Fig. 3 GWS-BRACKET-S KIT - Used with rectangle and

Tools Needed: Phillips screwdriver, soft leather gloves for
handling glass, dry at smooth surface large enough to
accommodate the windshield for assembly.
CAUTION: It is recommended for two people to assemble
the glass windshield. Lay the glass panels on a soft non-
abrasive at surface to keep windshield level.
Note: Each GWS kit is designed for a specic type of
windshield. Ensure you read and understand how each kit
assembles and installs.
PREPARATION: Each kit requires partial assembly before
installing with the glass panels. You must press the
silicone plugs into the back of the at screws, then thread
the screws partially into the brackets and install the screws
and feet into the bottom brackets to ready them to secure
the glass panels. See Figs. 4 and 5.
WARNING:
Carefully secure the screws into position but do not
over-tighten. Warranty does not cover glass
breakage during the assembly process.
Each bracket uses a silicone plug on the opposite side of
the set-screw to secure the glass in place and to prevent
glass breakage. Loosen the set screws in all brackets to
allow glass to slip inside each bracket.
In most cases, assembly of the windshield will require more
than one person to assist. This is because the windshield
should be assembled upside down then inverted right side
up for installation around the re pit.
BEFORE YOU BEGIN
CAUTION: THESE WINDSHIELDS ARE NOT
DESIGNED FOR WOOD BURNING FIRE PITS.
POTENTIAL GLASS BREAKAGE AND DAMAGE WILL
OCCUR IF USED WITH A WOOD FIRE.

supports with the Phillips screwdriver.
STEP 2: Connect the two long glass panels at the bottom
using another straight bracket in the same manner. Install
two bottom U-brackets approximately 1-inch away from the
straight bracket. See Fig. 7.
Top
STEP 1: Begin by securing two long glass panels inside a
straight bracket. Screw heads should be on the inside of
the assembly. Each glass panel should slide all the way
into the bracket and top edge should be ush with edge of
glass. See Fig. 6.

bracket.
NOTE: This section covers both square and
rectangular windshields. Review the assembly for
a rectangular windshield then go directly to STEP 3,
Fig. 8. to assemble a square windshield. Use Fig. 8 for
reference.
STEP 3: Connect end (short) glass panels using the corner
brackets. Ensure the corner connector (with foot) is
located at the bottom and the other corner connector
(without foot) is connected at the top. See Fig. 8.

STEP 4: Using one pair of connectors at a time, connect a
single glass panel at either end using corner connectors to
complete the assembly of the rectangle windshield. See
Fig. 8. The short panels are the ends and the long panels
are the sides. Ensure the bottom connectors (with foot) are
located on the bottom.
Note: All bottom brackets are provided with a soft pad to
prevent any scratching of the re pit table top surface.
