INSTALLATION—CASEMENT

INSTALLING THE UNIT IN A CASEMENT WINDOW

NOTE: Open the window the maximum amount to allow for clearance of the cabinet. The crank handle

should be removed to allow the platform to be fastened to the jamb. If the window cannot open far enough (more than 15-1/2 inches) for the cabinet to clear the window, remove the window entirely by drilling out the rivets. Bolts can serve as the pivots in the future.

To avoid crank handle and window clearance problems, the unit can be installed in a stationary sash section. However, the horizontal mullion and the 2 glass panels must be removed before installation.

1.Attach support brace to platform as shown. Use the adjustment bolt and hex flange nut to complete the assembly. Choose the slot and adjustment bolt hole locations that will create a 45 degree angle between the platform and the support brace. Try the assembly in the window to determine if the platform will rest properly, and allow the proper slope (3/16- inch lower on outside).

NOTE: If you are planning to use a siding protec- tion board (see Step 6) on the outside of your

house, hold the board in place when testing the assembly in the window.

2.Drill a 9/64-inch diameter pilot hole in the window jamb an equal distance from each side of the jamb, and 3/16-inch up from the window sill. If the hole coincides with the window lever slot in the jamb bottom, an additional hole will have to be drilled through the platform edge and the window jamb to miss this slot.

3.Peel off the protective backing from the track seal, and stick the seal to the window sill on the outside of the bottom jamb.

4.Screw the platform assembly to the window jamb through the pilot hole you drilled in Step 2. Use a #8x3/4-inch self-threading screw.
