A. Remove plastic wrap and cardboard packaging from window. DO NOT cut the checkrail
bands or remove plastic shipping spacers located between the window sash and frame. The

window until it is fully fastened.
Note: If screens, grilles or hardware are removed from
the window at this time, label them and store them in a
protected area.

placement of installation clips.
A. Insert the window from the exterior of the building. Place the
bottom of the window on the spacers at the bottom of the opening,
then tilt the top into position. Center the window between the
sides of the opening to allow clearance for shimming, and insert
one roofing nail in the first hole from the corner on each end of the
top nailing fin. These are used to hold the window in place while
shimming it plumb and square.
