Pre-Installation Mount Setup
REMOVE BLOCKERS
If the chain or cord has any attachments that are wider than the chain itself, remove them.
These include items such as ball-stoppers, oversized bead connectors, and cord-tensioners. If
these types of items remain on the chain or cord, then there is a high probability that the chain
gets stuck as it passes through Gear. If you require a bead connector, we include one in the
box. The included bead connector is designed to pass freely through Gear.
ENSURE THERE IS SUFFICIENT SPACE AROUND GEAR
When deciding on the best mounting position, make sure that there is three inches of space
below the mounting bracket. This space is needed as Gear must be plugged into a power
source to operate. If there is too little space, then the charging cord may not have enough room
near the bottom of Gear to plug in or may be difficult to unplug.
Additionally, ensure that as the shade moves up and down past the mounting bracket, the
shade never touches the bracket. The shade touching the bracket impedes shade movement
and could lead to a situation where the shade cannot move past Gear. A good general rule is to
position the bracket, and while holding it against the window frame or wall, move the shade up
and down past your hand. If it hits your knuckles, then you should reconsider the bracket
placement and move it further away from the shade's area of movement.
Finally, think about whether the included Solar Bar or Power Adapter is the best option to power
Gear. Based on style preference and availability of power outlets this may play a role in how
Gear is mounted.
