Installing the Wand

Remove the wand hanger from the headrail. Squeeze the bottom on both sides to release the lower legs. Lift up slightly and remove the hanger post from the top hole in the headrail.
Attach the “Internal L Hanger” onto the “Hanger Post”, ensure the “Internal L Hanger” is behind the tip of the screw.

Insert the post into the top hole in the headrail first. Then, squeeze the bottom of the hanger on both sides so that the lower legs will fit into the hole in the headrail. Make sure that the wires are not in the way of the legs.
Plug the control wire into the wand wire. The plugs will only fit together one way. Use a flat head screwdriver to tighten the wand cap screw into the headrail.
NOTE:
It may be necessary to hold the cap against the headrail while turning the screw to fasten the wand cap securely.

Installaling the Shade

•  With the front side of the shade facing you…
• Tilt the headrail slightly backward to angle the front inside lip to the brackets . Push here upward and toward the window
•  Push the headrail back and upward to snap in it into place .

Make sure that no fabric is pinched between the brackets and the headrail.

Removing the Shade
To remove a shade, insert a screwdriver between the head rail and the bottom back of the bracket (tab which extends out slightly from each bracket). Gently pry the screwdriver to release the bracket from the headrail. Take care not to damage the painted finish of the headrail. As you release the brackets, support the headrail to keep it from falling.
