Install the SofTrak

™

Headrail

■

Push up on the locking screws. This raises the locking tab and
makes the headrail easier to install.

■

The grooves on the back of the headrail are designed to snap
into the locking tab on the faceplate and inside/ceiling mount
bracket.

➤

Tilt the front of the headrail (the side with the pinion clips) up
so the top groove fits into the locking tab on each installation
bracket.

■

With the top groove in place on all brackets, tilt
the headrail down so the bottom groove fits into
the bottom tabs on the installation brackets.

■

Position/center the headrail and tighten the locking screws until
snug.

Do not overtighten.

Reveal Fit and Wall-To-Wall Face Fit Installations

■

After the SofTrak headrail is installed into the installation brackets, check the clearance at each end and
make any necessary adjustments.

IMPORTANT:

The recommended amount of clearance varies according to the control end and stack

design, as shown below.
