GETTING STARTED
Thank you for purchasing Hunter Douglas Silhouette® window shadings. With proper installation,
operation, and care, your new shadings will provide years of beauty andperformance.
Please thoroughly review this instruction booklet before beginning the installation. If your
shading has a protective plastic cover on the fabric-covered headrail, keep the plastic in place
until the shading is installed.

Measuring tape and pencil Pliers
Power drill,
3
/32" drill bit,
and
1

Scissors (heavy-duty)
In addition, you will need fasteners designed to work with your specific mounting surface(s).
#6 Hex Head Screws (Provided). Two 1
1
/2" screws are provided per installation bracket.
Longer #6 Hex Head Screws (Not Provided). If using spacer blocks, use #6 screws long
enough for a secure attachment.

Importance of Limit Stops on Silhouette Window Shadings
Limit stops serve as the upper travel limit for the bottom rail, preventing it from rotating
around the fabric roll. Limit stops are located 6" from the ends of the headrail or are
centered on shadings less than 36" wide.
When a shading is made, the limit stops are adjusted according to the size of the fabric
roll. Occasionally, this adjustment changes during shipping or installation. If this happens,
problems can be fixed by readjusting the limit stops. See page 20 in the Troubleshooting
section if shading operation is difficult or if the bottom rail rotates around the fabric roll.
Shown below are the four possible positions of limit stops for large to small fabric rolls.

Installation Overview
To install your shading, you will need to perform the following four steps:
STEP 1: Mount the Installation Brackets
STEP 2: Install the Shading
STEP 3: PowerView
™
Only: Connect the Power Source
STEP 4: Install the Optional Back Cover (If Applicable)
STEP 1: Mount the Installation Brackets
The number of installation brackets required
varies with shading width, as shown in thetable.
Mounting Types and Window Terminology
If the installation brackets are mounted correctly, the rest of the installation process follows
easily. To prepare for this important first step, review the mounting types and basic window
terminology illustrated below.
Refer to the appropriate page below based on your order:

Mark 2" from each jamb for bracket location.
If more than two installation brackets came with your order, space additional bracket(s)
between the two end brackets and mark their location. Mount into wood whenever
possible.
For PowerView
™
shadings with battery wand, allow a minimum of 17" between bracket
centerlines for the battery wand.
Determine whether or not to remove one or both tabs from the installation brackets.
If using the optional back cover, use pliers to remove both tabs
from the installation brackets.
For PowerView shadings with battery wand without a back cover,
leave both tabs on the brackets. The top tab helps ensure that
there is clearance for the wand.
For all other shadings without a back cover, use pliers to remove the top tab only.
Save any removed top tabs for use as shims when needed.
Review the minimum depth requirements in the table below.
Center the installation brackets on your marks and mark the location of the screwholes.
Allow sufficient rear clearance when positioning the brackets. With no back cover, the
bottom tab provides the necessary clearance (
1
/4") for all systems except PowerView
with battery wand, which requires
7
/8" rear clearance. (Rear clearance is the distance
between the back of the installation bracket and the glass or frame.) Add an extra
1
/4" of
rear clearance if the optional back cover is used.
After positioning the bracket, determine whether the front or
rear set of bracket holes is closer to the center of the casement.
Mark the location of the correct pair of holes.

Use a level to check that the mounting surface is level. Shim the brackets, if necessary,
using the top tabs that were removed from the brackets.
Use a

CAUTION: Use drywall anchors when mounting into drywall.
If you received a back cover, attach the back cover brackets
to the installation brackets.
For shadings without battery wand(s), first remove the
top tab from the back coverbracket.
Snap the prongs on the back cover brackets into the
holes on the back of the installation brackets.
Attach the installation brackets using the screws provided.
NOTE: Do not overtighten the screws. Check to ensure the
lever can be moved easily side to side. If the lever is not moving
easily, loosen the screws in one-eighth turn increments until it
can be moved easily.
IMPORTANT: The front edges of the installation brackets must be
level and aligned to eachother.

Mount the Installation Brackets — Outside Mount
Center the headrail over the window opening at the desired height. Use a pencil to lightly
mark each end of the headrail.
Alternatively, measure the width of the headrail and use that width to mark the headrail
end points over the window opening.
Mark 2" from each of the headrail end marks for bracket location.
If more than two installation brackets came with your order, space additional bracket(s)
between the two end brackets and mark their location. Mount into wood whenever
possible.
For PowerView
™
shadings with battery wand, allow a minimum of 17" between bracket
centerlines for the battery wand.
Use pliers to break off both the top and bottom tabs from the
installation brackets.
Center the installation brackets on your marks and mark the
location of the screw holes.
A minimum 1
1
/8" flat vertical height is required to mount
the installation brackets.
Position the top of the installation brackets at the desired
height of the shading. The brackets must be level and aligned.
CAUTION: The rear of the blocks/brackets must be flush against
a flat mounting surface. Do not mount brackets oncurved molding.
IMPORTANT: Additional clearance is required for PowerView shadings with battery wand.
See “Additional Clearance with Spacer Blocks” on page 7.
Use a
3
/32" drill bit to drill holes for the mounting screws.
CAUTION: Use drywall anchors when mounting into drywall.
If no additional clearance is required, attach the installation brackets
directly to the mounting surface using the screws provided.
IMPORTANT: The front edges of the installation brackets must be
level and aligned to eachother.
