Prepare for the Installation
■Wipe and clean the mounting surface with isopropyl alcohol.
WARNING: A clean mounting surface is required for proper adhesion. Failure to
properly prepare the mounting surface may result in injury or property damage.
■Peel back
3
/ 4 " of adhesive backing from the back of the
side tracks.
■Adhere end caps to the back of the side tracks.
■Insert the track clip into the side tracks.
➤With the end caps on the bottom, the track clips should face inward toward each other.
NOTE: For Top-Down/Bottom-Up shades, insert two clips into each track.
■Slide the track clips until they rest on the end caps.

Attach the Side Tracks
WARNING: Adhesive on the back of the side tracks is to be placed onto the
mounting surface one time only. Do not attempt to remove and re-apply the side
tracks. The adhesive will not provide full mounting strength once removed and
re-applied. If the side tracks are removed, new adhesive must be used. Failure to
properly use the side track adhesive may result in injury or property damage.
IMPORTANT: Do not remove the adhesive backing yet.
■Test fit the side tracks and check to ensure both
tracks are true vertical, using a level.
➤The side tracks must be installed so that there
is at least
1
/ 8 " space for the mounting bracket
between the top of the side track and any
obstruction above the side tracks.
➤If the side tracks are installed outside of the
window opening, center the headrail over the
window opening at the desired height. Use a
pencil to lightly mark the mounting surface at
each end of the headrail. Make additional marks
along the tracks, if needed.
➤If the side tracks are not vertical, mark on the
mounting surface so that the tracks are installed
perfectly vertical.
■Remove the adhesive backing from the left side track.
■Starting from the bottom, attach the left side track
to the left side of the window opening.
➤Be sure the track is perfectly vertical.
➤The rail clip should point to the right, as shown.

Attach the Mounting Brackets
■Attach a rubber pad to the back of each mounting
bracket, below the rivet head.
■Starting with the left side, insert the lip of the left
mounting bracket into the track.
■Rotate the mounting bracket until the back of the bracket
touches the mounting surface.
■While supporting the mounting bracket with one hand,
push the bracket upwards to eliminate any gap remaining,
then secure the bracket to the track using the provided set
screw and
3
/ 32 " Allen wrench.
NOTE: The bracket is not locked to the side track until the
shade is installed.
■Repeat for the right side.

Install the Shade
■Insert the front channel on top of the headrail onto the front
lip of the mounting brackets.
■Rotate the headrail up and back until it snaps into place.
■Check to ensure the headrail is securely in the brackets.
➤Check that the bottom of the headrail is snapped into
the base of each bracket.
➤Check that the front lip of each bracket is in the front
channel of the headrail.
■Lower the bottom rail and snap the rail clips onto the side track clips. Adjust the rail clip
positioning on the bottom rail to align with the track clips.
➤For Top-Down/Bottom-Up shades, snap the rail clips on both the middle and bottom rails
onto the track clips.
The back of the headrail
snaps into the bracket.
The front of the bracket
fits under the groove.

Level the Rail(s), If Necessary
■Lift the bottom rail to locate the pockets on the
underside of the rail.
➤For the middle rail on Top-Down/Bottom-Up
shades, the pockets are on the top side of
the rail.
■Gently pull down on the bottom rail (or up on the
middle rail) to fully insert the
7
/ 64 " Easy Adjust™
key into the pocket. The key is fully inserted
when the base of the key abuts to the pocket.
➤Lift up the rail slightly before turning the
Easy Adjust key. Turn the key clockwise
to raise that side of the rail, or counter-
clockwise to lower it.
➤One quarter turn of the key equals
approximately
1
/ 4 ".
IMPORTANT: The Easy Adjust key must
be fully inserted to avoid stripping the
mechanism. Do not pull down on the rail
while turning the key.
■If there are more than two pockets, adjust the outer pockets first. Then adjust inner pockets
as necessary, to maintain equal tension across the rail. As pocket adjustments are made, it
is recommended that the shade be raised and lowered to check that it is level.
