensioners. I didn't use mine. I just let the cords hang and trimed the cords to my liking.

There should be a screw hole at the top and the bottom of the spring tension device. It mounts directly to the wall with the push-button facing outwards. It is a little clunky when you install - not having any kids or animals that might get tangled in the cord, I ended up taking it off.

its easier to just use u-claps that squeezes the cable together after you loop it to get the lenght you need and just hang the rest on the hook at apposdite of the spring just in cas you need to move it and you end up needing more lenght thats what i did.otherwise you need a real good pair of bolt cutters to cut it and it can be tough

The tension knob should simply screw on, it may take a few tries, but if you align it carefully, it will screw on easily. Don't force it as that could damage the threads, gently does it!

I replaced both left and right sides, putting the new ones the same orientation as the old ones.When you apply tension, you should rotate it in the same direction that it is wound, the spring will get longer.I would suggest doing both sides at once.

Can't recall off the top of my head, but I think the instructions refer to adjusting the screw with the spring on / around it.

Mine came with instructions...have you tried searching for them online? I've found many missing instructions for stuff online.

They have instructions with photos on their website. If I recall correctly, you need a grinder or dremel to cut off the end of the cable, then it unscrews from the old part. You also have to drill out a couple rivets to disassemble the track to install this. If they forgot to add the instructions to your box, you can get them online. It sounds like a lot of work, but isn't bad and its a huge improvement over buying another unit that will break again in six months.

I have the exact same issue. I've tried everything I can think of but it doesn't seem to be removable. I just tie the cord together with a twist tie and use it with the cord dangling out the bottom.

Slide one side on to spring then use vise grips to clamp it down tight into place. The one that attach to the wooden part ot the chair remove old one use a small hammer and small nail to reattach it is not easy the spings r very tough u might use a zip tie to hold them in the right position good luck hope I was of some help. Any questions please let me know

Go to the web address of the manufacturer and download an instruction sheet. I didn't have much luck that device. I bought a different make.

The wire comes out of a metal shaft, you have to push that shaft in and pull the wire out at the same time, It is spring loaded. Hard to explain :)

Not easily. You need to screw the end until it is to the right width. It is not spring tension, more of a screw it until it in the right size/width that you need. It may work . . .

I don't know the "original" length of the spring, for it's installed now. However.... I think I know the problem you are having. My installation process was as follows: Installed the front of the spring first, then put the "U" clamps on ( lose fit.. double check the line-up on the hole & pin under the plate) then install the end of the spring in back. The last step is a challenge to say the least. Ended up using pinch (crow) bars with the help of a neighbor. Overall... very pleased with the quality of the product, but it was a bitch to install !!! Stick with it, and good luck.

The instructions in the manual should make it clear. I remember I had to use a little force with the springs.

I have had the same thing happen. Anyone have an answer to the original questoin (a diagram showing how the spring goes together)? Thanks

If you look towards the bottom of the pic you can see small wheels under where the springs are. You would turn them to increase or decrease the tension.

Mines came attached, not sure how to attach it. It should have come already attached, you may need to return it.
