Step 1: MOUNTING HARDWARE INCLUDED
PLEASE FOLLOW THESE INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Step 2: mount the brackets
INSIDE MOUNTING
One bracket should be positioned about 2” to 6” from each end of the head rail. For wider shades that
require three or four brackets, these should be spaced evenly between the two outermost brackets.
Attach each bracket to the inner top of the window opening using the screws provided. Pre-drill the
screw holes using a 5/64” drill bit. e extension brackets are not used for inside mounts.
For ush inside mounts, attach the brackets to the head rail rst (see drawings and attachment
instructions below), and then position the shade in the window opening as desired. en make pencil
marks at the back of each bracket. Remove the brackets by pressing on the plastic tab. Align the
brackets with the pencil marks, and then screw them in place as described above.

OUTSIDE MOUNTING
Attach the Extension Brackets to the wall or window framing. One bracket should be positioned about
2” to 6” from each end of the head rail. For wider shades that require three or four brackets, these
should be spaced evenly between the two outermost brackets. Pre-drill the screw holes using a 5/64”

Step 3: SECURE thE HEAD RAIL
Step 4: INSTALL THE TENSION DEVICE
A. Lower the shade.
B. Hold the Tension Device upright so the Warning Tag hangs straight
down as shown in diagram.
C. Position the Tension Device on the window frame or the wall so that
the Tension Device and control cord do not interfere with raising or
lowering the shade. e Tension Device should be installed without
stretching or pulling down on the control cord. Stretching the cord will
cause excessive wear. Do not twist or cross the control cord. If using
stop balls, position the Tension Device ¼inch higher to allow the stop
ball to pass through the Tension Device.
D. Holding the Tension Device upright, and in position, as shown, insert
and secure the screw through the hole. e mounting screw must be
secured into a solid surface or molly.
To adjust head rail extension, remove the shade from the
mounting brackets by pressing on the plastic tabs at the
front of each bracket. en loosen the nut and bolt, and
move the mounting brackets forward or backward as
preferred.
Slide the inner rear of the head rail onto
the metal tabs at the back of each bracket,
and then push up so that the brackets
snap onto the head rail.
IMPORTANT FINAL STEP TO PROPERLY SECURE BRACKETS: Pull the plastic tab on the front of each
bracket outward toward the front of the shade to lock the brackets in place. For inside-mounts use pliers to
grasp the tabs. Check carefully to assure that each bracket is properly secured

Step 5: USE THE CONTROL CORD TO OPERATE SHADE
Pulling gently on the cord in one direction raises the shade; pulling it in the other direction lowers it.
On shades where the fabric rolls against the window, the front cord does the raising. On shades where
the fabric rolls toward the room, the rear cord does the raising.
