When selecting a fixing point, ensure that the brackets will not be located over any of the ladder tilt
mechanisms inside the head rail. Fix the universal brackets to the top or face of the hatch/window frame.
They should be spaced approximately equidistant from the ends of the blind. It is preferable to position a
bracket close to the lift cord outlet.
•
After fixing, open the brackets by pulling the finger tabs to the centre of each bracket. Push the head rail
upwards into the brackets and push the finger tabs back towards the head rail so that they fit flush with the
front of the head rail.
•
If fixing the blind to a soft headlining spacers can be provided. This avoids the finger tabs damaging the
surface of the headlining by attaching the plastic spacers provided between the bracket and fixing surface.
•
If extension brackets have been supplied, fix the universal brackets to the underside of the extension bracket
using the screws provided.
2. SKYVENETIAN Guide Wire Fitting Instructions
A spare slat is provided as a template for marking the guide wire hold down positions. It is important that the
guide wires run parallel to ensure smooth operation of the blind. The guide wires on a 25mm head rail use a
central spring (in the head rail) to maintain tension. When fitting the guide wire hold downs make sure that the
spring is not pulled to the side as it can interfere with the top of the ladders.
Option A – Chrome or Brass Dome
•
Fit the washer using the slat/template to ensure the correct position.
•
Pass the guide wire through the hole in the dome.
•
Fit the barrel bolt to the guide wire
•
To test the tension pull the dome down level with the bottom of the washer.
•
Adjust the position of the barrel bolt to achieve adequate tension and re-test.
•
When the tension is correct cut off the excess guide wire.
•
Screw the dome onto the washer.
Option B – Clear Plastic
•
Fit the hold down using the slat/template to ensure the correct
position.
•
Fit the barrel bolt to the guide wire
•
To test the tension pull the barrel bolt down level with the bottom of the hold
down.
•
Adjust the position of the barrel bolt to achieve adequate tension and
re-test.
•
When the tension is correct cut off the excess guide wire.
•
With the fixing screw through the hold down loosened, slide the barrel bolt into the
hold down and screw the fixing screw home.
