GETTING STARTED

Thank you for purchasing Hunter Douglas Skyline®Gliding Window Panels. With proper

installation, operation, and care, your new unit will provide years of beauty and performance.

Please thoroughly review this instruction booklet and enclosed packing list before beginning the

installation.

Mounting Types and Window Terminology

If the installation brackets are mounted correctly, the rest of the installation process ﬂows easily.

To prepare for this important ﬁrst step, review the mounting types and basic window terminology

illustrated below.

Unpack the Box

■Carefully remove the rolled up fabric panels and set aside. Locate the panels marked

“FRONT — INSTALL LAST” and “REAR — INSTALL FIRST.” Set them aside, separated

from the other panels. Do not unroll the panels until installation. Carefully remove the

headrail and optional valance from the packaging. Keep all packaging until the unit

operates to your satisfaction.

■Save these instructions for care and cleaning, panel removal, unit removal, and

reinstallation procedures.

■Check the Product Views on pages 6 and 7 to make sure you have all of the necessary

parts. Contents of the hardware package may vary depending upon how the unit was

ordered and how it will be mounted.

Outside Mount

Shade is mounted outside

window opening.

Inside Mount

Shade ﬁts within

window opening.

Collectively, the sill and

jambs are called the

“window casement.”

Installation Components Required

■Installation Brackets. This style of installation bracket

is used for outside mounts. The number of installation

brackets required varies based on headrail width, as

shown in the table above.

■Mounting Clips. This style of mounting clip is used for inside

mounts. The number of mounting clips required varies based

on headrail width, as shown in the tableabove.

■Splice Clip. A splice clip allows a long headrail to be split

in half during shipping, and reconnected during installation.

Once installed, a spliced headrail functions seamlessly as if it

were onepiece.

■Valance Splice Clip. A splice clip allows a long valance to be

split in half during shipping, and reconnected during installation.

Once installed, a spliced valance functions seamlessly as if it were

onepiece.

■Fabric-Wrapped Large Cassette Installation Bracket.

This style of installation bracket is used for Skyline®units ordered

with the fabric-wrapped large cassette. The brackets are used in

both inside and outside mount applications. The number of

installation brackets required varies based on headrail width, as

shown in the tablebelow.

■Fabric-Wrapped Large Cassette Splice Clip. This component is only

provided with Skyline units ordered speciﬁcally with a spliced headrail.

This clip joins two pieces of the cassette together. Once installed, a

spliced cassette functions seamlessly as if it were onepiece. If you

have not ordered the Skyline unit with a spliced cassette, you will not

receive this component.

■Fabric-Wrapped Large Cassette Splice Cover. This is the decorative

trim cover over the fabric seam in a spliced fabric-wrapped large

cassette. It will also be used when the fabric is seamed. The fabric

seaming is sometimes necessary to obtain the full width of the

cassette. In this case, the splice cover will be installed by the

fabricator. If you have not ordered the Skyline unit with a fabric-

wrapped large cassette, you will not receive this component.

■Universal Cord Tensioner (UCT). The UCT functions as a safety

device that makes the cords less accessible to children and

pets for those units with a cord control. The cord control will

not function properly without the UCT installed correctly.

Inside and Ceiling Mount Applications

For panel order without a valance continue below. If you ordered a valance, see “Inside and

Ceiling Mount Applications WITH A Valance” on page 9.

Inside and Ceiling Mount Applications WITHOUT a Valance

■Mark the mounting clip locations on the ceiling or inside the window casement. Use the

ﬁgure below as a guide for locating the mounting clips.

■Use a 3∕32" drill bit to drill holes for the screws.

CAUTION: Do not mount into drywall, only mount into wood.

■Use a level to check that the mounting surface is level. Shim the brackets if necessary.

Shims are not provided.

■Ensure the mounting clips are all facing

the same direction.

➤Standard Mount — The release

tabs are toward to the window.

➤Flush Mount — The release tabs

are toward the room to allow for a

ﬂush mounting.

IMPORTANT: The mounting tabs

will be visible on a ﬂush mount unless

concealed by a valance.

■Use the hex head screws provided

to fasten the mounting clips to the

mounting surface.

■Verify that the mounting clips are

mounted level and are aligned to

eachother.

Proceed to “Mount the Headrail” on page 23.
