1: PREPARING THE INSTALL
Determine your shade mounting location on the wall or soffit. Lay the Vivista roller tube and bracket assembly on a clean flat surface with
the wall brackets in place. Measure the full width of the assembly including the end brackets. The bolts’ holes for securing the bracket to
the wall are 1½" in from the outside of each wall bracket. Remove the pin end wall bracket and use it as a guide to mark the wall with the
location of each end bracket based on the full width measured earlier. If mounting on the wall above a window, make sure it is located high
enough to prevent the fabric roll from rubbing on any window trim or drip edge.
2: INSTALLATION OF THE BRACKETS AND ROLLER ASSEMBLY
Remove the end bracket from the motor or gear drive and mount both brackets to the wall
or soffit with the proper fasteners. Use the top and bottom round holes in the bracket for
the fasteners. (See Fig 2A) The idler end bracket has a plastic bushing to receive the pin end
of the roller tube.
IF HOOD EQUIPPED:
(See Fig 2B) If your shade was ordered the an optional
Weatherguard hood cover, install the “L” shape hood bracket behind each roller tube
end bracket and install any additionally included “L” shape hood brackets evenly
spaced in line with the two end brackets.
IF OVER 20’ WIDE:
If your Vivista shade is over 20' wide it will come with either a center
roller support(s) or a split roller coupling.
IF YOU HAVE CENTER SUPPORT(S):
They should be bolted to the wall inline with
the end brackets and on the seam(s) on the fabric near the center of the shade
fabric roll. Measure the seam location(s) in from the end of the shade and install
the center support(s) at that location.
IF YOU HAVE A SPLIT ROLLER COUPLING
: The coupling and two mounting
brackets are to be installed in line with the end brackets at the proper location
based on each roller tube section.
Lift the roller tube and front bar assembly into place by inserting the pin end into the bushing
and swinging the motor or gear into place and securing with the bolts previously removed.
If the unit has a center coupler, be sure to align the roller tube fabric grooves on each roller
tube when inserting the square pins into the center coupling.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Note: This shade may be mounted directly to a wall
with optional hood and side covers, or under the soffit
without a hood and side covers. Not recommended for
installation over operating casement windows.
It is critical that the mounting lag bolts be installed into a stud or double header board. Plywood sheathing or equivalent will
not support the shade. Heavy duty toggle bolts may be used on ½" or thicker sheathing. If mounting to any surface other than
a wood framed structure, please consult with a fastener supply company for the proper fastener recommendation.
NOTE: Be sure the fabric is positioned to be rolling off the top of the roller tube.
If not, you have to rotate the assembly 180 degrees.
