1. Assemble Rod Sections: Connect the rod sections (L and R) as shown in the diagram. Ensure the corner piece is correctly oriented. Insert the end caps.
2. Mark Drilling Points: Hold the assembled rod in the desired position on the wall. Use a pencil to mark the locations for the wall mounting brackets. Ensure the rod is level.
3. Drill Holes: Using an appropriate drill bit for your wall type, drill holes at the marked locations. The diagram indicates 12 screws are included, implying 6 screws per bracket (3 per side).
4. Insert Wall Anchors: Gently tap the wall anchors into the drilled holes until they are flush with the wall surface.
5. Attach Wall Mounts: Position the wall mounting brackets over the anchors and secure them firmly with the provided screws. Ensure the brackets are oriented correctly (L and R).
6. Mount the Rod: Carefully place the assembled shower curtain rod onto the installed wall mounting brackets. Ensure it clicks securely into place.
7. Add Curtain Runners: Before mounting the rod, or if the rod allows, slide the curtain runners into the track.

For optimal stability, especially in larger installations or with heavier curtains, consider installing the optional ceiling support (sold separately).

Usage

Once the shower curtain rod is securely installed, you can hang your shower curtain. Ensure the curtain hooks or rings are compatible with the rod's runners. Distribute the weight of the curtain evenly along the rod.

Maintenance

• Cleaning: Clean the shower curtain rod regularly with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the finish.
• Inspection: Periodically check all mounting points and screws to ensure they remain tight and secure. Tighten any loose screws as needed.
• Runners: If the curtain runners become stiff, clean them and the rod track. A small amount of silicone spray can improve gliding, but avoid oil-based lubricants.

Troubleshooting

• Rod feels loose: Check if the mounting screws are tight. Ensure the wall anchors are properly seated. If the wall material is weak, consider using larger anchors or the optional ceiling support.
• Curtain not gliding smoothly: Clean the rod track and curtain runners. Ensure no debris is obstructing the path. Check if the curtain is too heavy or if the runners are damaged.
• Difficulty assembling rod sections: Ensure the sections are aligned correctly and pushed firmly together. Do not force them if they don't fit; check for any obstructions or damage.
