installation Instrucfions for Elixir 700 Series Windows <br /> 1. Check that the rough opening is square and 1/2" larger than the window in <br /> width and height. <br /> 2. Apply a continuous 1/4" bead of silicone around the perimeter of the opening <br /> on the exterior sheathing where the window nail fin will contact the wall. <br /> 3. Place temporary shims in both bottom corners and the center of the opening. <br /> 4. Insert the window into the opening and set the unit on the temporary shims. <br /> 5. Place temporary shims on all sides of the window until the unit is square. <br /> � 6. Place one nail or fastener in each corner of the nail fin and check window <br /> operation. Adjust shims if necessary. <br /> 7. When the window operates correctly and all interior site lines look correct, <br /> place a fastener in at least every other hole in the nail fin. Fasteners should have <br /> large heads, like roofing nails, for better performance. <br /> 8. Remove all shims and recheck window site lines and operation. Replace shims <br /> and adjust fasteners if necessary. Do not leave shims in the rough opening. <br /> 9. Due to vinyl's�expansion and contraction properties, the window frame <br /> should not touch the rough opening frame when properly installed. Vinyl <br /> windows should "float" in the opening to promote better operation after <br /> structure settling or leveling. <br /> 10. Cover the nail fin and exterior sheathing with a construction grade flashing <br /> tape. <br />
