A.  Begin running rope @ opposite side of operation. Tie knot in tag end (loose end) of rope. Thread 10 x 1 screw thru knot and anchor to bottom flange of awning rail or solid surface just below rail. Screw should be located straight below porcelain rings.

B.  Allow enough rope to go down the length of the curtain and back up to the ring.  Continue running rope thru remaining rings till you reach the cleat area.

C.  Pull slack from rope. Cut rope off approx 12" below cleat. With lighter slightly melt tag end of rope to prevent fraying. Repeat for next ring. (See Diagram)

Texas Eclipse Roller Shade

1. For shades to operate properly, brackets must be level. Check to see if the surface on which the shades will be mounted is level; if not, shim the brackets to make them as level as possible. This step is crucial to the final product. (On non-level surfaces the shade fabric will tend to telescope on the tube.  If you are experiencing this, shim the tube with a little tape on the side appearing lower.

2. The RS-10 brackets have locking inserts to easily mount your shade. Take the brackets (D,C) and install them with screws to a solid surface.

3. Unclip the inserts in the brackets. 

4. Set the tube into the inserts and clip back into brackets.

5. Completely tighten the screws and make sure your shade is secure. Check to see if shade is level.

6. Run shade to check that fabric is level and no further adjustments are needed.
