Prepare the Installation Brackets

■ If using the optional back cover: Use pliers or

heavy duty scissors to remove the top tabs on the
installation brackets.

➤ Then remove the top tab on the back cover

brackets.

➤ Snap the prongs on the back cover brackets into

the holes on the back of the installation brackets.

■ If not using the optional back cover: Remove the

top tab only on the installation brackets.

NOTE: Save these tabs once removed. They may be used as shims, if necessary.

Mount the Installation Brackets

■ Mark 2" to 3" from each jamb for bracket location.

➤ If more than two installation brackets came with your order, space additional bracket(s)

evenly between the two end brackets and mark their location. Mount into wood
whenever possible.

CAUTION: Use drywall anchors when mounting into drywall.

■ Attach the installation brackets using the screws provided.

ensure the lever can be moved easily side to side. If not,
loosen the screws

in one-eighth turn increments until the

lever can be moved easily.

IMPORTANT: The front edges of the installation brackets
must be level and aligned to eachother.

■ If using the optional back cover: Install the cover into

the back cover brackets. If necessary, trim the back cover

STEP 2 — Install the Shade

■ Peel back the protective

covering from the top of
the headrail. Leave the
rest of the protective
covering on the front of
the headrail.

that the front faces you.

the installation brackets so the edge of the headrail is between the lever and the bracket,
asshown.

■ Firmly push the headrail into each bracket until it clicks and the lever snaps to the right side

of the bracket.

IMPORTANT: Carefully pull on the headrail at each bracket to ensure it is
installedsecurely.

■ Completely remove the protective covering from the headrail.

Attach the Dust Cover (Optional for Outside Mounts)

The dust cover is used to protect the top of the headrail from exposure on outside mounted
shades.

■ Cut the dust cover to desired width.

■ Remove the paper backing on one side of the hook and loop

fastener dots.

■ Apply the dots to the installation brackets on each end of the shades.

■ Remove the remaining paper backing from the dots.

■ Center the dust cover over the top of the shade, above the dots.
