1.Ultimate Double Hung IZ3 units have two storm brackets attached to each jamb. If you are using the jamb screw method for installation you will no- tice these when you remove the clad and wood fill- ers. If you are using the masonry bracket method, you must first remove the check rail dust block and pull out the bottom part of the top jamb weather strip as well as remove the bottom sash stay. See figures 11a and 11b.

2.Push the clad jamb filler up as far as it will go to re- veal the predrilled hole in the jamb carrier. Fasten the jambs through the storm bracket by driving one of the #8 x 2 1/2″ screws through the pre--drilled hole in the jamb. See figure 11c.

3.Press the top jamb weatherstrip back into place. Slide the bottom jamb filler down as far as it will go. Fasten the jamb through the storm bracket by driv- ing two of the #8 x 2 1/2″ screws through the pre-- drilled holes in the jamb. See figure 11d.

4.Slide the bottom jamb filler back up until it touches the jamb weatherstrip. Replace the check rail dust block and the bottom sash stay. See figures 11e and 11f.

5. Extend storm brackets during in- clement weather by inserting a stick pin, nail, or pen through the hole in the bracket. Then slide the bracket away from the window frame as shown in figure 12.

WARNING: IZ3 storm protection for CUDH operators requires that storm brackets be put in the extended position.

If the homeowner will be away from home for any period of time in which strong winds are pos- sible, it is recommended that the storm brackets be pulled out to the extended storm ready posi- tion before leaving home.
