Open window frame
1. Remove crank mechanism and catch handles.
2. Fold window sash back against exterior wall of building and
secure, or remove completely where possible.
Wood casement window installation
1. Construct a frame, using at least 1 in. (2.5 cm) thick wood
panel with a 15¹⁄₂ in. (39.4 cm) wide opening.
2. Paint frame and fasten it securely, sealing it into window
opening.
If window opening width is greater than 15¹⁄₂ in.
(39.4 cm):
1. Measure from side of window opening 15¹⁄₂ in. (39.4 cm).
From this point, measure to opposite side of window opening
to find width of filler panel. Measure height of window. Cut a
³⁄₄ in. (19 mm) thick wood filler panel this width and the full
height of the window opening.
2. Attach securely to side of opening.
3. Paint to desired color.
Install support platform
1. Attach support platform to sill plate with three ³⁄₈ in. self-
tapping screws.
2. Loosely attach support angle to bottom of support platform
using two ⁷⁄₁₆ in. machine screws, flat washers and nuts.
3. Place support platform against lower window track and firmly
against vertical edge of window frame.
4. Attach support platform to windowsill using 2 - 1 in. wood
screws.
If required, overcome interference of support platform with
window track or storm windows by securely attaching a shim
strip to the windowsill. Shim strip should be as long as width
of support platform and flush with back edge of sill.
Thickness of shim strip should be controlled by amount of
interference.
5. Pull support angle against outside of structure. Tighten two
⁷⁄₁₆ in. machine screws on top of support platform.
6. Adjust leveling bolt to position support angle in a level plane.
This will allow for proper angle. Tighten leveling bolt nut.
NOTE: Air conditioner must tilted back slightly to facilitate
proper condensate disposal.
7. Cut 2 pieces of foam seal to height of window opening.
Remove backing and apply to window frame on both sides.
