Vertical Blind
Installation Instructions
Safety Tension Devices are designed to minimize
the hazards of strangulation and entanglement of
small children by restricting access to the chain
control. The safety tension device is sent from
the factory already attached to each chain con-
trol. Screw the safety tension device into the
wall or window frame with a screw.
Critical Note: The safety device should be in-
stalled so that the bead chain and bead stop balls
move smoothly through the opening of the de-
vice. Removal of this device or failure to properly
install it, can cause damage to the clutch lifting
mechanism and will result in the voidance of the
product’s limited lifetime warranty.
Pull the metal bead chain once in each
direction, rotating the louvers from
front to back. This step will align all of
the louvers.
Alternatively pull
the nylon cords
to ensure that
the blind travers-
es smoothly in
both directions.
Caution: Do not
traverse
the
blind with the
louvers in the
closed position.
For inside or ceiling mounts, install the headrail
bracket clip mounting screw through the valance
as shown. Make sure louvers do not touch the
valance. Note: No valance clips are needed for
Inside Mount Installation.
For outside mounts, a plastic valance clip is
provided. Snap the valance clips onto the
aluminum headrail. Then, slide the top dust cover
of the valance into the plastic valance clips until
they lock in place.
Before installing, review the chart to the right to
confirm the correct # of valance clips per blind.

Valances are available with Square Snap in Corner
Returns or Round Corner Returns. Returns for
Round Corner Valances will come preassembled.
For Square Corner Valance Returns, slide the clear
plastic corner clip onto the top edge of the
valance. Then slide the valance return into the
other side of the corner clip as shown. Valance
returns may be trimmed to fit if necessary with
heavy duty scissors.

Cord & Chain Control
To rotate the louvers, gently pull the nickel plated metal bead chain. To traverse the
louvers, gently pull on the nylon cord. For proper traversing of the louvers, it is critical
that the louvers be rotated to the open position prior to pulling on the cord to draw
the louvers across the window opening.
If louvers become tangled or have moved out of alignment with use, re-adjustment is
simple. With your hand, gently adjust the louvers so they are all facing the same
direction. Make certain that the louvers are overlapping each other in the correct
direction. Pull the metal bead chain until you hear a grinding sound. Give the chain an
additional gentle pull. This grinding noise comes from the louver carriers re-aligning
themselves. Now pull the chain in the opposite direction and all of the vanes will be
aligned correctly.
Wand Control
To rotate the louvers, rotate the wand in the direction you want the louvers rotated.
To traverse the louvers, rotate the louvers to the open position. Then, push or pull the
wand to open (stack louvers) or close (unstack louvers) the blind. If louvers are
installed with the front of the louver facing the wand, the wand will be in front of the
louvers when the blind is rotated closed. If the louvers are installed with the back of
the louver facing the wand, the wand will be in back of the louvers when the blind is
rotated closed.
For Outside Mount Installations, use the following # of Valance Clips based on the Blind Width:
Up to 54” 54- 1/8” - 84” 84 ⅛” - 108” 108 ⅛” - 132” 132 ⅛” - 156” 156 ⅛” - 180”
