C.Place a bead of sealant where the jamb and sill meet.

D.Insert the window into the opening. Set the bottom of the window in first and tilt the top into place. Make sure the window is centered in the opening and is pressed firmly against the exterior blind stops.

E.Place a shim at each of the top corners in line with the pre- punched holes, and partially insert 2-1/2" screws (provided).

This will hold the window in place while shimming it plumb and square. Trim shims back so they recessed back 1/4” - 1/2” from the interior face of the window frame.
