Note: 1. Use appropriate fixings to suit application. 2. Ensure brackets are Aligned and Level. 3. Measure brackets end to end to confirm measurement is
correct
BLIND INSTALLATION
STEP 1 –INSERT BLIND INTO BOX
User effort will be required to push the booster head/Idler pin into the adapter, a noticeable “click” will indicate that the component is correctly
located.

STEP 2 –INSERT RETAINER CLIP MKII ONTO IDLER ADAPTER
IDLER END CONTROL END
Ensure pin is clipped in securely SPRING ONLY: Insert Retainer Clip MKII at spring end
Tighten the Screw SPRING ONLY: Insert Retainer Clip MKII at spring end
and tighten the screw to secure.
STEP 3 –UNLOCK PRE-TENSION HEAD AT SPRING END STEP 4 –FEED THROUGH MOTOR CABLE
(FOR SPRING ONLY) (FOR MOTOR ONLY)

BLIND INSTALLATION
STEP 5 –RUN BLIND DOWN + CENTRE
STEP 6 –TEST BLIND OPERATION
For spring operation, blind should creep up slowly when pulled down.
If blind does not creep up, add more pre-turns. For motor operation,
ensure wiring is correct and motor is operating correctly.
For gear operation, ensure operation is smooth.
ADJUSTING PRE-TURNS (SPRING OPERATED BLINDS ONLY)
STEP 1 –TO ADJUST PRE-TURNS, LOCK STEP 2 –DISENGAGE THE SPRING HEAD
PRE-TENSION HEAD FROM ADAPTER
Note: Ensure spring is locked by lifting weight bar until fabric bunches up. Loosen the screw then lever the Retainer Clip MKII outwards.

STEP 3 –ADD ADDITIONAL PRE-TURNS REQUIRED
Note: Gradually increase the number of pre-turns required. Only remove the pre-tension spanner when the spring tension is held by the internal
mechanism, immediately after a ‘click’ is heard.
STEP 4 –UNLOCK PRE-TENSION HEAD STEP 5 –RE-INSTALL AND TEST BLIND
Note: When the weight bar is pulled down, the tension in
the spring will be released.
If too many pre-turns are added, the blind will automatically raise.
Note: Re-install and secure Retainer Clip when complete.
PART I –SIDE GUIDE INSTALLATION
STEP 1 –MARK OUT SIDE GUIDE POSITION AND ALIGN RAIL (FOR OPEN BRACKET ONLY)
Note: Use Open Bracket Template (RE01- Use thickness of Open Bracket Template Rail to sit flush to bracket
3012-033000) to assist

STEP 2 –MOUNT L-FIXING RAIL TO WALL ON BOTH SIDES (FOR FACE FIX ONLY)
STEP 3 –INSERT U-MOUNTING RAIL/FACE FIX U-MOUNTING RAIL

SIDE FIX
STEP 5 –REMOVE THE STOPS FROM THE FUNNEL IN THE INNER RAILS
Use flat head screw driver to pry both stops out.
STEP 6 –SWING INNER RAIL INTO THE U MOUNTING RAIL ON AN ANGLE ON BOTH SIDES
Ensure weight bar is 50-100mm from box
Feed zip into funnel

STEP 7 –PUT STOPS BACK INTO FUNNEL
If there is inadequate access to the back of the blind to attach stops, add only one to the front of the blind on both ends
STEP 8 –OPERATE BLIND MULTIPLE TIMES TO ALLOW INNER RAIL TO MOVE INTO NATURAL POSITION
The inner rail should sit parallel with the zip to avoid strain or jamming of blind during
operation.
Ensure the zip is running inside the inner rail on both sides.
When using the Ultra-Lock, the Latch Housings must be level with each other to ensure
the Ultra-Lock Pins lock simultaneously.
Adjust the position of the Inner Rails as required.
STEP 9 –SECURE THE INNER RAILS

WEIGHT BAR SB07 LATCH INSTALLATION
STEP 1 –BRING WEIGHT BAR TO DESIRED LOCKED POSITION
STEP 2 –SECURE LATCH TO U-MOUNTING RAIL
Align lip of latch to U-Mounting Rail
STEP 3 –ADD ADDITIONAL LATCHES (IF REQUIRED)

INSERT BOX / COVER
STEP 1 –SWING BOX COVER INTO BOX STEP 2 –SECURE COVER AT BOTH ENDS
TOP AND CLIP INTO PLACE
IMPORTANT: Multiple Blinds installed Side by Side on Face Fit
Fit all box covers and L-Fixing Rail prior to any fixing of the U-Mounting Rail. This is to allow for it to be fixed to the
adjacent awning plus the L-fixing rail as per image below.

1 Prominent smile across fabric Not enough tension in side guides Cut new fabric skin and weld zip onto fabric ensuring
temperature is not too hot. Refer to Assembly manual for
welding tips.

bar.
2 Ripples along sides of fabric Blind rolled up for extended This occurrence is inherent to roller systems and is more

most ripples should disappear
Fabric not central to system Remove rivets around the ripple area and reposition inner
rail and secure
Too much tension in inner rails Check fabric is centred with system. If the fabric is not centred
with the system, centre the fabric. The Side Rails may
need to be removed to correct. If fabric cannot be centred,
check scallop in fabric is large enough for installation
(refer to Assembly manual for scallop sizes). If the fabric at
the scallop is flush with the edge of the tube and the fabric
cannot move sideways any further, increase size of scallop
in fabric.
Fabric is too wide for installation Check actual installation width dimension matches the
measured blind width.
If the installation width does not match the measured blind
width:
• Correct installation width to match measured blind width
or
• Correct fabric width to correct size (based on actual
installation width)
Note: Tube and weight bar may also require correcting.
If the installation width matches the measured blind width:
Check overall fabric width from external zip edge to external
zip edge and ensure it is W-66mm (W being completed blind
width).
If required, correct fabric width.
