Always pick them up by both side jambs using <br />. both hands. Never pick up and handle windows by the header only, sill only, or <br />by one side jamb only. This can damage the windows and possibly rupture the <br />glazing seal and/or joint caulking, thus resulting in a possible leak. <br /> <br />D. Carefully insert the window into the opening. Center the window in the rough <br />opening with the sill of the window resting on the gill of the rough opening. <br /> <br />E. Drive the first fastener at approximately the center of the vertical frame jamb. Drive the second <br />fastener on the opposite jamb at the approximate center. Drive the third fastener at the center <br />of the sill member. (Note: When installing windows cheek the window sill for straightness. <br />If the window siD u crowned, apply light pressure at the center of window sill until it is <br />level. While holding the sill level, drive the third fastener into the center of the siD.) Drive <br />the fourth fastener at the center of the head. Run fasteners, from one of the above fasten~> to <br />the end of each frame member. Repeat this step until all fasteners have been inserted from the <br />center of the vertical frame jamb outward to both ends of each member. Finish installing the <br />fasteners from the center of the Frame Head and Sill outward to the end~ of each member. See <br />attached drawing for visual guide to fastener pJacement of assorted window types. <br />AU fastenen should be driven straight into the wiDdow frame. <br /> <br />This sequence of fastener installation applies to both vertical and horizontal sliding <br />windows, flush mount and recessed fin mount, for both metal and vinyl windows. <br />A drawing is attaehed for visual referance. <br /> <br />D <br /> <br />After the initial fasteners are placed, it is important that the installer does not run <br />the remainder of the fasteners in a continuous clockwise (or counter clockwise) <br />fashion around the window. <br /> <br />F. Avoid damage to the seal between the gla~s and the window gl87.ing member. <br />Power drivers should be adjusted so as not to cause excessive dimpling of the, ' <br />window flanges. Careless mounting procedures could negate window certification. <br /> <br />G. ~f the exposed surfaces of the rough inside opening arc to be trimmed out with <br />pre.-finished paneJing, it must be done in such a manner so as not to distort or <br />twist the window frame memher~ and make the operating sash tight or inoperable. If <br />interior trim is installed prior to window instalJation insure that enough room is left to <br />allow the window to fully seat against the exterior wall surface. Do not obstruct locking <br />mechanisms with inside trim, wood molding, etc.. <br /> <br />H. Windows should be checked after installation to make sure that all moving panels, <br />mechanisms, latches, and other hardware function properly. Any shipping clips <br />must be removed prior to operation of the window. <br /> <br />I. The window's exterior mounting flanges should be checked after the installation <br />to assure an all-weather seal. It is recommended to seal the outside lOp of window <br />~ (full width) with a good quality sealant for additional insurance. <br /> <br />Page 2 of 5 <br />
