Disassemble current roller blind and remove the fabric. Slide the motor into the tube and the idle end (I) onto the
opposite end of the tube.
.
Measure the width of your existing roller blind tube, mark
the new aluminium tube to this width and saw vertically to
length using the cutting guide. Start sawing on the tape. Peel the backing off the double-sided tape and fix the
fabric to it. Make sure the fabric lies flat on the tube
without creases. To help mount the fabric straight and
wrinkle free, peel the backing tape off in steps.
Fit the crown wheel (C), drive wheel (D) and drive plate (P)
to the motor.

First determine
how you want the
blind to roll. The
blind can either
roll close to the
window (i) for
light exclusion or
over the roller (ii)
to avoid fittings.
Carefully mark the
positions for the
screw holes of the
left bracket (L). Drill
the holes** and
fix the bracket in
position (1).
Hang the blind in
the left bracket and
check that it is level
using a levelling
device. Carefully
mark the positions
of the 2 holes of the
right bracket (R).
Remove the blind,
drill the holes** and
fix the right bracket
in position (2).
Hang the roller
blind in position
between the
brackets. Fix drive
end (1) first then
click the idle end
(2) in position.
Finally fit the
bracket covers in
position.
Then decide
whether to face fix
(iii) or top fix (iv)
your blind.
Fitting your blind outside the
window recess.
Follow these steps to centre your blind in the
middle of your window:
The measurements at either end of the recess (C)
need to be the same.
To work out (C):
1) Measure and note the width of the
window recess (B).
2) Measure and note the width of the blind (A).
3) Take measurement (B) away from
measurement (A) and divide the answer by 2 to
get measurement (C).
We recommend face fix if
• you want to fit the brackets
directly to the window frame.
We recommend top fix if:
• you have PVC window frames
• there are obstructions,
like handles

*When measuring and hanging, make sure that the flange on the
motor head points down to fit in the bracket. Also ensure the idle end
plunger (opposite the motor end) is depressed by at least 5mm when
marking the hole positions and hanging the blind.
** If securing to plaster, brick, stone, etc., drill the holes at the
marked positions using a 5 mm masonry drill bit and insert the wall
plugs supplied. Fix the brackets in place using the screws supplied.
