STANDARD INSTALLATION

1. Brackets
Mark the position of the mounting brackets on the window frame or roof light, as shown in the
diagram. Make sure the mounting position is strong enough to take the weight. Choose a position
where the blind can be operated without interference from protruding objects such as window
or door latches, handles, etc.
2a. Installing wall and rooflight brackets
Using the screws provided, mount the brackets in one of the positions shown in the diagram. If
necessary, the wedges supplied can be used with angled window frames.
2b. Mounting to plastic or aluminium window frames
The clamp mount shown is available for use with plastic or aluminium side-hung or tilting
windows. Use an Allen key to fix the clamp to the plastic or aluminium frame.
3. Mounting the head rail
Slip the head rail over the front edge of the clip and then press the rail upwards until it clicks
into place.
OPERATION
The blind can be operated in several ways, depending on your chosen configuration:
4. Cord and cord lock
4a. Pull the cord towards the centre of the blind (A) to release the cord lock, after that you can raise or
lower the blind (B).
4b. Pull the cord back towards the side (C) to lock the cord.
Important: You should pull the cord to the right or left, NOT to the front.
5a. Using the handle
The angle of the handle may be adjusted on the ratchet mechanism.
5b. Using the wand operation (optional)
Locate the end of the wand onto the handle; rotating in an anti clockwise direction will lock it
onto the handle.
6. Using the endless cord
Pull on this cord to operate the blind.
Electric operation (not shown)
Use the switch to raise or lower the blind.

INSTALLATION OPTIONS

There are a number of installation options, depending on your application.
7. 'In Recess' side guide with footplate
The guide wire must be located vertically under the head rail. The length of the guide wire is set
when the blind is ordered.
'On Face' side guide with footplate
The guide wire must be located vertically under the head rail. Mount the bracket so it holds the
guide wire taught.
8a. 'In Recess' side guide with tensioning rail
Install the bottom rail using the same method as for the head rail (see point 2a 'Standard
installation').
8b. Adjusting the tension
It is easy to adjust the tension using the red plastic accessory supplied. Place it over the tensioner
in the bottom rail, and slide it to the left or right until the desired tension is achieved. Remove
the plastic accessory and keep it safe in case you need to adjust the tension at some other time.
9. Installing 'In Recess' cover strips
Screw the cover strips firmly into the frame.
10. Half-round and quarter-round windows
Install the rail as described in points 1 and 2a 'Standard installation'.
If installing a Luxaflex® Duette® Shade, mount the arch support clips at equal intervals. The back
of the fabric locates between the two 'fingers'.
If installing a Luxaflex® Plissé Shade, screw the cup hooks to line up with the eyelets mounted in
the fabric. Hang the fabric onto the hooks.
DEMOUNTING
11. Raise the blind fully. Insert a screwdriver behind the head rail, between the bracket and the rail.
Turn the screwdriver to release the head rail.
Note: If you are using tensioning cords, first remove the head rail, then the bottom guide.
