Installation Instructions – 40mm Pole & Track (Design House)
To install this product, you will need the following tools:
- Tape measure
- Marking pencil
- Ladder
- Drill
- Star point screwdriver
- 5.5Â mm masonry drill bit
1) Components
The 40 mm Pole & Track consists of the following components (Refer Figure 1): The Rear Track (2) and the Front Track (3) clip into the Wall Bracket (1). The Pole (5) is attached to the Front Track by means of the C Clip (4).
2) Removing the Track
To install the rod, first remove the track from the pole. Lever the pole off the track with a screwdriver placed next to the C Clip. (Refer Figure 2)
3) Determining the Height
Determine the desired height to install the track. The height (A) depends on the length of the curtain, plus 3–5 cm clearance to the floor. (Refer Figure 3)
4) Marking & Leveling
- From the middle of the window, measure the chosen height from the floor and mark it on the wall.
- Repeat 30 cm left and 30 cm right to create three marks.
- Join these marks with a straight line—this is where the track must be installed.
- With an assistant, place the track on this line and mark the holes to be drilled. (Refer Figure 4)
5) Drilling & Mounting
Using a drill and a 5.5 mm masonry drill bit, drill the holes into the wall at the marked positions. Insert the wall plugs provided and then secure the track to the wall by turning the screw through the bracket into the wall plug.
IMPORTANT:Â Once the track is installed, gently pull down on it to make sure it is secure.
6) Attaching the Pole
- Clip the pole back onto the front track.
- Fit the top of the clip over the track (Refer Figure 5).
- Push down so the bottom of the clip engages with the track (Refer Figure 6).
IMPORTANT:Â Pull gently on the pole to ensure that it is securely fitted to the track.
