5. Installing the chain tensioner.
Shades with clutch controls come with a continuous chain
loop, which should always be screwed to the wall with the
included chain tensioner.
The chain tensioner should be installed to a flat surface, so
the bead chain is taut but not stretched. Be sure not to twist
or cross the chain.
On inside mount shades, the tensioner may be attached to
the windowsill or to the inside of the window frame. For
outside mount or wall mount shades, the bracket may be
mounted to the exterior of the window frame or the wall.
With a pencil, mark the desired location of the screw holes
for the tensioner and then drill pilot holes. Then install the
tensioner with the screws, making sure that the tensioner is
fully installed, so that the spring is pushed in and the chain
passes smoothly through the guide.
The chain tensioner forms an important safety function
by keeping chain loops away from small children. Never
operate this shade without a functioning and correctly
installed chain tensioner.
