Importance of Limit Stops on Silhouette and Nantucket 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 21 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 three steps:
STEP 1: Mount the Installation Brackets
STEP 2: Install the Shading
STEP 3: Connect the Power Source
STEP 1 — Mount the Installation Brackets
■Your order will include the correct number of installation brackets for your shading width, as
shown in the table below.
■Shading orders may also include spacer blocks or extension brackets, if they were specified
for added clearance.
➤Extension brackets are used for end mount shadings, as well.
■Two-On-One Headrail Shadings. Appropriate number of installation brackets are provided
for each panel.
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 the mounting type chosen for your order:

Mount the Installation Brackets — Inside Mount
Prepare the Installation Brackets
■If using the optional back cover: Use pliers or heavy-
duty scissors to remove both the top and bottom tabs
on the installation brackets.
➤If you have a satellite battery pack or DC power
supply, remove the top tab on the back cover
brackets. If you have a battery wand, do not
remove the top tab.
➤Snap the prongs on the back cover brackets into
the holes on the back of the installation brackets.
■If not using the optional back cover:
➤If you have a battery wand, leave both tabs on the installation brackets. The top tab
ensures that there is clearance for the wand.
➤If you have a satellite battery pack or DC power supply, remove the top tab only on the
installation brackets.
NOTE: Save these tabs once removed. They may be used as shims, if necessary.
Mount the Installation Brackets
■Measure and mark end bracket locations 2" in from each jamb.
➤If more than two installation brackets are required (see table on page 3), mark the
location of additional bracket(s) spaced evenly between the two end bracket locations.
Mount into wood whenever possible. Allow a minimum of 18" from the motor side
for the battery wand.
■Two-On-One Headrail shadings: Place installation brackets 3" on each side of the
panel split.

■Decide whether the front or back set of installation bracket holes works best in your
application. Mark the location of the screw holes.
➤The minimum depth required for mounting is 2" with a
battery wand and a back cover.
➤Minimum depth is 1
1
/ 4
"with a satellite battery pack or
DC power supply and back cover.
➤The depth required for fully recessed mounting will vary
depending on the type of headrail and vane size. Refer
to the chart below for depth requirements.
IMPORTANT: The front edges of the installation brackets must be level and aligned.
WARNING: Failure to properly align the brackets could result in the headrail
releasing from the brackets.
■Drill the screw holes using a
3
/ 32 " drill bit.
CAUTION: Use drywall anchors when mounting into drywall.
■Use a level to check that the mounting surface is level. If necessary, you can shim the
brackets using the top tabs that were removed from the brackets.
■Attach the installation brackets using the screws provided.
IMPORTANT: Do not overtighten the screws. Check to ensure the
lever can be moved easily side to side. If not, loosen the screws in
one-eighth turn increments until the lever can be moved easily.
■If using the optional back cover: Install the cover into
the back cover brackets. If necessary, trim the back cover
to the desired width.
IMPORTANT: If using a battery wand, do not install the
optional back cover until the wand is installed (see page 12).
Proceed to “STEP 2 — Install the Shading” on page10.

Mount the Installation Brackets
■Center the headrail over the window opening at the desired height. Use a pencil to lightly
mark each end of the headrail.
➤Alternatively, measure the width of the headrail and use that width to mark the headrail
end points over the window opening.
■Mark 2" in from each of the headrail end marks.
➤If more than two installation brackets are required (see table on page 3), mark the
location of additional bracket(s) spaced evenly between the two end bracket locations.
Mount into wood whenever possible. Allow a minimum of 18" from the motor side
