J. For vinyl windows,leave an appropriate gap between the edge of the siding nnaterial and the <br /> , window frame to allow for siding expansion and contraction. <br /> K. For vinyl horizontal sliding&fixed windows 72"in width and greater,Kinro recommends a sill <br /> support(minimum 1"thick) or angle bracket support,dependant on exterior home finish,to be <br /> installed underneath the projected frame sill on the outside. <br /> L. The use of any appurtenance system not approved for the Egress window or any alterations of an <br /> approved appurtenance system negates the window certification. The operating instructions and <br /> certification label are a permanent part of the Egress unit and must not be reznoved. <br /> M. There should not be any obstruction placed,attached,or located inside or outside an Egress <br /> window which would hamper direct access to Egress Devices or encroach on the minimum <br /> dimensions for horizontal,vertical,and square feet of area required for exiting. <br /> Caution: Flammable fabrics could prevent access to the exit devices. <br /> N. An operational check of each installed Egress Window or Device shall be made at the installation <br /> site. For HUD manufactured homes it is recommended that the Manufactured Home Factory <br /> record and retain a permanent record of the serial number of the Egress unit in direct correlation <br /> with the serial number of the Manufactured Home in which it is installed. This will facilitate <br /> correction,recall and notification for non-compliance defects and/or imminent safety hazards. <br /> 0. Do not install vinyl windows on top of vertical or horizontal metal siding. Flanges may be <br /> damaged and leaks may occur. Warranty is void. <br /> III. Fasteners <br /> A. #8 screws,must be used as fasteners for your installation into wood framing and for window <br /> installation into metal home framing. The fastener must penetrate the stud at least one (1")inch, <br /> allowing for exterior sheathing. The pre-punched mounting holes in our window 8anges are to <br /> assist our customers installing the screw fasteners. <br /> Note: Screws that are left exposed to the weather should be of a plated type t:hat will not corrode. <br /> B. In Wind S�eed Z.ones 90 mph and less(NtiD-Wind Zone Ij: on uneven corrugated siding,a <br /> fastener should be placed in or near every hole to ensure a proper weather seal around the <br /> perimeter of the window. On smooth wood finish siding,a fastener in or near every other hole <br /> for aluminum windows and every hole for vinyl windows is recommended. When installing a <br /> window in this fashion,the installed window should be checked to ensure that there are no <br /> excessive dents or rises in the fin that would allow a water or air leak. Exterior type trim could <br /> then be placed over the window. When using screws,they do not have to be in the hole,just in the <br /> general location. <br /> C. In Wind S�eed 2ones 100 m�gr a r(HLID-Wind Zones II&IIII: ane fastener should <br /> be placed in or near every mounting hole to meet structural strength.Except for the required <br /> number of fasteners,follow all instrucrions listed above.Mounting location is as follows:end holes <br /> will start no more than 1"from the end of the frame and will be spaced apart no more than 4- <br /> 1/2"evenly spaced between the end holes.The fastener location from the mounting flange edge <br /> will be no greater than 0.135 for all products. <br /> Page 3 of 4 <br />
