header at the center of the opening.

NOTE: Drill a 3/16" pilot hole in the mounting surface to avoid

splitting the lumber. Do not attach the mounting surface with

nails.

Weather Seal (May Not be Included):

Cut the weather seal if necessary to fit the header and jambs.

For quick install track: align the header seal with the inside

edge of the header and temporarily secure it to the header with

equally spaced nails. Next, fit the jamb seals up tight against

the header seal and flush with the inside edge of the jamb.

Temporarily secure the jamb seals with equally spaced nails.

This will keep the bottom section from falling out of the opening

during installation. space nails approximately 12" apart.

For fully adjustable track: align the header seal 1/8" to 1/4"

inside the header and temporarily secure it to the header with

equally spaced nails. Next, fit the jamb seals up tight against the

header seal and 1/8" to 1/4" inside the jamb. Temporarily secure

the jamb seals with equally space nails approximately 12" to 18"

apart. This will keep the bottom section from falling out of the

opening during installation.

NOTE: Do not permanently attach weather seal to the jamb at this

time.
