SelectBlinds Zebra Shades Installation Guide
Child Safety
Chain Tensioner
Shades with clutch controls come with a continuous chain loop, which should always be screwed to the wall with the included chain tensioner.
The chain tensioner should be installed to a flat surface, so the bead chain is taut but not stretched. Be sure not to twist or cross the chain.
On inside mount shades, the tensioner may be attached to the windowsill or to the inside of the window frame. For outside mount or wall mount shades, the bracket may be mounted to the exterior of the window frame or the wall.
With a pencil, mark the desired location of the screw holes for the tensioner
and then drill pilot holes. Then install the tensioner with the screws, making
sure that the tensioner is fully installed, so that the spring is pushed in
and the chain passes smoothly through the guide
The chain tensioner forms an important safety function by keeping chain loops away from small children. Never operate this shade without a functioning and correctly installed chain tensioner.
Please retain these instructions for the future reference.
Thank you for purchasing this product. Please read the instructions and warning carefully before installation to ensure safe and satisfactory use of this product.
Fitting the brackets
The brackets offer two methods of installation:
Top-Fixing
Use the front two holes in the top of the bracket to fix to the lintel (the
‘ceiling’ of the recess).
Face-Fixing
Use two screws through the back plate to mount onto a facing surface (a wall
or window frame)
Note that the position of the outermost brackets should be at least 5cm away
from the ends of the rail, with any other brackets evenly distributed across
the width.
Fitting the shade
Holding the rail at an angle, situate the T-shaped lip on the top of the
cassette into the front lip of the bracket.
Twist the back of the cassette upwards until it snaps into place against the
back lip of the bracket.
