Sliding Panel Track - Vista Products Panel Track Installation

Inside or Ceiling Mount Installation

Determine valance bracket location - (Skip this section if no valance was ordered):
1. Locate the valance for the track being installed.
2. Hold the valance up to the window and place a pencil mark lightly on the wall at the center of each Velcro strip located on the back of valance.
3. Place the valance bracket into the opening and center it with the mark. The face of the valance bracket would be flush with the window opening.
4. With the valance bracket in place, mount securely with the screws provided.

Determine cam-lock bracket location:
Listed below are the window depths needed to accommodate different panel configurations. Check your order before mounting and choose the one for your track. Flush mounts are even with your window opening. Minimum depth is the least amount of depth needed to mount the track. When minimum depth is used the panel track may project into the room. These projections are listed next to the minimum depth requirement. The cam-lock bracket must be installed no less than 3/4" into the opening to ensure a proper and secure mount. The mounting screw locations are listed below the depth clearance chart.

Minimum Depth Required For Track Placement

2 panel	minimum - 1 1/2"	flush mount - 1 1/2"
3 panel	minimum - 2 1/4"	flush mount - 2 1/4"
4 panel	minimum - 2 1/4"	flush mount - 2 7/8"
5 panel	minimum - 2 3/4"	flush mount - 3 5/8"

Installation Screw Location

2 panel	flush mount - 3/4"
3 panel	flush mount - 7/8"	minimum - 3/4"
4 panel	flush mount - 1 1/2"	minimum - 3/4"
5 panel	flush mount - 1 5/8"	minimum - 3/4"

CAUTION - Cam-lock brackets should not be more than 4" from either side. Begin by mounting the left and right brackets and center any remaining brackets between them. Valance brackets may need to be adjusted for minimum depth applications.

Installing the Headrail:
1. Lift the track into position below the cam-lock brackets.
2. Insert the cam-lock brackets in the top of the track. (Cam-lock bracket art may need to be turned to allow proper fit.)
3. Lock the arm when the track is in place, by rotating (pushing) it into position. Final position places the arm flush with FRONT of the track.
4. Repeat for all cam-lock brackets.

Outside or Wall Mount Installation

Determine OB Mounting Bracket Location - (Skip steps 1-4 if no valance was ordered):
1. Locate the valance for the track being installed.
2. Center the valance on the window opening and mark (with pencil), on the wall, the center of each Velcro strip on the back of the valance.
3. Locate the mounting bracket (cam-lock bracket & valance bracket will be assembled as one unit from the factory) and the 1 1/4" mounting screws.
4. Center the mounting brackets with the marks made on the wall and secure with provided screws.
5. Secure the mounting brackets with the 1 1/4" screws provided. Begin by mounting the far left and far right OB cam-lock brackets. The brackets should be no more than 4" from each end.

Installing The Headrail:
1. Lift the track into position below the cam-lock brackets.
2. Insert the cam-lock brackets into the top of the track. (Cam-lock brackets arm may need to be turned to allow proper fit.)
3. Lock the arm when the track is in place by rotating (pushing) it into position. Final position places the arm flush with FRONT of the track.
4. Repeat for all cam-lock brackets.

Panel Installation

1. You must reveal or expose each carrier (one at a time) for ease of installation. Begin with the carrier in the back. To expose the carrier, pull forward (into the room) on the front carrier and push back (toward the window) on the adjacent carrier fully exposing the Velcro strip.
2. Locate the fabric panels.
3. Begin panel installation on the carrier you have just exposed. (Begin with the back carrier for an easier installation.)
4. Align the Velcro strip on the panel back with the strip on the carrier.
5. Slide the next carrier in front and begin again at step 1 of this section.
6. Once all panels have been securely attached, return panels to their original position using method from step 1.

Installing The Cord Tension Pulley:
The tension pulley should be mounted toward the back of the window so that it does not impede or interfere with track operation.
1. Attach the tension pulley to the sidewall using screws provided.
2. Use caution not to install the pulley too high (too slack) or too low (too tight). Adjust the pulley and cord so there is approximately 1" between secured base and the adjusting pulley head.

Installing The Optional Crown Valance:
The valance and brackets are attached with Velcro, which is applied at the factory.
1. Both the valance brackets and the Crown Valance have Velcro attached at the factory.
2. Align the Velcro strips on both the valance and brackets, and then firmly push the two together, being careful to support the weight of longer valances.
