- Page 19 STEP 14 Fixing the blind. Check the blind is square by measuring the diagonals. They should be equal. When fixing the brackets in place, measure at each fixing point to ensure the channels are the same distance apart across the whole length. Fix the brackets into place using the screws provided.
- Page 20 STEP 15 Connecting the blind to power. Re-fit the cassette front covers, ensuring you thread the cable through the cable exit grommet on the fabric end. If a cable exit was not specified on the order, you will need to drill your own with a 13mm drill bit, and fit the supplied grommet. Connect the blind to your permanent power supply, and fully close and open it to test it.
- Page 21 STEP 16 Adjusting the blind (if necessary). If the blind isn’t running smoothly, or doesn’t fully close, it may be necessary to slacken the screws on the adjustable brackets to improve the running of the blind. Alternatively, you may be able to tighten the screws and keep the fabric flatter.
