Vertical Blind Installation

To begin with, mount the vertical headrail on the window frame. To do this you need to use installation clips. If the blind is larger than 52’’ you will need to use three or more clips. However any those are 52’’ or less can manage with two clips, which should be placed at each end and about 4 inches from the edge.

The clips are attached up to the ceiling of the window frame using a screw in the hole closest to the flange at back. The hole needs to be about 2 1/4″ away from the window, wall or other obstacles to allow proper fane rotation. The take the valance and hold it up to the window, center it and screw it up through the back hole about ½’’ from the back edge.

Next you need to install the headrail. You need to decide which side you wish the control chain and traverse cord to hang from. Then center the headrail to the mounting clips. Afterwards, place the front lip of the headrail into the groove at the front end of the clip; rotate the back of the headrail up until it finally snaps into the back.

After that is complete, time comes to attach the vanes. To do this you need to pull on the traverse cord so the vane holders spread out. Then rotate the chain until the openings in the stem faces outwards towards you. Next, hold the vane and push it up into the vane and proceed by then pulling the vane down until it locks into the hook.

Finally comes the mounting of the tension pulley. It should be placed on the bottom baseboard or wall. There should be two holes in the base where the screws go in at. Once the pulley is attached and secured, place the loop of the vertical cord in through the top part of the pulley.

Then choose the knotted end that is the farthest from the traverse cord and chain and pull until the tension pulley becomes taut. Get a marker and mike a small marking dot at this point and follow up by releasing the traverse chord. Now pull the chord back out to where you marked it with the marker and tie a knot at that location. Next, put the loop back into tension pulley and traverse verticals. If it works right, cut off the access string below the knot.

And there you have it.
