and equally spaced. For outside mount installaons, use a level to
check for levelness.

Posion the box brackets at each end of the headrail. Depending on the

between the box brackets. For more than one center support bracket,
space the support brackets evenly, not more than 30” apart. Make sure
the brackets will not interfere with the cord mechanism or any other

Blind Installaon Instrucons
Step 1 Step 2
Step 1. Aach the loose plasc Valance Clips to the front of the headrail, one at each end. Space any remaining clips
evenly. Press the slot in the Valance against the boom post of the Valance Clip and rotate it upwards.
Step 2. Push the Valance against the Valance Clip. The two parts should snap together.

To lower the blind, pull the cord down and towards the center of the shade to unlock the cord. Then, slowly release the cord unl the shade reaches the
desired locaon. Move the cord past the outer edge of the shade and let go to lock the cord. Guide the blind down with hand.
To raise the blind, pull the cord straight down unl the shade reaches the desired locaon. Move the cord past the outer edge of the shade and let go to
lock the cord. Pull blind up simultaneously as you pull cord to ease pressure.
Operang Instrucons:
Find a convenient place about 1” out from the side of the
shade where the pull cords are located and about one quarter
of the way up from the bottom of the shade. Hold the cord
safety cleat parallel with the window frame. With a pencil,
make a mark through the holes. Screw the cord safety clip to
the wall.
To avoid strangulation and entanglement keep
all cords out of reach of children by installing
safety cleats that limit access to the cord and /or
chain.
With the hold-down brackets aached to the boom rail, lower the blind to the
hold down bracket mounng surface and mark the bracket locaons. Aach the
hold down brackets at the boom of the window or door with the included
screws as shown. To aach the boom rail, gently pull the brackets out slightly,
and insert the pins into the holes on the boom rail of the blinds.
Step 7: Safety Cleat Installaon
Step 8: Aach Hold Down Brackets
(Oponal—Typically used for door installaons)
Step 6: Blind Installaon
Align the headrail with the center support and box brackets. The headrail
should have the lt mechanism facing toward the room. Be careful not to
trap the top slat in the brackets and slide the headrail straight back unl it
is snug in the brackets. If the headrail can slide from side to side in the
box brackets, you can use a at head screwdriver to bend out the tabs on
the end of the unl it is snug.
Lower the front gate of each
box bracket and press unl
the locking tab clicks into
place.
