How to Install Pleated Blinds

Inserting the Headrail

Insert the head rail into the brackets as shown, then push it up until it clicks into place completely.

Child Safety

The safety device must be mounted as close to the top rail as possible and always at least 1500 mm above the floor. The cord must be completely wrapped around the safety device when the pleated blind is not in use.

Place the safety device in the desired position on the wall and mark the hole positions with a pencil. Use suitable screws to securely fasten the safety device to the wall.

Wrap the ropes around the safety device. When the ropes are wound - make sure they are wound properly.

NOTE! - CHILDREN CAN BE INJURED IF A SAFETY DEVICE IS NOT INSTALLED. ALWAYS USE A SAFETY DEVICE TO KEEP ROPES AND CHAINS OUT OF THE REACH OF CHILDREN.

Attaching the Safety Cleat

There is a safety cassette on the ropes so that it breaks when a strong horizontal pull occurs on the ropes to reduce the risk of getting stuck. Use suitable screws to attach the safety cleat securely to the wall.

Wrapping the Cords

Wrap the cords around the cord cleats in a figure of 8.

When the cords are fully accumulated ensure they are secure so when any cord is pulled no excess cord is released.

Operation

To lower blind: Move the cord to the center of the pleated curtain and slowly pull down until the string catch releases.

To raise blind: Pull the cord until the pleated curtain has reached the desired height.

To lock cords: Pull the cord to the outside of the pleated curtain (upwards), the curtain should now close automatically.

Breakaway Safety Tassel

Breakaway safety tassel is pre-fitted to the lift cords so that when a horizontal force is applied to the cords entering the tassel it safely breaks away eliminating any hazardous loops.

If the breakaway safety tassel is pulled apart untangle and untwist cords. For 2 cords: Press the breakaway safety tassel together until it is fully closed. For 3 cords: Place the loose cord in the opening in one half of the breakaway safety tassel and press the breakaway safety tassel together until it is fully closed.

If there are any doubts that the breakaway safety tassel has not been re-attached correctly it can tested by placing your arm between the cords and pressing downwards. The breakaway safety tassel should break apart with minimal force.

Recess Fitting

Outside Recess

If you are mounting the pleated blind outside the window recess, ensure that dimension C is the same on both sides. Follow the instructions for wall mounting. To calculate C, use the formula: (A-B)/2.

Inside Recess

For ceiling mounting, attach the blind to the lining. For wall mounting, attach it to the window frame.

Roof Assembly

Measure and mark the distance between the wall and the back of the bracket, taking into account obstacles such as protruding handles. The mounting brackets should be placed evenly over that pleated curtain. Hold each fastener in its intended location and mark the hole locations. Make sure the screws you use are suitable for the wall/surface you are mounting on.

Wall Mount

Assemble the roof bracket with the other bracket. Use the nuts and bolts provided to assemble them. Use the image above to understand how to put them together.
