Important! The Pella Precision Fit Casement Replacement Window is designed to replace older style
double-hung windows. The original window frame will remain in place and only the existing sash
will be removed. The Pella Precision Fit Casement Fixed Window is a companion to the Precision Fit
Casement and is designed to replace the fixed center window that shares a common stool and sloped
sill with the adjacent windows and has removable interior stops. This application is typically found
in older homes. The original window frame will remain in place and only the existing sash, glass and
existing stops must be removed. These instructions are not to be used with any other construction
methods. Read these instructions thoroughly before beginning. Failure to install as recommended will
void any warranty, express or implied. For types of installation other than shown, contact your local
Pella representative or visit http://www.pella.com. Building designs, construction methods, building
materials and site conditions unique to your project may require an installation method different
from these instructions and additional care. Determining the appropriate installation method is the
responsibility of you, your architect or construction professional.
CAUTION: Many windows in older homes are painted with lead-based paint. Removal of old
windows may disturb this paint. Proper precautions must be taken to minimize exposure to dust
and debris. Consult state or local authorities for more information.
