Installation Guide

How to install a blind correctly

  • When installing a blind, it is crucial that the blind is perfectly horizontal and level to prevent the fabric from tracking to the sides during operation. Failing to do so will damage the fabric and possibly the control mechanism too. In extreme cases the blind could jam up and fall down.
  • If you screw into the gib, you will need longer screws.
  • If you have Duo blinds, insert the bottom blind (generally sunscreen) first.

The male bracket is the control bracket of single or duo brackets. Place and secure it with the adequate screws.

If necessary, with a pencil make a small mark where your control bracket will be secured (This will be where the back of the bracket is) and measure the width of the blind to establish where your pin end bracket will be.

The female bracket is the pin end bracket of single or duo brackets. Place and secure it with the adequate screws.

The following step 3 & 4 can be easier with 2 people.

Place the Chain winder or Motor head onto the tongue of the control bracket(male) ensuring that,

  • the chain is hanging free, and the chain cover (the top part of the control mechanism) is facing upwards.
  • the motor antenna is not obstructing the motor from fully sliding onto the bracket

Insert the blind pin end side and CLICK it into the pin end bracket (female).

Rotate the flat, clear disk on the pin end clockwise to tighten or extend the blind.

(To remove the blind, simply rotate the disk anti-clock. This will retract the pin into the mechanism and allow the blind to be taken down)

Set the chain control blind limit and install the child safe tensioner as below.

  • Using the chain, lower the blind to the pre-determined bottom limit. (Noting which way the chain is feeding into the chain control).
  • Once the blind is at the desired bottom limit, on the chain, identify the last ball you can see before the chain enters the mechanism and place a chain stopper on or above the ball. (The bottom limit is now set).
  • Using the chain, raise the blind to the desired top limit.
  • Once the blind is at the desired top limit, on the chain, identify the last ball you can see before the chain enters the mechanism and place the second chain stopper on or above the ball. (The top limit is now set).
  • Place the chain in the tensioner and pull the tensioner down to the easily moving and secure place to screw.
