(for casement windows)

l 21%e inches minimum height

(with window panel retainer)

l 20% inches minimum height

(window panel retainer removed)

l 40 inches maximum height

NOTE: The height measurement must be of

an unobstructed opening above the mounting platform. In some cases, due to a variety of stop and track arrangements, the above

Installing in a sliding window

1. Attach support brece to platform as shown. Use the adjustment bolt and hex flange nut to complete the assembly. Choose the slot and adjustment bott hole locations that will create a 45’ 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 (?&inch lower on outside). Without the proper slope, water could drip into your home and cause water damage.

NOTE: lf you are planning to use a sidingprotection board (see Step 5) on the outside of your house, hold the board in place when testing the assembly in the window.
