Parts Needed

Cord Loop

Step 1 – Remove the shade from the window, and lay it on a flat surface.

Step 2 – Remove the clutch assembly from the headrail.

The assembly should pull straight out from the headrail. You can use a small thin butter knife or screwdriver to pry it out if necessary.

Step 3 – Remove the cover from the clutch assembly.

Push the cover up to slide it away from the assembly.

Step 4 – Remove the cord retainer clip.

Lift up on the tab at the top to unclip this part.

Step 5 – Remove and replace the cord loop.

Guide the cord loop into the teeth on the gear wheel of the clutch. Pull the cord loop around until it is fully engaged and goes around the entire gear.
Hold the clutch by the back area where it inserts into the headrail of the shade while you put the loop on.

Step 6 – Replace the cord retainer clip and clutch cover.

Starting at the bottom of the clutch, line up the clip and snap it onto the clutch.
Slide the clutch cover down over the clutch.

Step 7 – Reattach the clutch to the headrail.

The EasyRise clutch has three bumps that line up with the corresponding notches on the metal rod inside the headrail.
Line up the notches on the rod with the bumps on the clutch. Insert the clutch into the headrail.
