PREPARING AND SETTING THE WINDOW (CONTINUED)
TWO OR MORE PEOPLE WILL BE REQUIRED FOR THE FOLLOWING STEPS
B. Insert the window from the exterior of the building. Place the seat of the window at the
bottom of the opening and slide the top into position. Center the window between the sides
of the opening to allow clearance for shimming.
Note: If cross bracing is required for soffit
installation of the cable systems, proceed to Step 3A
and install cross bracing before unit is inserted into
the rough opening.
C. Place temporary bracing under the seat of the
window to raise the unit level.
D. Place a shim near the top of the one jamb board,
aligned with the top pre-drilled hole in the jamb
board. Drill a pilot hole and partially insert a #10 x 3"
flat head screw provided. Repeat for the other jamb.
E. Continue placing shims at each pre-drilled
installation screw hole in the jamb boards to plumb
and square the window. Check window for squareness
by making sure diagonal measurement for corner to
corner is within 1/8" in both directions. Insert a #10
x 3" flat head wood screw into each pre-drilled hole in
the jamb boards. Finish inserting the top screw in each
jamb board.
F. If desired, shim and fasten headboard to rough opening. To keep plywood straight, center
one finish head screw or 10D finish nail on units less than 10 feet wide and equally space two
fasteners on units wider than 10 feet.
