Installation Instructions
Mount the head box first using the pre-drilled holes in section 2.2 Pre-Drill Mounting Holes. Use a level to ensure the
head box is mounted completely level.
We recommend pan head screws for mounting and advise you to stay away from using deck screws to mount the
back cover and brackets. Mounting screws are not provided. The type and size of screw required are project
specific and will vary depending upon the mounting surface.
After installing the cable retainer,
feed the un-
crimped end of the
stainless steel cable through the
cable retainer. Pull the cable
through the cable retainer until the
crimped end of the cable sits against
the cable retainer.

Installation Instructions
Install the shade by carefully inserting the idler pin into the plastic ball on the idler bracket and compress the idler so
the operator clears the operator bracket.
Align the Somfy motor head with the
motor mount and press into place.
Ensure you hear the retaining ring snap
into place.
All operator and idler bracket assemblies are shipped pre-assembled and should not need to be oreinted differently.
If you need to change operator sides, reference the holes that were used on the shipped assembly while oreinting the
operator and idler mounts on the brackets.
Insert and mount the operator and idler brackets using the pre-drilled holes in section 2.2 Pre-Drill Mounting Holes.
Only operator brackets are shown.

Installation Instructions
Install the shade by carefully inserting the clutch into the clutch bracket first.
For standard motor wires
(hardwire and molded plug), route your motor cable through the hole that was drilled in
section 2.3 Drill Motor Cable Routing Holes. Place the grommet over the cable and insert it into the drilled hole. Then
run your wire to the power source.
For fast connect wires
, route your motor cable through the hole that was drilled in section 2.3 Drill Motor Cable
Routing Holes. Place the grommet over the cable and insert it into the drilled hole. Then attach the female connector
to the male connector and run the wire to the power source.
Always orient the power wire so it does not interfere with the shade operation. Ensure
there is an adequate drip loop length so no condensation can travel to the motor head.

Installation Instructions
To remove the shade, reverse the above installation instructions.
For motorized shades
, begin by removing the retaining ring. Move the shade toward the idler to compress the idler
enough so that the operator clears the operator bracket. Remove the idler pin from the idler bracket.
For manual clutch shades,
begin by rotating the idler hook to unlock the idler. Lift up on the idler side of the shade
and move the shade away from the clutch bracket.
Slide the hem bar through the
hem bar pocket of the shade.
Ensure it is centered in the hem
bar pocket.
Begin by guiding the cable through
the nylon cable guide pin on the
operator side. Repeat the process on
the idler side.
Place the lug idler in the idler bracket and rotate the hook to lock the idler in place.

Oasis® 2700 Patio Shade
Installation Instructions
Insolroll offers two options for lower cable brackets: deck
mount and wall mount. Use the cable to determine your
bracket location. Use a tape measure to ensure the cables run
parallel to each other. Use a level to ensure the cables also
run completely vertical. Mount the lower cable brackets in
the determined location that will allow the cables to run
parallel and vertical. Mounting screws are not provided. The
type and size of screw required are project specific and will
vary depending upon the mounting surface.
Locate the cable guide tensioning hardware bag
included in your shipment.
Insert the tension bolt assembly into the mounted bracket, so the crimping screw is accessible. Screw on the upper nut
to hold the assembly in place.
Place the lower nut on the tension bolt.
Be sure it remains threaded on the lower
part of the bolt.
Remove the metal sleeve and place it
through the hole on the head of the tension
bolt and hand tighten the crimping screw to
hold the metal sleeve in place. Do not
overtighten the screw, it should only be tight
enough to keep the metal sleeve from falling
out of place.

Installation Instructions
Feed the cable through the top of the tension bolt. Pull the cable taut and tighten the crimping screw using a flat head
screwdriver or a 5/16” socket. To avoid damaging the head of the screw, do not over tighten. The cable is now set.
Remove the cable sheathing about 1/2” below the
top threads of the tension bolt using a pair of 12-
gauge wire strippers. Be careful when removing the
sheathing. Avoid twisting the un-sheathed cable to
prevent it from fraying.
To adjust the cable tension, loosen the upper nut using a 1/2” wrench. Once the upper nut is loose, begin tightening
the lower nut so it pulls the tension bolt down through the bracket.
As the tension bolt gets pulled through the bracket, the cable will become taut. Check the cable tension while
adjusting to ensure it does not become too tight. Once the desired tension is reached, tighten the upper nut back
down to hold everything in place.

Installation Instructions
Ensure your shade is set to the correct pre-set limits. If the limits need to be adjusted, please refer to the Motor
Programming Instructions. Insolroll strongly advises against using any sensors (wind, sun, etc.) or programming any
scheduled or timed events with our Oasis products.
To set the lower limit, start by rolling the shade down to its preferred down limit. Place the ball stop (provided) on the
chain so it prevents the shade from rolling down any further.
Roll the shade to the desired upper limit. Place the ball stop (provided) on the chain so it prevents the shade from
rolling up any further.
Before setting any limits on your manual clutch shade, roll the shade up and down a number of times and inspect it for
any telescoping (excessive horizontal movement of fabric while shade rolls up on the tube). If adjustments need to be
made, please refer to section 8.0 Telescoping to fix that before proceeding to set the lower limits.
The chain guide tension device reduces the hazard of
strangulation and entanglement of young children by limiting
access to the bead chain. The chain guide is shipped on the
bead chain. Squeeze the spring mechanism on the chain guide
to allow it to open and slide down to the bottom of the chain.
Install the bottom screw first. If you install the top screw first, the
installation of the bottom screw may pull the chain too tight to run
the shade up and down. #8 x 1 1/2” pan head screws for
wood trim, drywall or aluminum mullion are provided. If you are
not installing into any of these surfaces, replace the provided
screws with the appropriate fasteners for your application.

Oasis® 2700 Patio Shade
Installation Instructions
Fabric telescoping is excessive horizontal movement of fabric while shade rolls up on the tube. Shades are tested
and fabric telescoping is adjusted prior to shipment, but additional adjustments may be required depending on
each specific application.
If fabric adjustments are required, roll the shade all the way down so the tube is exposed. This will require
adjustment of the lower limit using the Motor Programming Instructions for motorized shades. For manual clutch
shades that have set limits, you will have to remove the ball stop that is setting the lower limit before proceeding.
When finished be sure to re-install the ball stop to set the lower limit. Refer to section 6.2 Manual Clutch Shades for
more information.
Place a piece of duct tape, 2"-4" in length, near the edge of the tube on the side opposite of the direction the fabric
is moving.
Run the shade up and down a few times. If the shade still telescopes, repeat the process. The correct amount of tape
can only be determined by trial and error. Re-set the lower limit after completing shade adjustments.
Insert the front cover tongue into the back cover groove, the front cover needs to be
perpendicular in order to fit properly into the groove of the back cover. After correctly
inserting the front cover into the groove, the front cover will stay engaged as it closes.
Secure the end plate to the front cover with the end plate screws provided.
For outside mount:
Secure the end
plate to the front cover with the end
plate screws provided.
For inside mount:
If you cannot access the end plate screw holes
for inside mount applications, use a 1/8” drill bit to pre-drill through
the bottom of the front cover and the end plate tab. Secure the front
cover using the provided 3/8” painted screw.
