Please visit www.ShadeInfo.com to register your shade purchase or to view an installation video. We recommend two (2) people install this shade. A power drill, tape measure, leveling device, and Phillips screwdriver bit are recommended for installation (not included). Some parts shown in this manual may differ slightly than the product you have purchased.

Part List

Please lay out and take an inventory of all parts prior to assembly. Please give us a call if you are missing any parts. Read the instructions in their entirety prior to beginning assembly and installation. Note: this shade must be installed into wood studs. If woods studs are not available, anchoring hardware must be used (not included). Install the Crank Ring

Using the Ring Screw, and Large Lock Washer provided in the pole package, attach the Ring to the Crank Mechanism (Fig. A).

Determine Your Installation Type

Your shade can be installed against a wall (Fig B) or against a ceiling/overhang (Fig C). Your shade brackets are prepared for a wall installation. If you would like to prepare your shade for a ceiling installa- tion, please see the last page of this manual for help preparing the brackets.

Mark holes for installation

An installation template has been provided to help position your pilot holes. To use the template, temporarily attach your template to your mounting surface (Fig. D ) and drill your pilot holes in the four shaded areas as shown in Figure E. Remove the template before moving to the next step.

Install Brackets

Using the provided screws, install the Crank Bracket and Plug Bracket (Fig F and G). Note: The Crank Bracket should be placed on the right side of the shade and the Plug Bracket should be placed on the left side of the shade.

Install Shade

To install your shade, start by inserting the Crank Plug into the Crank Bracket (Fig H). Next rotate/open the Plug Bracket and insert the shade, mak- ing sure to hear a “click” as the pin locks into place (Fig I). If your shade moves side-to side after installation, we rec-ommend that you adjust the brackets to reduce any lateral movement between the shade and the brackets. To reduce lateral movement, roll your shade down and loosen the screws on both of your brackets slightly. Push the brack-ets in, (towards each other), to reduce the distance between the brackets (Fig J).

Assemble Pole

Before you begin, please note that your Pole can be assembled to be any of the following three (3) lengths:

• 2 ft. long
• 4 ft. long
• 6 ft. long
  Using two (2) Pole Screws and two (2) Lock Washers, attach the Handle to the Pole with Handle using the Handle Connector (Fig K).

If you desire a 2 ft. Pole, you can now attach the Hook to the Pole with Handle (us-ing a Pole Screw and Lock Washer; see Fig. L) If you desire a longer pole, please continue reading Step 6.

For a 4 ft. Pole:

Attach a Pole Extender to the Pole with Handle using one (1) Connector Piece and two (2) Pole Screws and two (2) Lock Washers (Fig M). Then, attach the Hook to the Pole Extender
(Fig L).

For a 6 ft. Pole:

Attach a Pole Extender to the Pole with Han-dle using one (1) Connector Piece and two (2) Pole Screws and two (2) Lock Washers (Fig M). Then, connect the two (2) Pole Extenders to each other using a Pole Connector. Finally, attach the Hook to the Pole Extender (Fig L).

Changing Installation type

By default, your shade is prepared for a wall installation (Fig M) and comes with the Crank Bracket on the right side of the shade. If you require a ceiling installation or you would like to move your crank to the left side of the shade, you will need to make a few small changes to your brackets. To change your brackets, begin by removing your bracket covers (Fig N). Remove the 2 screws from the Crank Bracket (Fig O) and the 3 screws from the Plug Bracket (Fig P). After removing the screws from both brackets rotate the hardware to match desired installation configuration (Fig Q, R or S).

Note: If you changed your Crank Bracket to the left side, you must reverse the hinged portion of the Plug Bracket (Fig T). You will also need to remove the Crank Plug (Fig U) and the Plug with Pin (Fig V) from the top tube and switch their positions.

Install Bungee System

The shade includes two (2) Bungee Tie Downs to secure the bottom of both sides of your shade. To install the Bungee System, start by feeding the Bungee through the Bottom Tube Plugs located at each end of your Bottom Tube (Fig. K). Then insert the Bungee into the Hook and drill the Hook into a wall/post using one (1) Bracket Screw from your hardware box. To prevent fabric stretching/damage, hooks should be installed directly underneath the Bottom Tube Plugs so there is equal tension on each bungee. Important: Your shade should be rolled up during windy conditions. The Bungee System is only effective in light wind. When using your shade, we recommend leaving at least one (1) roll of fabric wrapped around the top tube.

Change the roll direction of your shade

The default fabric roll direction of your shade is “reverse”. That is, the fabric rolls from the back side of the top tube. If you want the fabric to roll from the front side of the top tube, simply roll your shade down until it rolls itself back up on the other side of the shade. If you reverse the roll of your fabric, you will need to move the Ring so it does not interfere with the fabric (see below).

Moving the ring from the front to the back of the shade

The default placement for your Ring is in the front of your shade. That is, the Ring is placed near the front of the fabric roll. If you reversed the roll of your fabric, we recommend that you change the location of your Ring.
Before you begin, make sure the shade has been removed from the brackets. To begin, remove your bracket cover from the Crank Mechanism. Then re-move the two screws from the outside of the Crank Mechanism (Fig R). Then, reverse the Ring and re-sinstall the Screws (Fig S). Now you can re-install the shade.

Maintenance

To clean your shade simply rinse with water and scrub with any non-abrasive cleaner (using bleach or other abrasive cleaners will void your warranty). Roll the shade down to air dry.  Exterior Pole Operated Sun Shade with Valance Installation and Care Instructions Installation video available at www.shadeinfo.com))

Install Valance Brackets
Your shade includes three (3) Valance Brackets, you must install at least two (2) of them. Install one (1) Valance Bracket near each end of the shade. Note: the Valance Brackets cannot be installed on the extreme edges of the shade, you will need to allow at least 2 inches (5 cm) at the ends of each side. We recommend installing the Valance Brackets on the closest stud to each end of the shade, remembering to allow at least 2 inches (5 cm)from each end. If wood studs are not available, you will need to use anchors (notincluded).If you are installing the third Valance Bracket (recommended), we suggest installing it on a wood stud near the center of the shade. It needs to be aligned with the two (2) end Valance Brackets. If wood studs are not available, you will need to use anchors (not included). Visit your local hardware store for more information.
Your shade includes a paper template to help align your pilot holes. Use of the template is optional, but recommended. To use the template, temporarily adhere to your surface. Make sure the template is flat, level and unwrinkled before adhering it to your surface. Remove the template before you install your Valance Brackets. Important note: your shade will not install correctly unless your Valance Brackets are perfectly aligned with each other. We recommend using a laser level (not included) to align the screw holes.

WALL INSTALLATION

For wall installations, you need to allow at least 1 inch (2.5 cm) above the Valance Bracket to allow the Valance to hook onto the Valance Bracket (only if there is a ceiling that overhangs the shade) (see Fig D).
For a wall installation, make sure the plastic tabs on your Valance Brackets are pointing towards the ground (see Fig E). Use the Bracket Screws to install the Valance Brackets.

CEILING INSTALLATION

For ceiling installations, you need to allow at least 1 inch (2.5 cm) behind the Valance Bracket to allow the Valance to hook onto the Valance Bracket (only if there is a wall/window behind the shade) (see Fig F).
