Then find wooden studs where you ll want to attach the brackets; if you need to mount your shades to wallboard or plaster, use a secure fastener designed for hollow wall applications. For metal surfaces, pre-drill holes and use the included screws. For concrete, stone, brick, or tile surfaces, use a masonry drill and appropriate plugs, anchors, or screws. Additional fasteners other than those sent with your shade may be required. It s important when selecting a fastener to make sure it s designed to support the weight of the shade.

Step 10 Leveling the Shade Troubleshooting ADJUSTMENT SCREWS If the rail is uneven at the top, raise the low side with the outer adjustment screw. Level the Moving Rail Motorized Skylight Shades use a system that allows easy leveling of the moving rail. It is designed to make slight adjustments (Less than 1") to level the moving rails of your shade. It is not designed to make length adjustments. Use a flat head screwdriver or a coin (a quarter works the best) to turn the adjustment screw to raise or lower that side of the bottom rail. The adjustment screw is on the top of the moving rail. One quarter turn of the screw will move the moving rail up or down approximately 1 4". Over-turning the adjustment screw (more than 1" of adjustment) can cause the cord to tangle or wedge inside the rail. The screw should turn easily - Do Not Force. PROBLEM SOLUTION 1 The motor does not work and the shade is stuck in the closed position Carefully pull down on the moving rail enough to allow access. Follow solution below. If this required, limits will need to be reset. See Setting Limits on Pg 12. 2 The motor does not work 1. Check that the power source and motor are connected properly. 2.
