STEP #3 SET GROUPS OF FRAMES
A. Set the assembled groups of frames into the opening.
B. Using dead load shims under each vertical mullion, level the frame and set it to the
appropriate elevation as indicated in the approved shop drawings.
C. Use shims between the anchor plate and the condition to set the frame the proper
distance to the face of the building. After the frames are plumb and the frames have
been properly installed relative to established benchmarks, match drill through the
holes in the anchor plates into the surrounding substrate, and apply the appropriate
anchor bolts. Anchor bolt size, type, quantity, and location vary. Refer to the approved
shop drawings for more information. Anchor bolts should be installed per the
