End Caps are not attached to the large cassette to avoid damage in shipping. Attach end caps
before installing the shade.
NOTE:
The shade can be removed while the cassette stays in the window opening.
Push up on the clutch side to disengage. While holding the shade up, push in on the idle end to remove the shade.
Bracket Requirements
With inside and ceiling mounts, use a level to check that
the mounting surface is level. Shim brackets if necessary.
With outside mounts, the tops of the brackets must be
level and aligned at the same height.
For wider shades, additional brackets are required for
both inside and outside mounts. (See chart)
