Mounting the Headrail
■
Fit the front channel on top of the headrail onto the front lip of the installation brackets.

Push the headrail up and back until it snaps into place.
■
Check to ensure the headrail is securely in the brackets.

For Clutch Contol Shades (Only)
Mount and Attach the Cord Tensioner
Before doing anything, you must first slide the cord tensioner to the bottom of the cord loop.
■
Insert a small screwdriver, punch, or awl through the screw hole at the bottom of the cord
tensioner.
■
Move the screw hole down to the indicator line to release the safety mechanism.
WARNING:
It is mandatory that the cord tensioner(s) be properly secured to the wall or
window frame to reduce children’s access to the cord loop. Young children can wrap cords
around their necks and strangle.
CAUTION:
The shade will not operate properly unless the cord tensioner is secured. A cord tensioner installation kit has been
included with your shade. Follow the instructions in the kit to correctly secure the cord tensioner.
IMPORTANT:
Locate the tensioner as close to the window as possible to minimize accessibility by children and pets. Ensure
that the tensioner is not placed in the path of the shade material.
Step 3: Attach Hold-Down Brackets (Optional)
■
Lower the shade and place the hold down pins into the bottom rail end caps.
■
Mark the hold down bracket locations on the mounting surface.
■
With the brackets level, attach hold-down brackets to mounting surface using two screws.

Raise and lower the shade several times.
■
If the length is incorrect or the bottom rail is not level, use the following steps to correct.
