WARNING: CHOKING HAZARD—SMALL PARTS.

Install the Hembar
IMPORTANT NOTES (READ BEFORE INSTALLATION):
• Install the hembar before the shade is operated.
• Ensure that the hembar is free of debris and oils.
• Perform installation in a clean environment so that the shade material does not get
damaged or dirty.
1. Remove the hembar from the bag.
2. Insert the hembar end without the tape into the hem pocket at the bottom of the
shade. Ensure that the tape at the other end of the hembar is facing the window.
3. Slide the hembar into the hem pocket without letting the tape enter the hem pocket.
CAUTION:
The tape bonds with the shade fabric when the two surfaces make
contact. Do not apply pressure to the tape and shade fabric before the hembar is
in its final position. Damage to the shade may occur if tape is secured to the shade
fabric and then separated from the shade fabric.
2. Remove the backing from both pieces of tape by pulling down on the tab that
extends from the endcap.
3. Fully insert the end cap into the hem pocket and over the hembar.
4. Repeat steps 1 through 3 for the other end of the hembar.
5. Apply pressure to both sides of the endcap to ensure that the tape is making contact
with the hembar. Repeat for the other end of the hembar.
6. Tape requires 24 hours to fully cure. After 15 minutes, gently pull on the endcaps to
ensure that the tape has set. If endcaps come off with little effort, contact Crestron
for replacements.
WARNING:
Failure to perform step 6 correctly may result in the endcaps
falling off, posing a choking hazard to children.

4. Remove the backing from the tape and push the remaining hembar into the shade.
5. Center the hembar in the hem pocket. The shade fabric should overlap the hembar
approximately 1/8 inch (4 millimeters) on each end.
6. Secure the hembar in place by applying pressure to the taped area on the hembar
so it makes contact with the shade fabric.
