There are two (2) ways to install your solar shade (see Fig. B and C). Your solar shade
comes ready for a wall installation (Fig. B). If you prefer a wall installation (Fig. B), you
are ready to proceed to Step 2.
If you want to change your solar shade so it hangs from the top/ceiling (ceiling mount, see
Fig. C), you will need to make a change before proceeding to Step 2. Please see below if
you want to change to a Ceiling Mount.
CHANGING TO CEILING MOUNT
To change to a ceiling mount, you
will need to remove the Plastic
Bracket Covers and remove all
screws (see Fig. D) from the Clutch
Bracket and Stationary Bracket.
Figure D
After removing the screws, change
the Clutch Bracket so it matches
Figure F, and change the
Stationary Bracket so it matches
Figure E.
Replace the screws and Plastic
Bracket Covers when nished.
Make sure your brackets are secure before proceeding to Step 3.
Step 3: Install brackets
Secure the Clutch Bracket and Stationary
Bracket with the provided wood screws
(see Fig. H).
Do not tighten screws completely yet.

2. Second, slide the Top Tube
Stationary Plug into the
Stationary Clutch Bracket.
Close the latch on the
Stationary Plug (see Fig. I).
