Materials Needed
Installation Process
- Begin by installing the brackets. First, measure and mark the ordered width of the shade inside the window casement. A minimum of 3” is required for mounting.
- Note that if you’ve chosen to include bracket covers, leave a 1/8” gap between the bracket and the mullion.
- Place your first bracket in its mounting location and mark the screw holes.
- Next, pre-drill your screw holes using a 1/8” drill bit and then go ahead and attach the brackets with the provided screws using the 1/4” hex driver.
- The brackets should be level and aligned.
- Next, install the clutch end of the shade onto the tab on the clutch-side bracket. The bottom of the clutch should always point straight down.
- Finally, push the idle end into the shade and place into the idle end bracket.
- Secure the shade by turning the locking ring away from the bracket. At this point, the tape band and child safety tag can safely be removed.
- Now is a good time to check that the shade is level and aligned and functioning poorly.
- Now you’re ready to install the cord tensioner. Please review videos below for instructions.
- If no further adjustments need to be made, proceed with installing the fascia. Insert the top lip of the fascia into the top insert of the bracket. Rotate the fascia down toward the window, applying pressure until the fascia snaps into place.
- Check to ensure fascia is secure. Note that if bracket covers were not required, the fascia will run the full desired length.
- Check shade functionality one final time!
Uninstallation Process
- If optional bracket covers were installed, start by sliding them out. To remove the fascia, push upward from the bottom of the fascia and pull away from the brackets.
- Next, remove the cord tensioner.
- Loosen the locking ring by turning it in the direction of the bracket.
- Using a flathead screwdriver, push the idle end into the shade. Lower the idle end side to allow removal of the clutch end.
- You’re now ready to Uninstall the brackets using the 1/4” hex driver!
Congratulations!
You have now successfully installed and uninstalled an outside mounted RB+ 500 Manual Standard Duty System with 3” Fascia.
