G. Check the interior reveal. Make sure the measurement from the interior

face of the window to the interior face of the wall is equal at several

points around the window.
Note: If the dimensions are not equal, check to make sure the fins are

folded out to 90° at all points.

H. Check window operation (vent units only). Unlock the window by

lifting the lock handle up. Open the window by rotating the crank

handle. Remove the shipping spacers. Open and close the window a few

times to check for proper operation. Close and lock the window.
Note: If there are any problems with the operation of the window,

recheck shim locations and adjust for plumb and square.

I. Fasten the window to opening by driving 2" galvanized roofing

nails into each pre-punched hole in the nailing fin.
Note: Make sure the fin corner is lying as flat as possible.

J. For units with flexible non-structural curved fin on which clips were

added:

Fasten the clips to the opening by driving two #6 x 1-1/2" or longer

corrosion resistant into the pre-punched holes in the clips. If clips are bent

and fastened to the interior stud, install the screws as close to the bend as

possible.
Note: DO NOT shim above the window.
