Installing Unit in a Casement Window
NOTE: Open the window the maximum amount to
allow for clearance of the cabinet. The crank handle
should be removed to allow the platform to be
fastened to the jamb. If the window cannot open far
enough (more than 15 1/2 inches) for the cabinet to
clear the window, remove the window entirely by
drilling out the rivets. Bolts can serve as the rivots
in the future.
To avoid crank handle and window clearance
problems, the unit can be installed in a stationary
sash section. However, the horizontal mullion and
the 2 glass panels must be removed before installation.
1. Attach support brace to platform. (Fig. 1)
Use the adjustment bolt and hex flange nut to
complete the assembly. Choose the slot and
adjustment bolt hole locations that will create a
45 degree angle between the platform and the
support brace. Try the assembly in the window
to determine if the platform will rest properly,
and allow the proper slope (5/16 inch lower on
outside).
NOTE: If you are planning to use a siding-protection
board (See Step 6) on the outside of your house,
hold the board in place when testing the assembly
in the window.
2. Drill a 9/64 inch diameter pilot hole.
Drill the hole in the window jamb an equal distance
from each side of the jamb (Fig. 2), and 3/16 inch up from
the window sill. If the hole coincides with the window
lever slot in the jamb bottom, an additional hole will
have to be drilled through the platform edge and the
window jamb to miss this slot.
3. Peel off the protective backing. (Fig. 3)
Peel off the backing from the track seal, and stick
the seal to the window sill on the outside of the
bottom jamb.
4. Screw the platform assembly to the window
jamb. (Fig. 4)
Screw the platform assembly using the pilot hole
drilled in Step 2. Use a 3/4 inch self-threading screw.
