GETTING STARTED
Thank you for purchasing Hunter Douglas Silhouette®window shadings. With proper installation,
operation, and care, your new shadings will provide years of beauty andperformance.
Please thoroughly review this instruction booklet before beginning the installation. If your
shading has a protective plastic cover on the fabric-covered headrail, keep the plastic in place
until the shading is installed.

Importance of Limit Stops on Silhouette Window Shadings
Limit stops serve as the upper travel limit for the bottom rail, preventing it from rotating
around the fabric roll. Limit stops are located 6" from the ends of the headrail or are
centered on shadings less than 36" wide.
When a shading is made, the limit stops are adjusted according to the size of the fabric
roll. Occasionally, this adjustment changes during shipping or installation. If this happens,
problems can be fixed by readjusting the limit stops. See page 20 in the Troubleshooting
section if shading operation is difficult or if the bottom rail rotates around the fabric roll.
Shown below are the four possible positions of limit stops for large to small fabric rolls.
Large Fabric Roll Small Fabric Roll

Installation Overview
To install your shading, you will need to perform the following four steps:
STEP 1: Mount the Installation Brackets
STEP 2: Install the Shading
STEP 3: PowerView™Only: Connect the Power Source
STEP 4: Install the Optional Back Cover (If Applicable)
STEP 1: Mount the Installation Brackets
 The number of installation brackets required
varies with shading width, as shown in thetable.
Mounting Types and Window Terminology
If the installation brackets are mounted correctly, the rest of the installation process follows
easily. To prepare for this important first step, review the mounting types and basic window
terminology illustrated below.
 Refer to the appropriate page below based on your order:

Mount the Installation Brackets — Inside Mount
 Mark 2" from each jamb for bracket location.
 If more than two installation brackets came with your order, space additional bracket(s)
between the two end brackets and mark their location. Mount into wood whenever
possible.
 For PowerView™shadings with battery wand, allow a minimum of 17" between bracket
centerlines for the battery wand.
 Determine whether or not to remove one or both tabs from the installation brackets.
 If using the optional back cover, use pliers to remove both tabs
from the installation brackets.
 For PowerView shadings with battery wand without a back cover,
leave both tabs on the brackets. The top tab helps ensure that
there is clearance for the wand.
 For all other shadings without a back cover, use pliers to remove the top tab only.
 Save any removed top tabs for use as shims when needed.
 Review the minimum depth requirements in the table below.
 Center the installation brackets on your marks and mark the location of the screwholes.
 Allow sufficient rear clearance when positioning the brackets. With no back cover, the
bottom tab provides the necessary clearance (
1
/ 4 ") for all systems except PowerView
with battery wand, which requires
7
/ 8 " rear clearance. (Rear clearance is the distance
between the back of the installation bracket and the glass or frame.) Add an extra
1
/ 4 " of
rear clearance if the optional back cover is used.
 After positioning the bracket, determine whether the front or
rear set of bracket holes is closer to the center of the casement.
Mark the location of the correct pair of holes.
