If installing on a brick wall NEVER put the screw into a mortar line.
If the position, you need to drill is over a
mortar line move up to the centre of the brick above that position.
Check the size of your blind against the label, which will be attached to the packaging, or it could be on the
blind.
1. Install the pivot pin into the end of the blind and plate to the idle end bracket, using nut and bolt provided. You
will now have two different brackets the control end and idle end.
2. Install Brackets - The outside measurement from bracket to bracket is the OPEN size, it is the width of your
awning. Mark where the control end bracket is to be installed and the idle end. Drill, plug and attach brackets.
Ensure that the positions where the fasteners run through the brackets are secured into brick, or into the wall’s
structural support.
NB: Ensure that the brackets are fitted level horizontally.
4. Attach gearbox to bracket, using nut and bolt provided. The gearbox can be positioned on two different angles
depending on fitting requirements. The gear can be positioned vertically or on a 25 degrees angle facing out,
use appropriate bracket holes for the gear position you need. Betta Blinds recommend the gearbox to be
angled outwards for ease of use.
NB: Bolt from the outside in.
5.
Hang the blind. The motor end / crank end (square tube end) goes in first. Drop the other end onto the slotted
part of the pin. Secure this end with the split pin supplied.
