Follow Headrail Mounting Instructions Section A. or B. Follow Louver Installation Section G. Follow Valance Installation Instructions Section C,D. A Cord weight and cord cleat should be attached to blind instead of tension pulley and cord clip. Since the blind is mounted at an angle, the louver holders will tend to slide "downhill". A cord cleat is provided to wrap the cord around and prevent the louvers from sliding. A cord weight will apply constant tension to the cord. install the cord cleat securely at a height to allow several turns of cord to be wrapped around it.(At least 18" above the cord weight) INSTALLATION OPTIONS: | |||||||||||||||

Un-Twisting Pull Cords After you mount your blind, your cords may be twisted together. Follow these instructions to untwist them. Open blind all the way. Pull out the knot that is farthest away from the end with the cords and chain. Use needle nose pliers, if you have one, to get at the knot. Hold the cord near the knot and the cord near the drive end and twist both of them in the same direction. Try twisting one way and then the other until you find the right way to untwist the cord. Pull the cords on the end of the blind to get the knot back inside the blind. J. MAINTENANCE LOUVER MAINTENANCE CLOTH- Clean by vacuuming VINYL (PVC) Clean with damp cloth and mild soap. A thin film of mild soap left on the louvers helps keep static electricity from building up. If Cleaning becomes necessary, it is recommended to use a mild non-abrasive household detergent such as 409 or Ivory dish washing liquid to wipe dust build-up from the louvers. LOUVER MAINTENANCE If closing or opening the blind becomes difficult, it is recommended to spray a small amount of silicon along the aluminum rod inside the headrail. Operate the blind a couple of times to be sure that the whole rod has been lubricated. Vacuum the headrail periodically to prevent dust accumulation. Headrail Maintenance is recommended every 2 years. NON-WOVEN TEXTILE MATERIAL: Several Conditions are inherent in the construction of this unique non-woven textile material:
