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 on 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 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.
