nect cable guide hole, located at the top of the end bracket.
Beginning with the right hand side, slide the end bracket onto the winding shaft so that the 

splines in the ratchet wheel fit onto the winding shaft grooves.
Attach the end bracket to the flag angle using (1) 5/16”-18 x 3/4” carriage bolt, (1) 5/16” 

washer and (1) 5/16”-18 hex nut. Then secure the end bracket to the jamb using (1) 5/16” x 

1-5/8” lag screw.
Repeat same process for left hand end bracket.
