R20 Sidewinder control:
N.B. This blind should be installed by a person competent in DIY. If in doubt
please consult a professional.
1.The standard universal metal brackets supplied with the blind may be top,
face or side-fixed.
2.Check that the blind fits correctly. The pin-end is sprung for easy fitting, but
the pin should be depressed once in place. The fabric should roll o the back
of the barrel, unless ordered reverse-roll.
3.Fix the control-end bracket using appropriate screws/plugs.
4. Locate the blind in the control-end bracket, and mark the position of the
pin-end bracket.
5.Remove blind and fix pin-end bracket using appropriate screws/plugs.
NB. Fix the control-end bracket using appropriate screws/plugs.
6. Insert the pin in the pin-end of blind into the bracket. Press the blind
against the bracket to depress sprung pin, and insert the lug on the control-

7. Ensure the relevant child safety device is used to comply with BS
EN13120:2009+A1:2014, BS EN16433:2014 and BS EN16434:2014 as follows:
*You will have been provided with either a chain tidy or easy break chain
connector (also see page 8 & 11)
Chain Tidy
The chain tidy will be attached to the chain when the blind arrives. The chain
tidy should be at a maximum distance from the control mechanism, keeping
the chain taut (not under excessive tension however as this could negatively
aect the longevity and operation of the blind). Put the retaining device on
the wall, mark fixing holes with a pencil, drill the holes and screw the device
to the wall with suitable fixings.

R20 fitting instructions6
Easy Break Chain Connectors
Two easy break chain connectors are connected to the operating chain
200mm apart. This ensures that at least one of them will be in the vertical
position ensuring they perform as required. If excessive weight is applied
within the loop a connector will come apart. If a connector comes apart
and is undamaged then it will need to be re-connected by inserting the
last ball on the end of the chain into the hole in the connector and pushed
into place.
8. Check that the blind operates correctly.
NB. Large blinds are heavy and it is important that the correct fixings are
used. If unsure, seek expert advice.

R20S Spring Control:
N.B. This blind should be installed by a person competent in DIY. If in doubt
please consult a professional.
1.Fit as per the R20 Sidewinder instructions but please see parts diagram to
right (back bar is optional).
2.Spring must be on the right-hand side unless fabric is reverse rolled.
3.The spring would have been tensioned during the manufacturing process
but the tension can be increased or decreased if required. If the fabric does
not wind up completely when the blind is operated, greater spring tension
can be applied as follows:
a) Bring the blind down 250mm from its uppermost position.
b) Remove the blind from the brackets and roll the fabric by hand back onto
the barrel.
c) Replace the blind in the brackets.
d) If there is still not enough tension, repeat steps a to c.
e) If the tension is too much, follow the above but in reverse. Remove the
blind from the brackets and unroll the fabric by hand. Ensure the blind
is not over tensioned as it will result in the bottom bar crashing into
the blind and potentially jamming. If the blind is installed outside the
recess then adjusting the tension can be done without taking the blind
out of its brackets if preferred. Use a flat head screwdriver through the
hole in the bracket to either increase or decrease the tension as desired.
NB. If the blind has been fitted with a limit stop, this may need to be checked
prior to installation. Roll the blind up to the desired stop point and the limit
stop will be on the left (for reverse roll blinds, this will be on the right).
Turn the square centre pin counter-clockwise until it stops. (On a blind in a
back bar this is controlled by a cross head screw on the bracket.)
4. Attach the pull cord to the bottom bar
