How to Install Vertical Blinds

Mounting fasteners should be selected to suit mounting surface:

OUTSIDE/WALL MOUNT (WITHOUT VALANCE)

• For standard and deluxe track (aluminum), mount "L" brackets not more than 3" from each end of track and not more than 30" apart over remaining length.
• Adjust mounting clips to allow 1/2" clearance between louver and wall. Example - 2 1/4" for 3 1/2" louvers.
• Track should be centered under mounting clips, insert track into short end of mounting clip and snap into place with rolling motion toward rear.

OUTSIDE/WALL MOUNT (WITH VALANCE)

• Snap on valance hangers next to each "L" bracket.
• Center valance on track and slide all the way into hanger.

INSIDE/CEILING MOUNT (WITH VALANCE)

• Valance must be drilled and positioned between mounting clips and ceiling.
• The top inside surface of the valance is scored with three parallel lines. On most installations, the center line should be aligned with the screw-hole line, hold in place, drill through valance and into ceiling.
• Insert appropriate screw through the mounting clip tightening valance against ceiling. (Insert track in place as described.)

INSIDE/CEILING MOUNT (WITHOUT VALANCE)

• Measure depth to allow _" clearance between louver and window. Example - 2" for 31/2" louvers.
• Attach mounting clips to ceiling not more than 3" from each end of aluminum track and not more than 30" apart over remainder of track.
• Track should be centered under mounting clips, insert track into short end of mounting clip and

VALANCE ASSEMBLY CLOSED CORNER

• Cut fabric insert 1" longer than valance at each end.
• Position fabric and wrap excess around ends.
• Hold fabric into place with closed corner.
• Cut fabric flush with end of return groover.
• Repeat on returns, taping or stapling loose (wall) end of return.

OPEN CORNER

• Cut fabric long enough to wrap around open corner and cover the entire valance return plus at least 1" excess.
• Position open corner and valance returns.
• Position fabric, wrap over open corner and return.
• Trim excess fabric at wall end of valance return and secure with tape or staples.

ATTACHING LOUVERS

• Turn louver hooks perpendicular to window or wall.
• Push each louver into hook until it snaps into place.
• NOTE: With grooved louvers and fabric, make sure the louver is inserted against the longer prong. This will prevent the mounting hook from snagging fabric.

REMOVING LOUVERS Gently open louver hook with finger and remove louver as shown.

ADJUSTING CORD LENGTH

SIDE DRAW TRACK Pull cord to locate blind in fully opened position. Locate knot on end of cord in exposed lead carrier. Pull knot until cord weight reaches desired position. Tie new knot in cord and cut off excess. CENTER DRAW TRACK Pull cord to locate blind in fully closed position. Locate knots on end of cords in lead carrier. Select one of the 2 cord ends and pull on the knot. Observe the carriers to be sure that they do not move when you pull the cord. If they do then select the other cord.(CAUTION -Cutting wrong cord will damage beyond repair.) Pull this cord until the cord weight reaches the desired position. Tie new knot in cord and cut off excess.
