INSTALLATION
Fitting the brackets
Fitting the blind
Holding the shade at an angle, hook the lip at the front of the headrail over
the front hook of the bracket. Then, pushing back against the front of the
headrail, raise the back of the headrail and push upwards until it snaps into
place.
To remove the shade from the brackets, push
back against the front of the headrail and twist the back of the headrail
downwards until it disengages from the brackets.
Operation and spring tension
The shade’s spring mechanism is locked with a locking pin to prevent it unrolling during transit. Before you operate the shade for the first time, locate the locking pin and simply pull it out to remove it.
If you find that over time the spring mechanism is weakening (in that the shade does not easily retract when you raise it) then the tension can be increased very easily. Take the shade down from the brackets and locate the tension screw at one end. Using a screwdriver, turn the screw in the direction of the front of the shade. This will increase the tension in the spring and allow the shade to retract more easily. Make small adjustments (around 2 turns at a time) to avoid over-tensioning the spring mechanism. Attach clear handle(s) to the bottom rail by carefully sliding on.

Motorized Roller Shades with Cassette
The brackets offer two methods of installation:
Note that the position of the outermost brackets should be at least 5cm
away from the ends of the rail, with any other brackets evenly distributed
across the width.
FITTING THE SHADE:
Before you begin
We will have positioned the controls where you requested during the ordering process. However if you decide to swap the side that they are on, direction of the roll or need to trim the blind further, the controls can be removed by simply unplugging them from the tube. This should be done prior to fixing the brackets.
Fitting the brackets
The brackets offer three methods of installation:
Top Tip
Top-fixing or face-fixing are recommended for most installations, whereas
side-fixing is only recommended if the width you gave us was taken right at
the top of the recess.
Fitting the blinds
Locate the depression end (the opposite end to the controls) of the blind into
the cross-shaped hole in the corresponding bracket.
Lift the control end of the blind and slot the rectangular
‘lugs’ into the corresponding slots on the bracket.
