Tools needed
- Rechargeable drill with 1/4 inch hex bit

Installation steps
1. Unpacking the parts
Locate all parts and brackets in the hardware box. Note that the quantity of parts varies based on the blind size. A Center Support Bracket is included only for blinds wider than 37 inches. Hold-down brackets are only included if specifically requested.
2. Bracket placement
Determine if you are performing an inside mount or an outside mount. Position the left and right brackets accordingly. If your blind is wider than 37 inches, install the Center Support Bracket in the middle.
3. Valance clips and wand
Attach the valance clips to the headrail. Assemble the wand components by snapping them together where applicable.
4. Finishing up
Slide the blind into the installed brackets. Attach the wand to the mechanism and install the valance onto the clips. If you have hold-down brackets, secure them to the bottom rail.
Operating instructions
To raise or lower the blind, simply lift or lower the bottom rail to the desired height. To open or close the slats, turn the wand until the slats reach the desired angle.
Important notes
Please note that this product is manufactured with up to 6 inches of additional height. For blinds over 84 inches, this may include up to 10 inches of additional height. This is considered normal for this product and is not a manufacturing defect.
