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.

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.

easily. To prepare for this important first step, review the mounting types and basic window
terminology illustrated below.

■Decide whether the front or back set of installation bracket holes works best in your
application. Mark the location of the screw holes.
➤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.
■Use a level to check that the mounting surface is level. Shim (not provided) the brackets, if
necessary.

other.
■If using the optional back cover: Install the cover into the
