INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
VERTICAL BLINDS
Wand Control
WARNING: Product is heavy. Mount into wood/metal studs or into concrete with concrete anchors. Drywall anchors are not recommended.
Install the Brackets
Inside mount (IB), brackets should be minimum of 2 1/4” from the glass or back wall to allow for rotating the vanes. If applicable, mount the valance at the same time (see Install the Square Corner Valance).
Outside mount (OB), mount brackets 3/4” taller than the height of the blind.
Space Brackets Evenly
| Blind Width | # of Brackets |
|---|---|
| Up to 41” | 2 |
| 41 1/8” – 81” | 3 |
| 81 1/8” – 121” | 4 |
| 121 1/8” – 161” | 5 |
| 161 1/8” – 192” | 6 |
Important: Space brackets evenly apart from each other for optimum weight distribution. Uneven distribution may cause issues such as uneven vane alignment and light gaps. Make sure to install headrail on level surface as uneven surfaces may cause alignment issues.

Install the Square Corner Returns
Install the Vanes
First, rotate stem to the open position. Then, insert slotted end of the vanes
into the stem and gently pull down to ensure the vane on the hook.
Remove the vanes by inserting a card between the vanes and the hook (A).
Attach the Wand Control
(1) Press the link down into the traversing wand gear to fix in place. Then
(2), assemble the wand to the link. Finally (3), release the link by pulling
upwards.
Note: Holes on top of wand must engage with pegs on the link.
Safety Wand Control Operation
IMPORTANT: Vanes must be in the open position to traverse as shown in
illustration.
A single wand is attached to the lead carrier. Operate the blind by twisting
the wand to rotate the vanes open and closed. Pull the wand across the
headrail/track to traverse the vanes.
IMPORTANT: When traversing the wand, do not tilt the wand up and away
from the blind as this may cause the wand to disengage from the wand gear. If
the wand disengages, simply follow the steps in “Attach the Wand Control” to
re-attach.
For best results, operate the wand perpendicular to the headrail and push or
pull the wand across to the left or right.
