SelectBlinds ROLLER SHADES Installation Instructions

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS – ROLLER SHADES

Tools Required:

Tape measure, pencil, drill, drill bits, screw driver, step
stool or ladder.
Note: use a 5/64" drill bit to pre-drill the screw holes
(for attachment to a wall stud or header board). Use
Wall Anchors (not included) for hollow dry wall or plaster
mounting.

Step 1. Mount the Brackets

attach the brackets to the window frame, molding or
ceiling as shown. The brackets are "universal" – there
are no "right" and "left" brackets. Mark the screw
locations with a pencil – pre-drill the screw holes using
a 5/64" drill bit.

Step 2. Install the Shade

Put the spring loaded pin into the round hole of the
bracket, push the spring loaded tip into the bracket,
and then insert the hook arms on the opposite side of
the shade into the two hook arm receiver holes of the
bracket. Once the two hook arms are through the holes,
gently pull down until the two hook arms have locked securely to the bracket. For cord control
shades, the bottom of the clutch should always point straight down.

Step 3. Install the Bracket Covers

– For Outside Mount Shades Only!
Bracket covers slide onto the brackets as shown until
they snap into position.

Step 4. Install the Chain Tension Device

The tension device must be installed to make sure the
shade is fully operable.
Before doing anything, you must first slide the tension
device to the bottom of the bead chain.
While holding the tension device in one hand, pull the plunger away from the bead chain with the
other hand. Lift the bead chain out of the bead locking groove and slide the tension device to the
bottom of the chain loop.
Pull the tension device down until the bead chain is fully tensioned (plunger will be at the top)
and then move the tension device up appoximately 1/8".
Mark the screw hole locations on the wall with a pencil.
Inside Mount: if mounting into wood, pre-drill screw holes and then install the tension device
using the 1¼" Phillips head screws provided.
If not securing into wood, use appropriate anchors for the substrate and follow anchor
manufacturer's instructions.

Outside Mount: Align the mounting bracket screw holes with the pencil marks.
If mounting into wood, pre-drill screw holes and then install the mounting bracket using the 1¼"
Phillips head screws provided.
If not securing into wood, use appropriate anchors for the substrate and follow manufacturer's
instructions.
Press the tension device onto the mounting bracket posts. Carefully attach the Tension Device to
the bracket using the 3/8" Phillips head screws provided. DO NOT OVER-TIGHTEN.

Step 5. Operating the Shade

Pulling gently on the cord in one direction raises the shade; pulling it in the other direction lowers
it. On shades where the fabric rolls against the window, the front cord lifts the shade. On shades
where the fabric rolls toward the room, the rear cord lifts the shade.

Step 6. Hold Down Brackets for Outdoor Shades

The elastic straps on each side of the bottom rail loop onto
the open 'C' section of the hold down brackets as illustrated.
Attach the hold down brackets to a wall, post or other solid
surface. Use 1" screws (or screws and anchors) to attach the
brackets. Put tension on the straps by stretching them when
positioning the brackets.

Cleaning the Shades

Dusting: Vacuum using the soft brush attachment. Washing:
Use a cloth, sponge or soft brush and a mild detergent. Use warm or cold water, not hot water.
Place toweling on the floor or window sill and wash the blind in sections.
