Please read all instructions before you start so you will be

Getting Started
Remove the Smartroll shades from the packaging. Keep the
packaging until you have successfully installed the shades.
TOOLS REQUIRED
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 shades. 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.

on the right side.
Pay particular attention to Steps 2/7 through 7/7 in this video.
Step 1/7 has already been completed at the factory.
NOTE:
The following directions are based on a standard roll
shade. For a reverse roll shade, simply turn the shade
around.
The spring drive wheel for a standard shade installation
will be on the right side and the brake wheel will be on
the left side.
If the shade is turned around, the spring drive wheel will
be on the left side and the brake wheel will be on the
right side.
Mounting the Shades
STEP 1 - BRACKET INSTALLATION.
Attach the brackets to the wall. Use a pencil to mark the
drilling points and a level to keep a proper horizontal
position.
Attach them to the wall with the 4 screws provided.
See photos below.
STEP 2 - ROLLER SHADE INSTALLATION.
Attach the roller shade to the brackets by slipping the pins
into the notches.

STEP 3 - ADJUST THE SHADE SPEED.
Adjust the speed at which the shade will rise. The shade
speed is set at the factory. However, the selected speed
may be too slow or the tension may have loosened during
shipping.
To make an adjustment, locate the spring drive wheel on
the right side of the shade. Hold shade with the left hand
and turn the spring drive wheel counter-clockwise. This will
tighten the tension on the shade to help it roll faster.
IMPORTANT!
DO NOT TURN the
wheel more than
21 FULL REVOLUTIONS.
STEP 4 - SETTING THE UPPER LIMIT STOP.
This is the location where the shade will stop when raised.
Simply raise the shade to the desired stopping location
by turning the brake wheel on the left side of the shade.
Nothing more is required.
STEP 3 - ADJUST THE SHADE SPEED (continued).
Note: There is a at surface on the wheel to help in counting
of the revolutions. If the tension is too tight, lift the right pin
only out of the bracket, and the tension will release.

the shade from loosing its set position.
STEP 7 - INSTALL THE BRACKET COVERS.
The bracket covers are universal, and can be used on either
side.
Simply snap onto the brackets for a clean, professional,
nished look! You are done!
STEP 5 - ALIGN THE HOLES.
There are 5 holes at the end of the brake wheel. Rotate the
shade until the holes line up with the holes on the bracket.
Operating your Smartroll Shades
Unlike the typical spring shade, a Smartroll shade requires a
minimal ¹⁄₄” tug. No need to pull hard or long. A gentle tug
will do the trick!
It will rise and stop to the exact location set in STEP 4. No
more y-away shade that will bang against the window!
No cords or hazardous chains. Trouble-free and secure use.
