Outside Mount Method
If the installation requires you to hang the vertical blind on the wall or outside the window frame, you need to mount it using an outside mounting method. To do this you need to use the measurements of the blind’s height and add about ¼’’ to it.
Then using a measuring tape, measure from the floor up, the new height and mark the spot. Then screw in your first screw there. Next place an installation bracket on the wall about 3-4″ from the end of the headrail. Afterwards, insert a screw in the bracket and screw it in. Make sure the bracket is level and screw in the second screw. This will prevent the bracket from moving. Next, place the additional brackets across the headrail. Then place the clip release flange towards the wall or window. Finally tighten all screws so the brackets are securely mounted.
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.
