Remove Top Sash

NOTE: If top sash is stationary, remove the support

blocks at the bottom of the top sash (FIGURE

8). Be sure to hang on to the sash so it will not

fall when its support blocks are removed.

If sash is “painted-in”, insert a putty knife between

sash and side and head parting stops. Work knife

around all sides to break paint seal.

1. Lower the top sash so it is just above the stool.

2. Use a pry bar or stiff putty knife to pry side parting

stops and head parting stop away from side and

head jambs. Remove all pieces (FIGURES 9, 10 &

11).

Move sash slowly and carefully to

prevent glass from shattering. Wear

full protective clothing including gloves and safe-

ty glasses.

NOTE: If present, hold spring-loaded side bolts in the

disengaged position.

3. Rotate one side of sash inward (FIGURE 11). Cut

sash cord (if present). Some units use a spring

balance that must be disconnected.

4. Continue working sash toward interior and remove

cord or spring from opposite side.

5. Safely discard top sash.
