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.
