Just received this and have NO clue how this works. Usually spring tension rods need no instructions. Help anyone?

You place it between the actual window ceal and adjust it tight enough to hold. It was very easy to use. Remember it doesn't go on outside of window. Inside only!

these are the worst tension rods I have ever seen. what you need to do is loosen the screw that holds the spring and adjust the rod. Once you have the right length then tighten the screw. Good luck because the screw doesn't hold very well. I ended up having to take duct tape and taping the rod in place

I understand that. But how do you adjust? Usually spring tension rods you just twist on each side to fit. What is the screw and coil for?

Mine came with instructions. Try contacting the company or checking out their web site.

It's the 'twist tension' tyype. My husband actually used the same type of pieces that the rod slips into that are screwed into the wall that were up for the old rod so we're not really having to depend on the tension to keep it in place.

Hey There,I don't believe mine came with any instructions either but it was pretty easy to figure out. What are you trying to adjust?

Had that same problem in the beginning. Just make sure the cable underneath is attached and you can adjusts the tension, just use your hands to make sure the cable is on wheel

Just push down and a little forward on the "V" shaped section which has little indention (looks like a small dot) on top of the device where the spring is located. It takes a bit to get the hang of it.

I don't know. I did not have that happen but turn the rod counterclockwise that might help to extend it. I did think it was weird the way you had to do it. I finally gave up and my husband finished with it.

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

it locks by holding the rod in place and turning it in the direction of the arrows on the rod. There is a little sticker on there that shows the direction to turn so it locks in place. Once you start tightening it - it will turn til it tightens. Then it stays in place and that's that unless you decide to replace it higher lower etc. But it stays put from the pressure of tightening it. hope that answers your question!

It is a super easy twist length rod (kind of like a shower curtain rod) - as you twist it it it extends and the pressure of the ends holds it up. Hope that helps!

there is a sliding set screw on the back of the rod (where you can't see it) that allows you to adjust the tension.

No, it is not a tension rod, though it is adjustable. You will have to drill holes in the walls.

Unscrew both the black knobs that attach the hydraulic cylinders to the rowing handles. Lower/raise to find the tension that works for you. I hope this helps!

i have the same question, can the factory provide some guidance? Several owners advised about the 50' reel spring not being strong enough to retract the cord properly. Thanks, Dave C

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

No. It works fine hanging from a tension rod. That's where mine hangs and I've had no problem with it. It's great!Marilyn Seaquist

Should be an allen wrench set scree on top...turn it to increase the tension...push down on the wrench while in screw to release all tension
