Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Remove the Shade from the Brackets #

• Locate the manual levers underneath each bracket.

• Slide the levers to the unlocked position.

• Lift the cassette up and outward to remove.

2. Remove Both End Caps #

• Use a Phillips screwdriver to remove the 3 screws (1 on top, 2 on the back) from both end caps.

• Motor side: Pry gently if the end cap is snug.

• Idler side: Remove carefully — ⚠️ spring on idler pin can fall off.

3. Remove the Motor #

• Slide the motor out of the tube.

• Twist slightly to disengage the shaft.

• Disconnect wiring if applicable.

4. Transfer or Replace the Motor Plate #

• Remove the metal motor plate from the old motor.

• ⚠️ Save the rubber isolators on the tab ends.

• If using a V2 motor (to replace V1 Low Voltage RTS/Zigbee):
  ➡️ Use the provided V2 plate to align the motor head button with the end cap access hole.

5. Install the New Motor #

• Align the notched rubber drive end with the grooves inside the roller

• The medium-sized collar gap goes over the groove.

Push in until firmly seated, then reinstall the motor-side end cap.

• Re-install 3 phillips screws to secure the motor side end cap.

6. Reinstall the Idler-Side End Cap #

• Confirm the spring is on the idler pin.

• Insert the pin into the idler bearing inside the tube.

• Reinstall the idler end cap with screws.

7. Reinstall the Shade #

• Hook the back edge of the cassette onto the brackets.

• Tilt it up and in until it seats fully.

• Manually lock both levers on the brackets.

8. Program and Test the Motor #

• ⚠️ Only test the motor when the shade is mounted.

• Use the remote or controller to:

  • Confirm motor direction

  • Set upper and lower limits (required — new motors ship without presets)

✅ Final Tips

• Always mount the shade before testing.

• Don’t lose small parts:

  • Rubber isolators

  • Idler spring

• Save the old motor for possible diagnostics or warranty.
