Mount the Brackets
Bracket Spacing
• Position the two end brackets on the mounting surface so that
they will be located between 7" and 10" from the ends of the
headrail.
• If more than two brackets are required (see chart below), space
the additional bracket evenly between the end brackets.
Outside Mount Applications

installation brackets.
Outside Mount Bracket Attachment
• Attach the installation brackets with two screws through the two
holes in the rear of the brackets.
• Use a carpenter’s level to check that the tops of the brackets are
aligned at the same height before tightening the screws.
Extension Brackets (Optional)
Extension brackets can be used with outside mounts to project the
installation brackets from 2
This allows for additional clearance of obstructions such as window
cranks or handles.
• The extension brackets may be fastened together two different
ways to produce the desired wall extension, as shown below.
• Attach the extension brackets using #6 self-tapping screws.

End Mount Applications
End mounting is used when the headrail must span an open space —
an arched window opening, for example.
End Mount Bracket Attachment
• Attach the short side of the end mount brackets to the mounting
surface with two screws.
• Be sure the two end mount
brackets are aligned at the
same height.
• Attach the installation
brackets with screws
through the top two
holes on the end mount
brackets.

Complete the Installation
Attach the Wand Tilter
The tilt mechanism inside the headrail has a metal shaft that extends
beneath the rail. The wand tilter must be attached to this shaft.
Remove the plastic sleeve from the top of the wand, slide it over the
metal shaft, insert the wand hook over the hole in the shaft, and slide
the sleeve over the hook to complete the wand installation.
Attach Hold-Down Brackets (Optional)
Hold-down brackets may only be used with outside-mounted blinds.
• Fully lower the blind and completely open the slats.
• Mount the hold-down brackets to the outside mounting surface
with the bottom of the slot aligned with the center of the “D” in
the HunterDouglas logo on the bottom rail end caps.
• Screw the washer head Philips screws through the slot in the
bracket into the “D” in the end caps, leaving enough gap for the
screw to slide freely up and down the slot.
2
Install the Blind
Mount the Headrail
• Tilt back the headrail and slide it into the bracket along the
sloped tab.
• Position the back lip of the headrail behind the rear leg of the
installation bracket.
• Tighten the locking screw to hold the rail securely in place.
To remove the headrail, rst loosen the locking screw. Then tilt the
headrail back and slide it out of the installation brackets.

Operate the Blind
Tilting the Slats
• After installation, tilt the slats from fully closed in one direction to
fully closed in the other. Repeat three or four times to work all
components in place.
• For optimal closure, an extra twist of the wand is required to close
the slats tightly.
Raising and Lowering the Blind
• Pull the single cord down and toward the center to raise and
lower. The slats should be open when raising and lowering.
• Pull the cord to the outside to lock the blind in position.
• See the illustration at the top of the next column.

PROBLEM SOLUTION
The blind does not raise
and lower evenly.
Check inside the headrail.
Make sure no obstructions keep
the mechanism from turning.
Check that the lift cords are
not pinched or tangled.

Care and Cleaning
• Dust with a soft clean cloth or chemically treated dust cloth. Tilt
the slats up and dust. Then tilt the slats down (but not all the way
closed) and dust the other side of the slats.
• Vacuum using the brush dust head attachment and tilt the slats
up and down as described for dusting.
• Wash slats using a damp cloth and mild detergent solution. Use
warm or cold water, not hot water. Tilt the slats up and down as
described for dusting.
• Bottom rail and slats may also be immersed in a bathtub for a
more thorough cleaning. Do not immerse the headrail. Place the
blind in a solution of mild, soapy water. Rinse clean and either
wipe dry or allow to air dry completely.

Child Safety
The lift cord is wrapped around
the ladder tape.
Slats are not closing evenly.
– or –
The blind does not tilt.
Remove the plastic cap on
the bottom of the blind that
covers the cord rout hole.
Untie knot in lift cord and
re-thread. Re-tie the knot
and replace cap.
Check that tape roll support
covers are installed correctly
onto the tape rolls and tape
roll supports. If covers are
not installed correctly, tape
strings could become lodged
and blind will not operate
as designed.
If grommet on tape string
has come out of the slot in
the tape roll, place grommet
back into the slot.
If necessary, re-position tape
string on tape roll to the
correct crossing pattern.
If blind does not tilt: Check
to be sure the tiltrod is fully
inserted into the tilt gear.
Young children can STRANGLE in the loop above the cord stop.
They can also wrap cords around their necks and STRANGLE.
• Alwayskeepcordsoutofthereachofchildren.
• Movecribs,playpensandotherfurnitureawayfromcords.
Children can climb furniture to get to cords.
Cord Stop
• This component breaks apart with minimal
pressure should a child or pet become
entangled in the top lift cords.
• It also acts as a stopper to prevent inner
cords from being pulled through the
blind, which can also create potential
entanglement.
Reassembly of Cord Stop
• Reinsert any loose cords into the top
notches of the cord stop. There is a
notch on each side.
• Line up the right and left sides of
the cord stop and snap the pieces
back together.
