How To Install
- Select the method of mounting your blinds that best suits your purpose (see illustrations A, B, C)
- Inside mounting to the inside or between the sides of window frame.
- Outside mounting to the face or outside of the window frame.
- Ceiling mounting to an overhead surface such as the top inside of window frame or ceiling.
- Measure where you want the blind to hang, make sure that the blind is centered and level.
When it is positioned properly, make a small pencil mark at each side of the blind to show where you attach the mounting brackets.
- Hold one bracket (the large holes face the floor) at the desired height and width you have chosen and mark the screw holes with a pencil.
Then insert and tighten screw through bracket slot.
- After the first bracket is mounted, carefully position and attach the second bracket.
Double check to ensure it is level with the first bracket and that the brackets are the proper distance apart.
- Pick up the blind and slide the headrail into the brackets. Make sure that the blind cord and the roto tilting collar face toward you.
Close the front cap on each bracket (see illustration D).
