• 15-1/2 inches minimum width
•17-1/2 inches maximum width (for casement
windows)
• 21-1/4 inches minimum height (with window
panel retainer)
• 20-5/16 inches minimum height (window
panel retainer removed)
•40 inches maximum height
NOTE: Height measurement must be of a clear
opening above mounting platform. In some cases,
due to a variety of stopandtrackarrangements,
the above dimensions may vary slightly. If
necessary, installation can be made by alternating
window jambs. (See Alternate Window Jamb

Sliding Window Installation
1.Choose the installation site. It is imperative that window
frame assembly and side of structure are adequate to
support weight ofunit. Reinforce ifnecessary.
2.Slide openone window sashto install supportplatform.
3.Loosely attach support angle to bottomof supportplatform
using two 7/16 g machine screws, flat washers, and
nuts. (See fig.A)
4.Place support platform against lower window track and
firmly against verticaledge of windowframe.
5.Attach support platform to window sill using three1 long
selfqapping screws.To overcome interference of support
platformwith windowtrack or stormwindow, securely attach
a 2 wide shim stripto the windowsill. Strip shouldbe as long
as width ofsupport platform and flush with backedge of sill.
Thickness of strip should be controlled by amount of
interference.(See fig. B)
6.Pull support angle against outsideof structure. Tighten two
7/16 long machine screwson top ofsupport platform.
7.Adjust leveling boltto position supportangle in alevel plane.
This willallow for proper unit angle. Tighten leveling bolt
Iocknut.
Important: Unit must be level or tilted back slightly to
facilitate propercondensatedrainage. (See fig. C)
Caution: Do notdrill aholein bottom pan.Unit is designed
to operate withapproximately 1/2 of water inbottom pan.
8.Cut two pieces of adhesive back foam seal toheight of
window opening. Remove backing and apply to vertical
inside edges of window frame andsliding sash that will
rest against unit.(Seefig. D)
9.Slide unit ontosupport platform. Besure unit sidechannel
butts against vertical edge of windowframe.
Note: If unit side channel doesnot fit securely, remove
unit and readjustleveling bolt,
10.Drill two 1/8 holes through window channel frame in
alignment with existing holes in bottom bar. Install two
3/8" long self-tapping screws through these holes. If
window channel frame is not tallenough to useexisting
holes, drill newholes off to the sideof the existinghotes
to attach the unit bottom barto the supportplatform. Unit
should be firmly anchored to window channel fame or
support platform. (Seefig. E)
11.Slide inside window sashclosed. Be surevertical edge
of inside windowsash is pressed firmly against sideof unit
cabinet. Cut remaining adhesive back foamseal to width
of window opening. Remove backing and apply to top
inside edge ofwindow frame. (Seefig. D) 4
