Install the Blind

Mount the Headrail

•  Tilt back the headrail and slide it into the bracket on the sloped 

tab. There are two possible headrail designs, each of which is 
illustrated below.

•  Position the back lip of the headrail behind the rear leg of the 

installation bracket.

•  Tighten the locking screw to hold the rail securely in place.

End Mount Applications

End mounting is used when the headrail must span an open space 
— an arched window opening, for example.

End Mount Bracket Attachment

•  Attach the short side of the end mount brackets to the 

mounting surface with two screws.

•  Be sure the two end mount 

brackets are aligned at the 
same height.

•  Attach the installation 

brackets with screws 
through the top two 
holes on the end mount 
brackets.

To remove the headrail, fi rst loosen the locking screw. Then tilt the 
headrail back and slide it out of the installation brackets.

•  Then attach the installation brackets to the mounting surface with 

screws through the two holes in the rear of the bracket spacers.

•  Use a carpenter’s level to check that the tops of the brackets are 

aligned at the same height before tightening the screws.

Complete the Installation

Attach the Wand Tilter

The tilt mechanism inside the headrail has a metal shaft that extends 
beneath the rail. The wand tilter must be attached to this shaft. There 
are two types of wands — hook and snap-on.

• 

Hook wand:

 Remove the plastic sleeve from the top of the wand, 

slide it over the metal shaft, insert the wand hook over the hole in 
the shaft, and slide the sleeve over the hook to complete the wand 
installation.

• 

Snap-on wand:

 Push up until the snap-on connector snaps into 

place, through the hole in the shaft. 

•  Test the wand tilter by tilting the slats fully closed up and fully 

closed down. 

Attach Hold-Down Brackets (Optional)

Metal Hold-Down Brackets

•  Insert a hold-down pin into each of the bottom rail end caps.
•  Attach the hold-down brackets to the jamb, sill or outside 

mounting surface. When the blind is fully lowered, the holes in 
the hold-down brackets must align with the pins in the bottom 
rail end caps.

•  Insert the pins into the holes in the hold-down brackets.
