BLINDS WITH SIDE CONTROL CHAIN
Bracket positions illustrated are for a blind with the control chain on the right. For a blind with the control chain
on the left the brackets should be at the opposite ends. Brackets can be fixed to any flat surface above, behind or to
the side of the blind. They must be level to ensure the smooth operation of the blind. Check that the rolled up fabric
will not touch
any surface. To calculate the spacing between the brackets add 32mm (1 1/4") to the width of the blind fabric. Fix the
brackets so that the outsides of the brackets are this distance apart.
Fitting the Brackets
Hold the blind to the brackets with the fabric hanging from the back of the blind. Fit the spring plunger into its
bracket. Push the blind into this bracket, depressing the plunger. With the locating hook pointingdownwards place the
hook into the vertical part of the ‘+’ shaped hole in the bracket. Allow the hook to drop downwards so that it locks into
place in the bracket.

Pin Bracket
Spring end (flat pin) always goes to the left side and the round or pin end to the right side.
Brackets to be installed accordingly.
For reverse roll the opposite applies. All pin end brackets are supplied with a plastic bushing to ensure smooth quiet
operation.
To Install Brackets: Ensure brackets are level. To calculate the spacing between the brackets add 7/8" to the width of
the shade fabric, for shades up to 78 1/4" in width. For shades over 78 1/4" Add 1" to the width of the shade fabric.
This spacing measurement should be taken from outside of brackets. If wall plugs are required use a #6 plastic plug.
Always raise or lower the shade gripping the middle of the shade. Pulling on one side will cause the material to roll up
on an angle.
Shades should always be ordered 12" longer that the actual window opening. This allows the shade to be drawn full
length without danger of being torn from the roller.
