C. Fold down top flap of water resistive barrier (4C).

D. Apply flashing tape to diagonal cuts. Cut pieces of flashing

barrier. Apply the tape covering the entire diagonal cut in the water
resistive barrier at both upper corners of the door.

Note: Be sure to overlap the top corners (4D).

B. Install the handles and panel retainer. Follow the instructions included in the hardware

box. If the panel is not square to the door frame, adjust the bottom rollers by removing the
adjusting hole cover and inserting an 8" long #2 Phillips screwdriver into the hole. Turn
clockwise to raise the panel and counter-clockwise to lower the panel. Follow the instructions
included in the handle box for final adjustments.

C. Install screen. Instructions for installing the screen are found in the screen door package.

nozzle of the applicator approximately 1" deep into the space
between the door and the rough opening and apply a 1" deep
bead of foam. If using foam other than Great Stuff

Company, allow the foam to cure completely (usually 8 to 24
hours) before proceeding to the next step.

Note: DO NOT completely fill the space from the back of the
fin to the interior face of the opening.

B. Check the door operation by opening and closing the door.

Note: If the door does not operate correctly, check to make sure it is still plumb, level, square
and that the sides are not bowed. If adjustments are required, remove the foam with a
serrated knife. Adjust the shims, and reapply the insulating foam sealant.
