Note: The flashing tape must be applied approximately 1/2"
onto the frame cladding at the jambs and head. Pre-folding the
tape at 1/2" before removing the paper backing will make it
easier to apply the tape correctly. If the siding is less than 1/2"
thick, adjust the dimension of the fold so the exterior sealant
line will cover the exterior edge of the tape.
E. Plumb and square window0LACESHIMSFROM
the bottom and top of the window between the
window and the sides of the opening. Adjust
the shims as required to plumb and square the
window in the opening. If the frame height

window sides.
Note: Do not shim above the window or in the
space between the spacers at the bottom of the
window. DO NOT over shim.
F. Check the interior reveal. Make sure the measurement from the interior
face of the window to the interior face of the wall is equal at several
points around the window.
Note: If the dimensions are not equal, check to make sure the fins are
folded out to 90° at all points.

lifting the lock handle up. Open the window by rotating the crank
handle. Remove the shipping spacers. Open and close the window a few
times to check for proper operation. Close and lock the window.
Note: If there are any problems with the operation of the window,
recheck shim locations and adjust for plumb and square.
