1. Use the charging unit to confirm the new motor battery is fully charged.

2. Take shade out of installation brackets.

Note: If the motor does not slide out of the tube easily, then a set screw is most likely present. 

3. Unwind the shade until you can see the set screw in the tube. [Figure 1]

4. Remove the set screw, and discard it.

Note: The set screw is needed to keep the motor properly positioned during international shipping; no need to re-install it.

5. Slide out the motor. [Figure 2]

Note: Motors come in different colors.

6. Slide the new motor in almost all the way. [Figure 3]

7. Twist the motor to make sure the head is correctly positioned so that the re-charging port, setting button and remote            antenna wire face down when the shade is installed, then push it firmly in place. [Figure 4]

8. Roll the shade back up and re-install it.
