Install the Channels
■ Using the outline on the template, determine where to mount the side channel.
➤ If your shade is LiteRise®or PowerView®(battery wand), the minimum mounting depth
for flush mount is 2
1
⁄ 2 ". Trim the template at the dotted line prior to use.
➤ If your shade is PowerView (battery wand — high and low mount), the minimum
mounting depth for flush mount is 3".
➤ If your shade is PowerView (rechargeable battery wand), the fully recessed minimum
mounting depth is 3
3
⁄ 4 " and the minimum casement depth is 1
1
⁄ 4 ".
■ Place the template at the bottom of the left side jamb
and mark the rear edge of the template on the jamb.
➤ This mark represents the rear edge of the mounting
channel.
■ Repeat this step for the top of the left jamb.
■ Repeat the above steps for the right jamb.
■ Using the template, mark the location for the installation brackets on the head jamb.
➤ Place the template in the top left corner of the window opening.
➤ Line up the back edge of the template with the mark
previously made on the side jamb.
➤ Mark the center hole, if depth permits.
➤ Repeat for the right side.
➤ If more than two installation brackets came with your
order, space additional bracket(s) evenly between the
two end brackets and mark their location.

caps to minimize the gap.
NOTE: D-seal on the top of the top end caps can be effective in reducing light gaps.
➤ Attach the end caps as shown and test to ensure a snug fit.

channel to the marks previously made on the side jambs.

out of square installs, it may be necessary to add
an additional screw in the not pre-drilled location
of the mounting channel for additional support.
Screws in the U channel should be placed a
maximum of 18" apart.
■ Repeat for the opposite side.

Install the Brackets
■ Your order will include the correct number of installation brackets for your shade width, as
shown in the table.
■ Install the installation brackets.
➤ Drill the screw holes already marked on the head jamb using a
3
⁄ 32 " drill bit.
■ Use a level to check that the mounting surface is level. Shim the brackets if necessary.
■ Attach the installation brackets using the screws
provided.
IMPORTANT: The back edges of the installation
brackets should line up with the back of the rear
channel. If the brackets are closer to the window,
move them forward.
IMPORTANT: The front edges of the installation
brackets must be level and aligned. If mounting to a
heavily textured surface, shim the brackets, if needed.
Apply D-seal (If Necessary)
■ We have provided an adhesive-backed D-seal to reduce
any light gaps created by uneven surfaces. Install the
D-seal on the headrail, as necessary, to eliminate the
light gaps.
