STANDARD HARDWARE
OPTIONAL HARDWARE
Included in your order is all the hardware necessary for a
normal installation. Depending on the mounting surface,
fasteners other than the screws provided may be required.
Wall board and plaster require the use of anchors such as
expansion or toggle bolts. Bricks, tile and stone need special
plugs and drill bits. Wood should always be pre-drilled to
avoid splitting.
Professional installation is also available in most areas,
call 800-800-3329.
A few simple tools are required:
Arch Support Clip(s)
with Screw(s)
INSIDE MOUNT
• Your half arch has been
shipped in the closed
position. When fanned, the
rails will form a 90 degree
angle. Note that the vertical
rail is shorter than the
horizontal rail.
• Install brackets 1/4" in from
the front edge and equally
spaced on the vertical and
horizontal sides of the
window opening.
• Before fanning the shade,
install the bottom rail onto
the horizontal mounting clips
by hooking the groove at
the front of the rail into the
mounting bracket hooks and
rotate into place.
• Fan the shade so that
the vertical rail rests upon the
horizontal rail. Attach
the vertical rail to the
vertical brackets.
• Position one arch support
clip at the center portion of
the arch opening so that the
clip holds a cell of the fabric.
Install the arch support clip
with a screw through the
top of the clip. If required,
space additional clips evenly
along the arch. Place the
appropriate cell of fabric into
the arch support bracket(s).

attached out of the bottom
rail until the arch is even with
the end of the bottom rail.

You will be using your assembled arch top with mounting
brackets attached to the bottom rail to mark the position of
the brackets on your wall or molding.
An inside mount shade with an arch top requires a special
type of installation to keep the shade and the arch in close
proximity to each other. This type of installation requires an
end mount bracket system.

SHADE OPERATION
Follow “Standard Shade” instructions above for shade
operation. This shade is different because it has two sets of
cords. One set of cords controls the center rail the other Is for
the bottom rail.
Follow “Standard Shade” instructions above for shade
operation. This shade is slightly different because it has one
set of cords that control the center rail only. The bottom rail is
always in the down position.
STANDARD SHADE
TOP DOWN BOTTOM UP
TOP DOWN
• To raise the shade, pull the draw cords down.
• To engage the lock, pull the cords down and toward the
outside of the shade.
• To lower the shade, pull the draw cords down and toward
the center of the shade and allow the cords to slide slowly
though your hand.
LEVEL THE BOTTOM RAIL (IF NECESSARY)
Level the Bottom Rail (If Necessary)
• Shades use a system that allows easy leveling of the bottom
rail. It is designed to make slight adjustments (Less than 1")
to level the moving rails of your shade. It is not designed to
make length adjustments. Use a flat head screwdriver or a
coin (a quarter works best) to turn the adjustment screw in
the bottom rail to raise or lower that side of the bottom rail.
• One quarter turn of the screw will move the bottom rail up
or down approximately 1/4".
• Over-turning the adjustment screw (more than 1" of
adjustment) can cause the cord to tangle or wedge inside
the rail. The screw should turn easily - Do Not Force.
SHADE REMOVAL
Draw the shade completely up. (See “Shade Operation”)
Push shade rail back and rotate the back of the shade down
to release.
• Rotate the back of the headrail down and carefully lift the
headrail off of the front hooks of the mounting brackets.

Young children can STRANGLE in cord and bead chain loops
and in the loop(s) above the cord connector. They can also
wrap cords around their necks and STRANGLE.
• Always keep cords and bead chains out of children’s reach.
• Move cribs, playpens, and other furniture away from cords
and bead chains. Children can climb furniture to get to cords.
ANSI/WMCA A100.1-2012 5.2.3
WARNING
Be aware that it is possible for children to strangle in window
covering cords. To reduce the occurrence of accident, all cords
must be kept out of the reach of children, including infants. Cord
cleats are an effective way to implement this essential precaution.
Mount the cord cleat at a safe height, taking
into account furniture or other objects upon
which a child may climb. Then after each use
of the shade, simply wrap the excess cord
around the cleat. It's fast, easy and safe.
To protect your children, we are pleased to
provide cord cleats free of charge with every
shade that we manufacture.
