CHILD SAFETY

17

 Warning

Young children can STRANGLE in cord loops. They can also wrap cords around their 
necks and STRANGLE.

 

Always keep cords out of the reach of children. 

 

Move cribs, playpens and other furniture away from cords. Children can climb 
furniture to get to cords.

 

Do not tie cords together. Make sure cords do not twist together and create 
a loop.

Cord Loop Blinds

 

Attach the cord tensioner on the cord loop to the wall or window casement. See 
“Attach the Vertical Cord Tensioner” on page 11. This can prevent children 
from pulling cord loops around their necks.

 

Hunter Douglas provides a cord tensioner installation kit with instructions for 
attaching the cord tensioner. For the blind to operate properly, the cord tensioner 
must be correctly mounted and secured.

 

Fasteners provided in the 

Vertical Cord Tensioner Kit

 may not be appropriate 

for all mounting surfaces. Use appropriate anchors for the mounting surface 
conditions.

 

Only Hunter Douglas supplied cord tensioners and hardware should be used. 
Replacement parts may be obtained by contacting the Hunter Douglas Customer 
Information Center at 1-888-501-8364.

For more safety information call 1-888-501-8364 
in the U.S. or 1-866-662-0666 in Canada.
