Before You Start

• Make sure the shade is fully raised.
• Disconnect power or unplug the motor if needed.
• Grab a Phillips screwdriver—maybe a flathead too for prying.

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Remove the front fascia:
   • Loosen the 3/32" Allen screws in each end cap, they are REVERSE THREADED
   • Twist the fascia forward and up with one hand on the end cap, and the other on the fascia to detach it from the cassette.
   • Set it aside in a safe place.
2. Disconnect the motor wire:
   • Find the motor cable inside the cassette and unplug it from the connector.
3. Loosen the screws on the motor bracket:
   • Use a Phillips screwdriver to loosen the bracket screws on the motor (drive) side.
   • No need to remove them—just loosen enough to free the motor.
4. Remove the motor from the tube:
   • Gently pull the motor out of the roller tube.
   • You may need to rotate slightly to clear the tube’s alignment grooves.
5. Transfer the collar (if needed):
   • If your motor uses a collar or adapter, move it to the new motor.
   • Make sure it’s aligned properly with the grooves in the roller tube.
6. Install the new motor:
   • Insert the new motor into the roller tube.
   • Rotate slightly to align the grooves and push until fully seated.
7. Reinsert the motor end into the bracket:
   • Slide the motor end back into the motor bracket.
     
   • Tighten the screws to secure the bracket.
8. Reconnect the motor wire:
   • Plug the motor cable back into the connector inside the cassette.
9. Test the motor:
   • Power it up and test with a remote or controller to make sure it jogs up/down.
10. Reinstall the fascia:
    • Snap the front fascia back into place by pressing it dwon and inward.
