1. Hold the shade up near the brackets and insert the front clip of the
bracket into the front groove of the rail.
2. Make sure the shade is centered in the window opening.
3. Push the rail back and up until the back clips of the bracket are
inserted in the back groove of the rail.
To remove shade, reverse procedure.
A few simple tools are required:
-
Measuring
tape
-
Carpenters
Level
- Power drill or Phillips head Screwdriver
- ¼” Hex head and/or Phillips driver bit
Additional fasteners other than those sent with your shading may be
required depending on the mounting surface. Wallboard and plaster
require the use of anchors such as expansion or toggle bolts. Brick,
tile or stone need special plugs and drill bits. Remember to always
pre-drill holes in wood to avoid splitting.
Getting Started
Step 1: Bracket Installation
Step 2: Hanging the Shade
Optional Extension Brackets are used to project the back of the shade
up to 2 1/2” from the mounting surface. Attach the Mounting Bracket
to the Extension Bracket with the nut and bolt provided.
Line the bracket top with the desired height
of the top of the headrail.
Mark holes for screws. Remove brackets
and drill holes.
Insert screws for keyhole slots only. Ap-
proximately 1/8” of the screw should be left
protruding.
Pull the endcap out of the headrail and slide
the bracket on as shown. Replace the endcap
and then slide the bracket all the way into the
headrail.
Install the second bracket in the same
manner as the first bracket.
Hook one bracket onto the screw in the window frame, using the
keyhole slot. Bring the other end bracket over the screw at the other
side of the frame. Slide down, flexing bracket inward until the screw
engages in the keyhole slot.

Step 3: Operation
Press the button on the handle to raise or
lower the moveable rails. The rails will stay
in position when the button is released.
End brackets should be located as close to
each end as possible (edge of bracket approx.
1” from end).
Depending on the width of the
shade, additional brackets may be necessary
evenly spaced between the two end brackets.
Using the Installation Bracket as a template, measure and mark the
center lines. When mounting brackets, make sure they are in line and
level.
