Installation and Care Instructions : Clutch Operated Roller Shade
Tools Required:
Pliers
Carpenters level
Measuring tape
Power drill and drill bits
Screwdrivers or bits for drill
Starting installation: *The surface you are mounting shade on must be solid enough to support the
weight of shade and tension created by operation of chain operated clutch.
* Surface must be level or allow you to install mounting brackets level to each other.
STEP 1: Installing Mounting Brackets
There are two mounting brackets for each shade. One for the clutch end (Has three rectangle shapes in
center of bracket) and one for the idle end (Has one circle shape in center of bracket). See Exhibit 1.
Position idle end bracket on correct side of opening in which you are mounting shade. Attach bracket using
fasteners designed for surface you are mounting on. A minimum of two fasteners per bracket is recom-
mended. Refer to Exhibit 2 for correct orientation of brackets for both wall and ceiling mounts.
Refer to label on shade for shade width measurement, width will be the first number listed on label. Keep-
ing that width in mind, measure from outside surface of bracket you just installed and mark position for
next bracket. Position clutch end bracket at your mark and secure with fasteners. Again Refer to Exhibit 2
for correct orientation of brackets for both wall and ceiling mounts.
STEP 2: Mounting Shade:
Position shade with fabric going over the top of roll and down the back
side. The clutch side of the shade should line up with the clutch mounting
bracket if they do not match the shade roll is backwards or you have not mounted the brackets correctly.
When shade and brackets are lined up correctly you should insert the spring loaded idle end into the
mounting bracket and push gently to compress spring. Then swing clutch end of shade into mounting
bracket, line up the hook and nubs on the clutch with the bracket, insert into bracket and pull down gently
to lock shade to bracket. See Exhibit 2.
Shade is now ready to operate. Remove shrink wrap from shade roll. Remove chain from bag. Allow chain
to drop into its natural position. If you are using fascia mounting brackets (9) you need to install the chain
guide at this time. Refer to parts drawing for correct positioning of parts. Insert the two screws provided to
secure chain guide. Move safety hook on chain into lowest point on chain and secure to wall with proper
fastener. Do not put tension on chain with safety hook; chain should be loose as it hangs inside safety
hook.
STEP 3: Positioning Ball Stop:
Ball stops have been supplied with your shade which will be mounted on the chain to establish a top and
bottom stopping point.
Raise shade to the up most position of your choosing. Install the first ball stop on the top link of the chain;
just before it enters the chain guide. Use a pair of pliers to pinch the ball stop onto the chain. Now lower
the shade to the lowest position and install the second ball stop.
Critical Note: To insure you install ball stop on the correct side of chain watch the chain as you are raising
shade and install first ball stop on the side of chain that is going up into chain guide, the second ball stop
will be located on the opposite side of the chain.
Note: **For Roller Shades with Standard Mounting Brackets, use
Steps 1 thru 3. For Roller Shades with Fascia, use Steps 1 thru 5.
