TOP (INSIDE) MOUNT FACE (OUTSIDE) MOUNT For latest information about this product visit www.coolaroo.com STEP 1 Space the three quick mount brackets evenly along the length of your blind. Mark the left, right and centre bracket positions on your installation surface. NOTE: For top mount installation the bracket tabs should face forwards. For face mount installations the bracket tab should face downwards. Allow at least 5cm (2”) of clearance between the bracket and the wall or ceiling to allow enough clearance for fitting and removing the pelmet. In the marked positions attach the three quick mount brackets using the timber screws. Ensure the screws are penetrating into tiimber. If mounting to masonry, use the 5mm wall plugs. IMPORTANT: If the brackets are installed upside down or backwards, the pelmet will not lock into the brackets. STEP 2 Fit the pelmet by first locating the hooks on the bracket into the channel on the pelmet . Then push the pelmet firmly onto the brackets until all three latches snap securely into the channel. NOTE: Use the channels on top of the pelmet for top (inside) mount installations and the channels on the side of the pelmet for face (outside) mount installations. STEP 3 Bungee tie downs have been provided to secure your exterior blind down in mild to moderate wind conditions. Thread the bungee cord through the end cap ring and back through itself, making a lark’s head knot. Use the timber screws to install the receiver approximately 13cm (5”) below where the blind will stop. Fit a receiver on each side of the blind. Use the 5mm wall plugs if screwing into masonry. Attach the bungee to the receiver to secure the blind when in the down position.
