Twist the back of the cassette upwards until it snaps into place against the back lip of the bracket.

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.
