tab only on the installation brackets.
NOTE: Save these tabs once removed. They may be used as
shims, if necessary.
Mount the Installation Brackets

■Decide whether the front or back set of installation bracket holes works best in your
application. (The front set is the preferred location.) Mark the location of the screwholes.
➤The minimum depth required for mounting is 1".
➤The fully recessed mounting depth is 3
3
/ 4
".
➤If using the optional back cover, an additional

"
mounting depth is required.
IMPORTANT: The front edges of the installation brackets
must be level and aligned to eachother.
WARNING: Failure to properly align the brackets
could result in the headrail releasing from the
brackets.

■Drill the screw holes using a
3

the back cover brackets. If necessary, trim the back cover
