b'Install the New Window1. Place the window in the opening by placing the inside lower edge onthe outside sill tightly against the stool. Tilt the window into the open-ing taking care to have the outer edge rest securely on the sill angle.(Fig. 12).2. Check for plumb (vertical) and level (horizontal). It is important thatthe window remain square in the opening even if the opening itself isn\'tsquare. Use flat shims to keep the window square. 3. Place the shims behind the mounting screw holes. There are 2 screwholes on each side at the top and bottom. Tighten the screws "fingertight." Use flat shims or non-tapered shims. Tapered shims can contortthe frame which may impede smooth operation of the sash. (Fig. 13)Fig. 12Note: Some windows may have a "butterfly" clip with an adjustmentscrew in the center of each side. This adjuster eliminates the need forshims in the center of the window. Adjust the clips "finger tight". Do notover-tighten. If you over-tighten, the frame will deform and the windowmay not operate correctly. Bar Clamps (Fig. 14) keep the window plumband square while it is fastened avoiding deformities during anchoring.Fig. 14Use FlatShimsFig. 15LevelFig. 16 2"Fig. 13Install Screws Fig. 174.
