Preparation: Have ample space for this available on a lat clean surface such as a large table or loor. The work area should be larger
than the frame size. If the loor is used, clean papers should be spread to keep all dirt from the Pro-Trim surfaces.
Tools Required for Assembly: 1/8" Allen Wrench, 5/64" Allen Wrench, Carpenter's Level, Tape Measure, Electric Screw Gun, Utility Knife.
Unpackaging the Frame:
1. The frame will arrive in two separate cardboard boxes. One box
will be very long and will house the top and bottom pieces. The
smaller cardboard box will house the side frame pieces, hanger
hardware, assembly hardware and the wall switch.
2. To open the boxes, there is a side lap that is taped down the
length of the box. It will be labeled "Open This Side". Refer to
picture A. Carefully cut tape down the length of the box with a
utility knife and fold box open. You will have to pull hard as it is
stapled on the ends.
3. Inside each box the frame pieces will be individually paper
wrapped and taped. Remove all paper from pieces. Do not use
a utility knife to remove paper from pieces.
4. Remove all paper and styrofoam blocks from top frame
assembly after unwrapping.
