INSIDE MOUNT
STEP 1
Center the shade horizontally and flush with the front of the window jamb. Rings and lift cords face the window. Ensure no excess material is pinched or drilled through during installation.
NOTE: Traditional Style shown
STEP 2
While holding the shade in place, locate the pre-drilled holes in the headrail and mark them in the window jamb. If the headrail is fabric-wrapped, an “Installation Here” label indicates the hole locations.
NOTE: Holes above motor tube are angled, holes on sides are straight.
STEP 3
Remove the shade from the window. Using a 1⁄16" drill bit, sink pilot holes at marks in the window frame.
NOTE: Holes above motor tube are angled, holes on sides are straight.
STEP 4
Align the shade with the pilot holes. Secure shade to the window jamb using #8 x 1-1/2" wood screws. Tighten the center screw first to allow for adjustment.
NOTE: Holes above motor tube are angled, holes on sides are straight.
STEP 5
INSIDE MOUNT TENSION DEVICE
With flat side of tension device flush against the window jamb, pull straight down until control loop is taut and plunger spring is fully contracted. Then move tension device up approximately 1/8" to relieve stress on control loop. Mark for screw holes through the tension device.
STEP 6
Sink pilot holes, then install tension device with two provided long wood screws.
OUTSIDE MOUNT
STEP 1
Secure the provided brackets to the headrail in each pre-drilled hole. An “Installation Here” label indicates hole locations if the headrail is fabric-wrapped.
STEP 2
Hold the shade in the desired location on the wall or window casing. Clearly mark the wall on top of each bracket location. Remove the brackets from the headrail.
STEP 3
Starting at one side of the window, position brackets beneath each marking. Mark each hole location.
STEP 4
Install bracket using provided #8 x 1-1/2" wood screws and/or appropriate fasteners. If using other fasteners, be sure to also use an appropriately sized bit if drilling pilot holes.
STEP 5
Install the remaining brackets, working from one side of the window to the other. Use a level to ensure that each bracket is aligned.
STEP 6
Lift the shade up into the brackets and reinstall the wing nuts, hand-tightening until snug.
STEP 7
Once the shade is installed, attach the side returns on each end of the headrail using hook-and-loop fasteners.
STEP 8
OUTSIDE MOUNT TENSION DEVICE
Place tension device onto clear bracket. Holding bracket against wall or casing, pull tension device down until control loop is taut and plunger spring is fully contracted. Then move tension device up approximately 1/8" to relieve stress on control loop. Mark for screw holes through the tension device bracket.
STEP 9
Remove tension device from bracket. Align bracket with pencil marking. Sink pilot holes, then install device with two provided long wood screws.
STEP 10
Press tension device onto mounting bracket posts. Secure with two provided short screws through tension device into mounting bracket.
