How to Install Motorized Premium Plain Fold Roman Shades

Install the shade before you try to operate the motor.

1. 1

   Check that your installation kit contains all the parts listed.

2. 2

   Use a 5/64" drill bit to pre-drill screw holes into a wall stud or header board.

3. 3

   For wallboard or plaster, use anchors designed for hollow walls (not included). For concrete, stone or brick, use a masonry drill bit and masonry anchors or screws (not included).

• Up to 36" wide: 2 brackets, 2 screws (1 1/4") and 2 screws (3/4")
• 36" to 48" wide: 3 brackets, 3 screws (1 1/4") and 3 screws (3/4")
• 48" to 96" wide: 4 brackets, 4 screws (1 1/4") and 4 screws (3/4")
• 96" to 120" wide: 5 brackets, 5 screws (1 1/4") and 5 screws (3/4")

1. 1

   Plan for one bracket about 2" to 6" from each end of the headrail. On wider shades that need 3 or more brackets, space the extras evenly between the two outer brackets.

2. 2

   Hold the shade in place and mark the bracket locations with a pencil. Use a spirit level to make sure the brackets will be level.

3. 3

   The brackets attach to the bottom of the headrail, so mount them to the wall or window frame first: pre-drill with a 5/64" bit and screw them in place.

4. 4

   Set the headrail on the brackets, center the shade over the window opening and mark each bracket's mounting hole on the headrail.

5. 5

   Pierce the fabric at each mark with the tip of a screw, then pre-drill the holes with a 5/64" bit.

6. 6

   Fasten the shade to the brackets with the 3/4" screws provided.

No brackets are used; the headrail has pre-drilled mounting holes.

1. 1

   Drive the 1 1/4" screws into the headrail holes until the tips poke out just slightly above the top of the headrail.

2. 2

   Line up the front of the shade with the front edge of the window opening (or where you prefer), centered in the opening.

3. 3

   Push up on the screws so their tips leave small marks in the top of the window frame.

4. 4

   Lower the shade and pre-drill at the marks with a 5/64" bit.

5. 5

   Lift the shade back into place and screw it to the frame.

1. 1

   Follow the separate programming and operating instructions that came with your shade to pair and operate the motor and remote.
