5. Mount the centre support bracket(s) (L).
If top mounting, align the top of the centre support bracket (L) to the top of the mounting
brackets (E). Install centre support bracket (L) by screwing into top of bracket. Ensure position of
centre support bracket (L) does not interfere with the ladder cords of the blind.
If face fixing, align the top of the centre support bracket (L) into the back of the mounting
brackets (E). Ensure position of centre support bracket (L) does not interfere with the ladder cords
of the blind.

INSTALLING CHILD SAFETY DEVICE
To avoid creating a possible strangulation hazard for children, the corded internal window covering must be installed in
such a way that a loose cord cannot form a loop 220mm or longer at a height of less than 1600mm above floor level. Attach
cleat to the window frame using screws provided at least 1600mm above floor. Ensure cords are fully wrapped around cleat
at all times. Check cords periodically to ensure that have not twisted together to form a loop. DO NOT TIE CORDS
TOGETHER.
Note: Blinds 105cm wide and above will require centre support bracket(s) (L) to be installed.
2. Taking into consideration the chosen method of mounting, position mounting brackets (E) at
each end of the window frame and using a pencil, mark to correspond with the measurement taken
in step 1.
3. Pre-drill screw holes.
4. Fix the mounting brackets (E) with a screwdriver. Do not tighten screws until the brackets are

case an outside face mount is the best option.

WARNING - INDIVIDUAL TASSEL CORDS
These individually tasseled cords reduce the strangulation hazard in the pull cord by
removing the loop. Do not tie the cords together.Check cords periodically to make
sure the cords have not twisted into a loop.This device will not prevent strangulation
if young children wrap pull cords around their necks. Always keep cords out of the reach
of young children.
!
WARNING
Young children have died by wrapping loose curtain
and blind cords or chains around their necks.
Secure cords or chains with cord guides or keep
them out of reach by winding them around a cleat.
Move cots and furniture away from window
covering cords or chains.
!
WARNING – CLEATS
Cleats should be mounted at least 1600mm above the floor, so as to keep cords out of
the reach of young children. Cords must be fully wrapped around the cleat at all times.
Always keep cords out of the reach of young children.

LIFTING NOTICE
THIS IS A WIDE AND HEAVY BLIND. DUE TO ITS WEIGHT IT IS NOT SUITABLE TO BE REPEATEDLY LIFTED. THIS BLIND IS FOR SHADING PURPOSES, THE SLATS
CAN BE TILTED TO ADJUST LIGHT AS DESIRED. WHEN RAISING THIS BLIND ANOTHER PERSON SHOULD ASSIST BY LIFTING THE BOTTOMBAR/RAIL OF THE BLIND
USING BOTH HANDS WHILST LIFT CORD IS BEING PULLED DOWNWARD. ENSURE THE CORD IS LOCKED INTO POSITION BEFORE LETTING GO OF THE BOTTOM
OF THE BLIND.
HOW TO SHORTEN THE LENGTH OF YOUR BLIND
1. Unpack blind from box. Using draw cords, open blind to full length and lie flat on a clean surface.
2. Place a metal tape measure along the side edge of the blind to determine your new length required. Mark the slat directly
under your desired length.
3. Using a flat head screwdriver or point nose pliers, carefully pull each of the end caps out of the base bar.
4. Unknot the cords that come through the bottom bar and carefully remove the base bar from the bottom of the blind.
5. Then remove the unwanted slats by pulling the slats off the cords, ensuring the marked slat is the
last slat to be removed.
6. Using scissors, cut all cords to suit the new length of the blind. The ladder cords will require an
additional 5cm and the draw cords will need sufficient length to make a knot at the end of the cord.
7. Carefully re-install the bottom bar by sliding the cords through the holes in the bottom bar. Tie a
knot in the draw cords so they cannot go back through the holes.
8. Neatly tuck the knots of the draw cords and ladder cords into the bottom bar holes. Insert the end
caps ensuring they are pushed in fully and hide all the ends of the cords.
9. You may need to adjust the length of the draw cords to suit the new blind length. This is simply
done by sliding the acorn up the cord, cutting the cord to suit. Re-tie the cords and slide acorn over
knot.
10. The blind is now ready to be installed.
