SelectBlinds Comprehensive Roller Shade
ATTENTION!!! READ CAREFULLY!
This shade has a reliable long-lasting Spring Motor. The Spring Motor must
have proper tension in order to function as intended. Handling in transit can
effect spring tension. Therefore, please give special attention to Step 4 of
these instructions to optimize the performance of your shade.

Step 2. Tools required Screwdriver, tape measure, pencil, drill*, step ladder.

- Use 1/4” drill bit for wall anchors
Step 3. Bracket Location and Installation
Your window shade can be installed either inside the window frame or outside
the window frame or on the ceiling. When measuring and installing shades, make
sure there is a “play” between the roller and the brackets. Shades mounted too
tight in the brackets will not function properly. Attach brackets to inside or
outside of casing or to the ceiling. The slotted bracket goes on the left
side, the bracket with holes on the right.
For Outside Mounting / Ceiling Mount:
Hold shade to desired position, making sure it is level, and place pencil
marks at base of pin at each end of the roller. Secure brackets. For outside
mount, insert the round pin end into the inner hole of the right bracket. For
ceiling mount, insert the pin into the outer hole. Then insert the other end
of the shade into the slot of the left bracket.
For
Inside Mounting:
Allow 1/4” clearance between top of frame and fully rolled-up shade. This will
provide enough clearance to lift shade into slotted bracket. Spring loaded tip
provides up to 3/8” extra width if needed. Always insert the pin end into the
right side bracket first. If the brackets are installed as illustrated (facing
out), place the pin into the inner hole of the right bracket. If the brackets
are installed facing down (like Ceiling Mount), place the pin into the outer
hole of the right bracket. Push into bracket to compress the spring, then
place the metal tab on the left side of the shade into the slot of the left
bracket. For standard shades, the slotted bracket goes on the left side, the
bracket with holes on the right. For reverse-roll shades (inside mount only!),
the slotted bracket goes on the right, and the open part of the bracket must
face the window – the bracket can be mounted to the top or side of the window
frame.
Reverse Roll Mounting:
For reverse-roll shades (inside mount only!), the slotted bracket goes on the
right, and the open part of the bracket must face the window – the bracket
should be mounted to the top of the window frame [see
illustration].Standard Shades [the shade cloth rolls off
the back of the shade] – the slotted bracket goes on the left side of the
window, and the slot opening faces up or out, toward the room. (Inside Mount
Only!) Reverse Roll Shades [the shade cloth rolls off the front of the shade]
– the slotted bracket goes on the right side of the window opening, and the
slot opening faces back toward the window.
Step 4. Adjust Spring Tension
Spring Tension should be adjusted to assure best performance and to suit
personal preference. The tension on the spring should be neither too loose nor
too tight. When a window shade refuses to roll up, the spring is too loose.
When it won’t stay down the roller spring is too tight. To Increase Tension:
lower the shade about 18 inches from the top, and then remove it from the
brackets. Roll-Up the shade all the way to the top by hand, and then place the
shade back into the brackets as described in Step 3. Repeat as often as
necessary to achieve desired tension.
Caution:
over-winding may result in permanent damage to the spring motor.
To Decrease Tension: remove the shade from the brackets, and then unroll about
18 inches of shade material, and then place the shade back into the brackets
as described in Step 3. Repeat as often as necessary to achieve desired
tension.

Step 5. How to Operate
If this shade does not roll straight, correct as follows:
Make sure brackets are mounted level, or the shade will not roll straight. If
shade veers toward the right, correct by lowering shade completely and placing
a piece of tape (multiple pieces may be necessary) as close to the left edge
of the roller as possible. It will act as a shim.If shade veers toward the left, correct by
lowering shade completely and placing a piece of tape (multiple pieces may be
necessary) as close to the right edge of the roller as possible. It will act
as a shim.
Cleaning your Blinds
Cleans easily with a damp sponge or soft cloth. Allow the shade to hang it’s
full length for a minimum of 72 hours to minimize wrinkles and creases.

the top lip of the brackets. Push the bottom front of the headrail firmly
backwards and toward the window until the lip on the rear of the headrail
engages the bracket and snaps into place, (B) as shown. Cassette 120 For wall
