Mount the Installation Brackets — Inside or Ceiling Mount
Bracket Shims (Optional)
Bracket shims are used to gain clearance for valance
clips with inside or ceiling mounts. One shim for each
end bracket and two shims for each intermediate bracket
are included.
■ With each end bracket, first fold the shim and then
position it on top of the end bracket to gain the
required clearance.
■ With each intermediate bracket, stack two
unfolded shims.
NOTE: Bracket shims may also be used to level
the blind whenever the mounting surface is
uneven. The shims can be cut along their fold
line to make them thinner.
Attach the End Brackets
With inside or ceiling mounts, attach the two end brackets flush against the sides of the
window casement or to the ceiling. Choose the most appropriate of the following mounting
methods:
■ Side/Top Mount (Inside mount only): Mount the end brackets with one screw through
a side hole and one screw through a top hole, as shown below left.
■ Side Mount (Inside mount only): Mount the end brackets with two screws through
diagonal side holes.
■ Top Mount (Inside or ceiling mount): Top mount the end brackets with screws through
the two top holes, as shown below right.
■ Ceiling mount only: If the end brackets are flush with the back wall, attach them with
one screw through a top hole and one through a rear hole.

Adding Projection to the Valance
The magnetic valance clips have a projection
adjustment feature. By pulling the clips outward, the
clips can provide an additional
1
⁄ 4 " projection.
The clips offer two projection positions. When the clips
are fully compressed, the narrowest projection is
5
⁄ 8 ".
The widest projection is
7
⁄ 8 " .
■ Insert a small flat blade screwdriver into the slot on
one side of the magnet making sure the screwdriver
is all the way down in the slot.
■ Push the screwdriver in toward the magnet and then
pull out to extend the clip.
■ Repeat on the other side until the magnet is level.

Attach the Magnetic Valance Clips to the Valance
■ Lay the valance face down on a protected
surface with the back side up.
■ Insert the clip dovetail into the valance
groove.
■ Twist the clip until it is straight with the
clear tabs at the top of the valance.
➤ There are at least two clips per valance.
For valances narrower than 36", position
clips 5
1
⁄ 2 " in from the ends of the valance.
For valances 36" or wider, position the
clips 10" in from the ends of the valance.
Additional clips should be spaced evenly
between the two end clips.

INSTALLATION
11
Attach the Universal Valance Clips to the Headrail
With fully recessed inside or ceiling mounts, the universal valance clips must be installed
before mounting the headrail.
■ Attach clips 3" to 6" from each end of the headrail. Avoid any internal components.
■ Space additional clip(s) evenly between the two end clips so that they are no more than
36" apart.
■ Do not place the clips where they could interfere with internal headrail mechanisms.
■ If desired, the valance may be positioned
1
⁄ 4 " higher by raising the clips one notch up, as
shown in the illustration below right.
Attach the Corner Clips (If Required)
If the valance came with returns, connect the returns to the valance using the corner clips
provided.
■ The notches on the back of the valance and valance returns fit into the grooves of the
corner clips.
■ Slide one end of each clip onto the back of the valance until the center of the clip aligns
with the edge of the miter cut at each end.
■ Slide a return onto each corner clip until its miter is flush against the miter on the valance.

Attach the Wand (If Ordered)
If the blind was ordered with a wand tilter, attach the wand to the metal shaft.
NOTE: Wands may appear different from the illustration, but assembly is the same.
■ Pull the plastic sleeve from the top of the wand and insert it over the metal shaft.
■ Insert the hook on the wand through the hole in the metal shaft.
■ Slide the plastic sleeve down over the hook until firmly seated.
■ Test the wand tilter.
Attach the Valance with Magnetic Valance Clips to the Headrail
■ Align the valance to the headrail.
■ Hold the valance securely from the front side with both hands.
■ Position the clips to the top-front lip of the headrail until
it is level and in position.
■ Press the valance gently forward, just enough so the clips
adhere to the headrail.
■ The magnetic valance clips allow for limited valance height
adjustments by carefully sliding the clip up or down while the
magnets are adhered to the headrail. The clip’s tabs rest on
the top-front lip of the headrail, keeping the valance level and
preventing the valance from adjusting lower beyond that point.
■ To remove the valance, gently pull the valance up and toward you.
CAUTION: The entire surface area of the magnet inside each clip needs to maintain
clean contact with the front surface area of the headrail at all times.

■ Pulling the valance slightly downward, insert the top notch of the valance into the clips,
as shown.
■ To remove the valance, gently pull the valance downward to release it from the top of the
clips. Rotate the top of the valance toward you. Lift up the valance to release it from the
bottom of the clips.
Attach the Hold-Down Brackets (Optional)
■ For a wood bottom rail, the bottom rail will come with pre-drilled
3
⁄ 32 " holes and
hold-down pins that have been inserted in the center of the bottom rail ends. For an
aluminum bottom rail, push out the perforated pin plug from each bottom rail end cap
using a ballpoint pen or similar pointed object.
NOTE: Bottom rail design varies by product.
■ To mount the hold-down brackets, first fully lower the blind. Align the hold-down brackets
with the pins in the bottom rail.
➤ Align the pins with the second slot.
■ Maintain the second slot alignment as you attach the hold-down brackets to the jamb, sill,
or outside mounting surface.
■ Slide the hold-down pins into the second slot or hole on the hold-down brackets.
■ The first slot of the hold-down brackets may be used in place of a spacer block.

Troubleshooting
If your blind is not operating correctly:
■ First review the guide that came with your control device.
■ Refer to the following troubleshooting procedures for specific solutions for your blind.
If questions remain, please contact Hunter Douglas Consumer Support at 1-888-501-8364.
Problem
The blind will not fit into the installation brackets.
Solution Check that the installation brackets are level and aligned. Adjust and/or shim
to level, if necessary.
Be sure the heads of the mounting screws are flush against the installation
brackets.
Check that the headrail is completely inserted into the installation brackets.
See “Mount the Headrail” on page 11.
Problem
The blind does not tilt.
Solution Check that the tilt cords are not tangled or knotted.
Check that the cords have not become disengaged from the tape rolls.
Check that the tilt rod in the headrail is fully inserted into the tilt gear.
Problem
The blind does not raise or lower evenly.
Solution Check inside the headrail. Make sure no obstructions keep the mechanism
from turning.
Check that the lift cords are not pinched or tangled.
Problem
Lift cords are bunching by the safety cord connector.
Solution Make sure the slats are in the open position. Raise and lower the blind to
straighten the lift cords.
Problem
Lift cords are stuck or jammed.
Solution Check the cords and the movable pin in the cordlock mechanism inside the
headrail of the blind. Make sure the cords can move freely. If the cords are
jammed, use a screwdriver or needle-nose pliers to move the pin and free
the cords.

OPERATION
18
Problem
When hanging, the slat pack appears to be skewed toward the cordlock
side of the unit, particularly in an inside mount installation.
Solution Slide the headrail in the end brackets in the opposite direction of the skew
and adjust the tabs in the end brackets to maintain the position of the unit.
This will center the slat pack in the window.
