Standard or Deluxe Roller Shade Installation - Skandia Window ...

PLEASE READ INSTRUCTIONS ENTIRELY
BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO INSTALL.
Important: Level mounting is essential for
proper shade installation.
A few simple tools are required:
• Steel tape measure
• Power drill and drill bits (if desired)
• Flathead and Phillips screwdriver
• Pencil • Level
• Awl (or tool for starting a screw hole)
Included in your order is all the hardware necessary
for a normal installation. Depending on the mounting
surface, fasteners other than the screws provided
may be required. Wall board and plaster
require the use of anchors such as expansion
brackets or toggle bolts. Brick, tile, and stone need
special plugs and drill bits. Wood should always be
pre-drilled to avoid splitting.

Bracket Installation
Mount a bracket opposite the
chain end of your shade in
the desired position (inside or
outside mount).
Mark the two holes in the
side of the bracket and install
the bracket using two screws
provided.
With your shade
still rolled up, insert
the spring loaded
end of your shade
into the installed
bracket.
Place the remaining
bracket onto the
control or chain end of your
shade and position this end
to the desired location.
Using a level, position
the shade so it is level
in the window casing,
if inside mount, or
above window casing,
if outside mount. Mark
the bracket location.
Install the
bracket using
two screws
provided.
Install Shade
Insert the spring
loaded pin end of
your shade into the
corresponding
bracket.
Keeping the pin end secured in it’s bracket, insert
the hook arms on the clutch straight into
the two hook arm receiver holes of the bracket.
Once the two hook arms are through the holes,
gently pull down on the clutch until the two
hool arms have locked securely to the bracket.
The bottom of the clutch should always point
straight down.
Install Bracket Covers, if applicable
Bracket covers are slid over the bracket until
snapped into position.
Shade Operation
Once the shade is secure, check the shade operation
by raising and lowering the shade using
the control chain. DO NOT attempt to raise or
lower the shade by pulling on the shade hem.
Full operation of the shade will not be possible
until the tension device is installed.
Operating the shade, pull slowly on the control
chain to avoid uneven tracking.
For full operation, the tension device must be installed.
Shade Removal
To remove the shade reverse the steps in the
Shade Installation.
Universal Drive Tension Device
Install Device
You can install the device inside window casing
with inside mount bracket, or outside window
casing with outside mount bracket. Make sure
the device is not placed in the path of the bottom
rail or fabric. At the job site, use cutting pliers to
carefully snip and remove the cable tie from the
device. Slide the device to the bottom of the tool
while pulling the screw hole in the device as
shown in Figure 1. The device must be properly
and securely mounted with tension on the drive
loop for the shade to be fully operable.

Universal Drive Tension Device (cont’d)
Inside Mount (see Figure 2)
1. Attach the device to the inside mount
bracket with the short screw as shown in Figure
2A. The nub on the bracket fits into the
back of the screw hole on the device.
2. Pull down on the bracket, align the center of
the screw hole part with the indicator line on
the device as shown in Figure 2B.
3. While holding the device firmly in place,
check if the loop can move freely through it.
a. If the device locks onto the loop, it is
too loose and the bracket and device should
be moved down.
b. If the loop does not run freely
through the device, it is too tight and the
bracket and device should be moved up.
4. Mark and pre-drill the screw holes.
5. Pull down on the bracket and device, align it
with the drilled holes, and mount the bracket
within the window casing with two long screws.
6. Check to ensure the loop can move freely
through the device without engaging the lock.
Outside Mount (see Figure 3)
Follow the same procedure as the inside
mount from step 1 to step 4, except outside
mount bracket should be used instead of inside
mount bracket. Detach the device from
the bracket by removing the short screw. Align
the bracket screw holes with the drilled holes
and mount the brackets to the wall with two
long screws. Reattach the device to the
bracket with the short screw. Check to ensure
the loop can move freely through the device
without engaging the lock.
NOTE: Bead chain connectors or stops will cause a
slight jump when going through the device. Certain
brand of bead chain connectors may not work with
the device.
