FASTENER NOTES
For outside mount, it is best to attach the bracket to wood
studs. If this is not possible, you will need to purchase special
fasteners (see illustration below for examples).
Here are some HELPFUL TIPS:
• If you are using a special fastener, make sure it is
designed to support the weight of the clutch and shade.
Follow the fastener manufacturer’s instructions carefully.
• When drilling into drywall or plaster, use a fastener
designed for hollow wall applications (see illustration).
• When drilling into concrete, stone, brick, or tile, use
appropriate plugs, anchors, or screws (not included).
• When drilling into metal, the included screws are sufcient.
Pre-drill ¹⁄₈” holes.

Mounting the Shade and Clutch
STEP 1 - INSTALLING THE BRACKETS.
The brackets are universal and can be used on either side
as well as for wall, ceiling or inside installation.
The bracket to bracket dimension is the shade cloth width
plus 1³⁄₈”. Use a level to ensure a horizontal position.
STEP 2 - INSTALLING THE SHADE.
a. Begin by installing the idler end rst.
There is a transit clip on the idler end of the shade. The
transit clip should be positioned either straight up and
down, or horizontal, in order to line up the idler plunger of
the idler end with the cross shaped hole in the bracket.
See illustrations below.
b. Once the idler end is seated, REMOVE the TRANSIT CLIP.
Save this clip as it will be reinstalled in Step 2d.
STEP 2 - INSTALLING THE SHADE (continued).
c. Slip the CCO end into the bracket.
While keeping the idler end in position, lift the shade up
into the bracket and align the CCO end pin into the
middle of the cross shaped hole.
Gently slide in place and pull down to lock in place.
STEP 3 - SET THE LOWER LIMIT/STOP POSITION.

Then pinch the bead chain at this point on the front of the
clutch, and place one of the bead chain stops here.
One extra bead chain stop is provided in case a change
must be made.

d. Remember to slip the transit clip back onto the idler end.
The transit clip locks the spring-loaded idler end of a roller
shade, so that it cannot retract. It also prevents the roller
shade from slippping out of its brackets during shipment.
