spacer block(s) per installation
bracket to provide the clearance
required for the battery pack
and battery pack bracket.
• If using spacer block(s): stack spacer block(s)

Using #6 Hex Head Screws long enough for
secure installation (not provided), install
screws through the installation bracket and
spacer block(s) into mounting surface.
IMPORTANT:
Do not add more than 1

Proceed to “Install Batteries/Connect to Power Source” on page 10.
SIDE MOUNT
Prepare the Installation Brackets
Side mount the headrail when conventional mounting
techniques will not work — for example, in an arched window opening.
USE pliers or heavy-duty scissors to remove BOTH the top and bottom tabs on
the installation bracket.
• Mount the extension brackets on a surface at least 1
1
⁄
4
" wide.
• Attach the installation brackets to the extension
brackets using the provided screws and speed nuts.
Allow a minimum of 18" from the motor side of the
headrail and 15" between installation brackets to
accommodate the standard battery pack. See
page 11 for standard battery pack installation.
IMPORTANT:
When securing side mounted shadings into a
surface other than a secure wall stud, use medium to heavy-
duty wall anchors (not provided). Match anchors to the wall thickness.
Failure to mount the brackets securely may result in injury or property damage.
NOTE
: Spacer blocks cannot be used with side mount installations.
Proceed to “Install Batteries/Connect to Power Source” on page 10.
