INSTALLING 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 15½
inches) for the cabinet to clear the window, remove the
window entirely by drilling out the rivets. Bolts can serve as
the rivets 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.
STEP 1:
ATTACH SUPPORT BRACE TO PLATFORM
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 (
NOTE: If you are planning to use a siding-protection board
(See Step 6) on the outside of your house, hold the board
in place when testing the assembly in the window.
STEP 2:
DRILL A 9/64 IN. DIAMETER PILOT HOLE
Drill the hole in the window jamb an equal distance from
each side of the jamb (Fig. 2), 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.
STEP 3:
PEEL OFF THE PROTECTIVE BACKING
Peel off the backing from the track seal, and stick the seal
to the window sill on the outside of the bottom jamb.

THE WINDOW JAMB
