Installation Instructions
The track is reversible, i.e. it may be mounted so that the controls are on the left or
right to suit your needs.
It is secured to the mounting clip by engaging the front of the track in the clip, then
rotating the back of the track upward until it snaps into the clip.
Vane Installation & Removal
To Install - Pull cord so that vane carriers extend across the entire track. Pull chain
to rotate the carriers so that they are at a 90 degree angle to the window. Attach the
vanes by pushing up until the hole snaps onto the hook. If vanes are curved PVC
or fabric, make certain that the curves or hems are all facing the same way.
To Remove - Push the vane up, then pull down while bending the side of the
hanger clip marked “A”. Do not bend the clip more than 1/4".
Track - Determine exactly where the track
should be mounted according to height of
blind, and any considerations for positioning
other than centred side to side of the window.
Install outside mounting brackets as
illustrated. End brackets should be attached
to the wall no more than 4" up from each end
of the track. If centre support brackets are
required they should be spaced as evenly as
possible.
Valance - The valance is mounted by sliding
the top of the valance on the top of each wall
mounting bracket as illustrated.
Inside or Ceiling Mount
Outside or Wall Mount
A

Track - Mount the installation clips (tab to rear) to the
inside of the casing, or ceiling, a minimum of 1 1/4"
from the window or wall to allow the vanes to tilt open
properly. The end clips should be attached no more
than 4" in from each end of the track. Any centre
supports required should be spaced evenly between
the ends.
Valance - The valance is attached directly to the
mounting surface (casing or ceiling), “sandwiched”
between the surface and the mounting clips as
illustrated. If the front surface of the valance is to be
flush with side casings or wall, you will need a
minimum of 4 ½" window recess.

Fabric Weights or Bottom Chain
Installation of Fabric Weights with Clip and Chain - Insert a weight into the hem of
each vane. Start at front or back at one of the end vanes, and snap a clip into the hole
on the edge of the weight. Snap the next clip to the same edge of the bottom
weight in the next vane, and carry on to the other end of the track. Do the same
thing with the other side of the vanes. If track is a centre split, cut front and back
chains between centre vanes to allow split.
PVC Chain - Thread supplies chain through keyhole at bottom of each vane leaving
enough chain between to allow vanes to hang straight.
Self-Aligning Vane Hangers
Your track is equipped with a self-aligning mechanism. In the event that a vane becomes misaligned, use
the following procedure to realign all vanes.
1. Rotate the vanes and apply slight pressure at the closed position (you should hear a ratchet sound).
2. Rotate the vanes in the opposite direction, also applying slight pressure at the closed position.
