INSTALLING YOUR SHADE:
OpERATING YOUR SHADE
The shade can be raised and lowered by pulling on the front or the back chain.
CARING FOR YOUR SHADE
Your shade is attached to the head rail by velcro so that it can be removed for
professional dry cleaning if necessary. do not wash your shade. Soaps and
liquid cleaners may stain the fabric.
1. First note how the bracket fits into the head rail
by pushing the front of the head rail against the
movable plastic tab. [Figure 1]
2. Position brackets at a convenient distance from
each end of the head rail and mark the desired
bracket locations with a pencil. make sure the
brackets are level and in line with each other, or
the head rail may not engage correctly.
3. Pre-drill the mounting holes into the mounting
surface and screw the brackets into place.
check that the brackets are level.

hold the shade up to the brackets and push the
front of the head rail against the movable tab in
the bracket until the head rail snaps into place.
[Figure 4]
Shades with clutch controls come with a continuous
chain loop, which should always be screwed to the
wall with the included chain tensioner.
1. The chain tensioner should be installed to a
flat surface, so the bead chain is taut but not
stretched. be sure not to twist or cross the chain.
[Figure 5]
on inside mount shades, the tensioner may be
attached to the windowsill or to the inside of the
window frame. For outside mount or wall mount
shades, the bracket may be mounted to the
exterior of the window frame or the wall.
2. With a pencil, mark the desired location of the
screw holes for the tensioner and then drill pilot
holes. Then install the tensioner with the screws,
making sure that the tensioner is fully installed, so
that the spring is pushed in and the chain passes
smoothly through the guide.
[Figure 5]
The chain tensioner forms an important
safety function by keeping chain loops away
from small children. Never operate this shade
without a functioning and correctly installed
chain tensioner.
