Operation
13.To open gate, pull top locking latch back- wards with your thumb and lift gate up and out of hinge. (Fig. 15).
14.When closing gate, be sure that both upper and lower locking side parts are resting securely in brackets and the upper latch is locked.
Window Barrier Installation
Gate must be installed in one of two ways: either inside window casing (Fig. 16) or directly onto face of window casing (Fig. 17).
Follow ’gate’ installation instructions through #6. After cutting out templates (a) and (b), hold tem- plate (a) vertically and completely outstreched against mounting surface with the end marked
"" even with bottom of window or resting on
window sill. Do this for both templates and con- tinue following ’gate’ installation instructions until #12.
If mounting directly to face of window casing, stop pin (t) will not be needed. If mounting inside window casing, continue following ’gate’ instruc- tions exactly from #12 through completion.
IMPORTANT
If gate is outside mounted to a wall or window (instead of a doorframe), it is very important that the wall hardware is flush with the edge.
When the gate is in place make sure that: (Fig. 18)
a)The distance between the wall/door frame and the 1st bar is between 1” – 2 3/8” on both sides.
b)The distance between the floor and the lowest part of the gate frame is between 3/4” – 2 1/2”.
c)The spring is placed on top of hinge part on gate. It must not be underneath.
d)The stop pin is placed so that the gate can not open out over the stairs - if any.
e)The catch on the handle can move freely (back and forth) and that it fits properly into the slot on the upper locking bracket.
f)All screws are tightened.
NOTE. GATE SHOULD ALWAYS BE IN THE LOCKED POSITION. IF GATE IS OPEN AND EXCESSIVE PRESSURE IS APPLIED, (SUCH AS STANDING OR SWINGING ON THE GATE) STRUCTURAL DAMAGE MAY OCCUR.
15. Temporary Removal
The gate may be removed by pressing back on the locking tab on top of upper hinge while sli- ding the hinge cap up. Remove spring and lift gate off top and bottom hinges. FOR SAFETY
REASONS, RETURN SPRING AND HINGE CAP ONTO HINGE POST, MAKE SURE CAP IS LOCKED IN PLACE.
