  3. Take other end of cord and feed up through and around end pulley 3.  Pull across rod and around end pulley 4 back to overlap master carrier position 5.  Determine final cord length.  Tie off cord at position 5 and cut away excess cord.
  4. Center master slides.  Take the top cord and secure at position 6 on the underlap master carrier.
  5. For a one way rod the underlap master carrier is not used.  All other steps remain the same.
