Section 1 -
Mounting Shade
Caution:
Before mounting shades, verify measurements on label provided with shade, and ensure unit is installed at correct width.
Please Note:
Installer is responsible for selecting mounting hardware appropriate for site conditions.
1.
Read instructions through completely before proceeding.
2.
Follow instructions carefully. Installation contrary to instructions invalidates warranty.
3.
Pick up shade from ends only. Picking headbox up at other points will damage case and may damage fabric.
4.
Entire bottom of shade headbox should be unobstructed to permit access to bottom panel for making electrical connections or servicing.
5.
Shade should be installed level
(using a carpenter’s level)
.
6.
Operating switch
(es)
packed separately in shade carton. Do not discard with packing material.
7.
Shade operates on 110-120V, 60 Hz. current.
Please note:
Shade has been thoroughly inspected and tested at factory and found to be operating properly prior to shipment.
Regardless of mounting method used, the following points apply:
1.
Shade should be lifted into position only by the end mounting plates. Keep headbox level by lifting end plates simultaneously to prevent surface damage.
Using both mounting holes in the end plates ensures a much more stable installation. Never attempt to lift shade along its length.
2.
Entire weight of unit MUST BE supported by end plates during installation.
Please Note:
Tabs on case support straps are ONLY used to reduce visible
headbox deflection.
3.
Shade should be positively and securely supported so that vibration or
abusive pulling will not weaken installation.

4.
Installer must ensure that fasteners used
are of adequate strength and suitable
for mounting surface. Installer must also
ensure that structure is of adequate
strength. Supporting hardware
(chains,
cables, rods, etc.)
must be essentially vertical.
5.
Entire bottom of headbox must be readily
accessible after installation is complete.
6.
Front, back, and top of headbox must be
straight — not forced to warp or bow.
7.
Do not use headbox to support adjacent
sections of ceiling.
8.
Do not seal unit in ceiling until electrical
connections have been made and shade
has been operated successfully.
