Slide bead chain or cord
through base entering
through the rounded part
of base following through
the flat end.
Once the spring is fully
compressed, turn insert
on an angle and push
through the guide legs.
Turn the insert flat and
then release the spring.
For cord, the serrated edge
should face cord. For bead
chain, the smooth edge
should face chain.
Slide base back down the
bead chain or cord and
over the guide.
Pull tension device down
until chain is taut on both
sides. Mark the upper
screw hole, and using
screws provided, install
tension device with upper
hole 3/8” above mark.
Slide the same end of the
bead chain or cord through
the spring following the
base.
Hook the guide through
the end of the bead chain
or cord.
Pull the spring back
down the chain so it is
completely over the guide
and rests on the bottom
legs.
Using thin needle nose
pliers, grasp entire spring
on both sides with the
guide legs pointing up and
squeeze until completely
compressed together.*
* Keep pliers all the way to one side (next to one leg of the guide) to allow room for
insert to be pushed through in Step 6.
