GETTING STARTED
Thank you for purchasing Hunter Douglas Silhouette®or Nantucket™window shadings.
With proper installation, operation, and care, your new shadings will provide years of beauty
andperformance.
Please thoroughly review this instruction booklet and the enclosed packing list 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.
Tools and Fasteners Needed

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
centred 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 17 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.

Installation Overview
■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. The appropriate number of brackets are provided for
each panel.
NOTE: UltraGlide®shadings come with a shipping clip installed to keep the tassel cord in place.
Do not remove the clip until the headrail is installed.
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.

cord loop down to lower
the shading.
■With the shading fully
lowered, continue to pull the
rear cord to tilt the bottom
rail and open the vanes.

Troubleshooting
Problem The shading will not snap into the installation brackets.
Solution Check that the installation brackets are aligned andlevel.
Check that the locking tab on the installation bracket slides over the headrail.
Problem The shading is hard to raise or lower, or will not raise or lower.
Solution Shadings cannot be forced into tight inside mount window openings. If an inside
mount, make sure there is clearance between the ends of the shading and the
window casement.
For LiteRise®only: If the vanes are open, be sure to close the vanes first by
pressing down on the front of the handle. If necessary, pull the shading away
from the window to fully close. Once the vanes are closed you can raise the
shading.
For EasyRise™only: Check that the universal cord tensioner is mounted
correctly.
■Pull down on the spring to relieve tension and pull the universal cord
tensioner to the bottom of the cord loop. Properly mount the cord tensioner.
See the Universal Cord Tensioner Installation Instructions included with
yourshading.
Check that the installation brackets are level. Shim (not provided) to level, if
necessary.
Problem EasyRise shadings only: The universal cord tensioner has climbed to the
headrail.
Solution Pull down on the spring to relieve tension and pull the universal cord tensioner
to the bottom of the cord loop. Properly mount the cord tensioner. See the
Universal Cord Tensioner Installation Instructions included with your shading.
Problem EasyRise shadings only: The universal cord tensioner grabs onto the cord
upon operation.
Solution Check that the universal cord tensioner is mounted properly. Reinstall, if
necessary.

OPERATION
17
Problem The shading is hard to raise or lower, or the bottom rail does not stop at the
top limit.
Solution Check the adjustment position of
both limit stops. The top illustration
shows the correct adjustment. The
limit stop catches the bottom rail,
and the bottom of the limit stop is
slightly above or barely touching the
fabric roll.
In the second illustration, the limit
stop adjustment is too tight. The
fabric may not drop freely and could
even be damaged when the shading
is raised. To correct this, the limit
stop should be adjusted one step up.
Simply pull back on the rear of the
limit stop to adjust its position.
In the bottom illustration, the
adjustment is too loose. The bottom
rail can slip under the limit stop.
If the bottom rail rotates through
the headrail, it must be backed out
before adjusting the limit stop.
IMPORTANT: Both limit stops must
be adjusted to the same position or
else skewing may occur.
Problem The shading raises or lowers unevenly or the bottom rail is uneven when
fully raised.
Solution Check that the window is square by measuring the diagonals.
Check that the installation brackets are level. Shim (not provided) to level,
ifnecessary.
Adjust the bottom rail weight (not applicable for LiteRise®shadings). See next page.
For LiteRise®only: Keep the bottom rail level while raising the shading.
Side-to-side movement while raising may cause the fabric to skew.

Problem The shading raises or lowers unevenly, the fabric rubs against one end of
the headrail, or the bottom rail is uneven when fullyraised.
Solution Check that the window is square by measuring the diagonals.
Check that the installation brackets are level. Shim (not provided) to level,
if necessary.
Adjust the bottom rail weight. See below.
Adjusting the Bottom Rail Weight
■Release the weight clips by inserting
a flat blade screwdriver into the
weight clip and turning clockwise.
■Move the weight in 1" increments toward the side where the fabric is
gathering.
■Secure the weight clips in position by turning them counterclockwise after
making the adjustment.
■Test and, if necessary, adjust again.
Problem Vanes do not align on side-by-side shadings.
Solution Vane alignment is only guaranteed within
1
/ 4 " when shadings are ordered at
the same time, at the same height, with the same colour and fabric, and when
specified on the order form.
Check that the windows are square and the sameheight.
