Installing
Unit in a Sliding Window:
D
Attach support brace to platform as shown (FIG.6). Use adjustment
bolt and hex flange nut to complete assembly. Choose slot and adjustment
bolt hole locations that will create a 45 degree angle between platform and
support brace. Try assembly in the window to determine if platform will rest
properly, and allow proper slope (3/16" lower on out side).
• If you are planning to use a siding-protection
board (see Step 8) on the
outside of your house, hold board in place when testing assembly in window.

E_ Measure, and lightly mark a line 8-11/16" from window jamb:
If any sash stop protrudes more than 1 from the s_de window jambs, the
8-11/16" measurement must be increased accordingly (FIG.7). Screen and
storm window frames may also require adjustments to the measurement.

For vinyl-clad
windows, you need to install the support bracket on the
window track before you install the platform. Follow the instructions below to

bracket. Make sure the support bracket is level form side to side.
Proceed to Step 9 after you finish fixing the support bracket.
