Energy Saving Side Track System
Installation Instructions |
EcoSmart Shades represent a design breakthrough in
style, efficiency and function. The Double Honeycomb Cellular structure and unique hardware system are designed to provide years of reliable service when properly installed.
Please take a few minutes to read through these instructions before beginning. Complete installation instructions are included with every shade order | 
| |
| BASICS
A few simple tools are required:
- Measuring tape
- Power drill, drill bits
- Hex head and/or Phillips driver bit
- Pencil
Additional fasteners other than those sent with your shade may be required depending on the mounting surface. Wallboard and plaster require the use of anchors such as expansion or toggle bolts. Brick, tile or stone need special plugs
and drill bits. Remember to always pre-drill holes in wood to avoid splitting.

| | | 1. SIDE TRACK INSTALLATION
The minimum required depth for installation is 1 1/2". The minimum depth required for Flush mount
installation is 1 7/8".
Mark the desired location for the side track. On a shallow mount, align the front edge of the Attachment Track to the front of the window frame. For a Flush mount, the front edge of the Attachment Track should be placed 3/8" back from the front of the window frame. The track may be recessed further, but keep in mind that there must be a minimum of 1/4" between the back of the Attachment Track and any obstruction.
Tracks must be mounted, parallel to each other, with centers aligned (a), straight(b), and plumb(c). Make sure that the mounting surface is straight and plumb. Shim the attachment tracks if necessary. Peel the paper liner from the back of the Attachment Track to expose the adhesive.
Attach the Attachment Track to the window
frame. Secure the track in place by installing a screw along the etched center line every 18". |

2. BRACKET INSTALLATION
Shades are shipped with the required number of brackets for proper installation. End brackets should be located with centerlines 2 1/2" in from each end. Depending on the width of the shade, additional brackets may be necessary evenly spaced between the two end brackets.
|
|
| | | For shade
widths of: | Use this number of brackets: | Up to 40" | 2 | 40" - 72" | 3 | 72" - 84" | 4 | 84" and up | 5 |
|
| | | | | | On shades 84" - 96" wide, it is recommended to use a second bracket located next to the end bracket at the cordlock. | | | |  |
| | | | IIMPORTANT:
Standard Brackets must be installed so that the center of the front screw hole is in the line with the
etched enter line on the Attachment Track.
IIMPORTANT:
Continuous Loop Brackets must be installed so that the back of the left front slotted screw hole is in line with the etched center line on the Attachment Track.

| | | 3. SHADE INSTALLATION
Standard and Continuous Cord Loop
Unwind the cord from the shade. Bring the top rail up near the installation brackets. Center the shade in the window opening and attach the headrail to the installation brackets.
Standard Brackets
Insert the front clip of the installation bracket into the front groove of the rail.
 Push the rail back and up until the back clips of the bracket are inserted in the back groove of the rail.
Continuous Cord Loop Brackets
Position the headrail with the front lip  (A) resting on the top hooks of all brackets
Make sure no fabric is pinched between the bracket and headrail.
Push the bottom of the headrail firmly upwards and toward the window until the groove at the bottom of the headrail snaps into place (B) as show.

Side Track Rails
Select the Side Track Rail that will be installed on the control side of the shade. The notch on the Track must be on the top.
Slide the T of the Side Track Rail into the notch on the end of the shade. Snap the Side Track Rail in place. Repeat for the opposite side.
Top Down Bottom Up
Snap the Side Track Rails into the Attachment Tracks. The notches on the Tracks must be on the top.
Unwind the cord from the shade. Release
the cordlock that lowers the bottom rail (Standard is the left cord). Release the opposite cordlock to lower the top.
Insert the front clip of the installation bracket into the front groove of the rail. Push the rail back and up until the back clips of the bracket are inserted in the back groove of the rail. Tip the fabric and rails, so that you can position the groove of the fabric over the side track rail. Level the fabric and rails.  |
| | | 4. OPERATION
Standard Shades
To lower or release shade, pull the
cord inward toward the center of the shade. To raise or lock the shade, pull the cord straight down and outward toward the edge of the shade.
Top-Down Bottom Up
One cord will raise or lower the bottom rail, the other cord will raise or lower the top. Pull the cord inward toward the center of the shade to lower or release shade. Pull the cord straight down and outward toward the edge of the shade to raise or lock the shade.
Continuous Loop Shades
Operate the shade by pulling down on one side of the cord — one side of the cord raises the shade, the other side lowers the shade. Do not lift the bottom rail with your hands. Also, be careful not to place objects on the window sill that will interfere with operating the shade or cause it to hang unevenly.If the shade does become crooked, simply lower it as far as it will go and then raise it again. This will ensure that all the lift lines inside the shade are pulling up evenly.

5. EZEQ - Equalization
Cellular shades use a system that allows easy leveling of the bottom rail.
| 
| 
| Stand in the center of the shade and
grasp the bottom rail with both hands.
Give the bottom rail a slight tug. This
will fully engage the cord-lock.
|
Position the rail as desired, by pulling
down on the side that is too high. |
|
| | | PROTECT YOUR CHILDREN
Be aware that it is possible for children to strangle in window covering cords. To reduce the occurrence
of accident, all cords must be kept out of the reach of children, including infants. Velcro dots are supplied with each shade. Fix one side of the dot to the cord equalizer and the other side of the dot to the window sill. Cord cleats are also an effective way to implement this essential precaution. Mount the cord cleat at a safe height, taking into account furniture or other objects upon which a child may climb. Then, after each use of the shade, simply secure the cord safely
using the velcro attachment. It's fast, easy and safe.

| TROUBLE SHOOTING
Problem: Shade is difficult to operate, especially near the top.
Cause: Brackets and Side Track may not be properly aligned.
Repair: Refer to step 2 Bracket Installation for proper alignment. Adjust
brackets as necessary.
Problem: Shade will not open and close properly.
Cause: Window may not be square. The widest width of the window cannot
exceed the narrowest width of the window by more than 3/8". The shade
must be ordered with the narrowest | CLEANING AND CARE
While beautiful and pleasing to the eye, all EcoSmart products
are designed to be durable, easily cared for and easily cleaned.
Our non-woven fabrics are inherently anti-static and repel dust,
but occasional feather dusting or vacuuming may be necessary to
keep the fabrics clean and bright.
Cleaning
Blackout Fabric: Our blackout fabrics are inherently anti-static
and repel dust, but occasional cleaning may be necessary to keep
the fabrics clean and bright. The fabric can be dusted with a soft,
clean cloth, feather duster or lightly vacuumed with a soft brush
attachment. To spot clean, use a cloth or sponge dipped in a light
solution of lukewarm water and clear dish detergent and lightly
dab. Do not scrub the surface. Rinse thoroughly. Complete
immersion is not recommended.
Cleaning Light Filtering fabrics:
Our light filtering fabrics are inherently antistatic
and repel dust, but occasional cleaning may be necessary to
keep the fabrics clean and bright. The fabric can be dusted with a
soft, clean cloth, feather duster or lightly vacuumed with a soft
brush attachment. Spills and stains can be lightly blotted with a
cloth or damp sponge. More difficult stains may require soaking
in water with mild soap. For this, remove the shades from the
window and soak in warm water. DO NOT submerge the
Cordless head rail in water. When damp, lay flat to dry or
place back in window and raise tightly to recrisp pleats. Please test
any stronger cleaners on an unobtrusive portion of the shade
before using.
NOTE: DO NOT SUBMERGE THE CORDLESS HEAD RAIL or BLACKOUT FABRICS IN WATER!
