the brushweatherstrip is absent for the last 2 inches. That space will be
filled by End Stoppers (L) ).
GIVE your brushweatherstrips a FORCEFUL PINCH. It is critical that the
brushweatherstrip channel be FORCEFULLY PINCHED so as to ENSURE
that the BRUSHWEATHERSTRIP CANNOT MOVE.
To Test that the brushweatherstrips DO NOT MOVE, your fingertip should
be able to run up and down the brushweather strip WITHOUT MOVING the
brushweatherstrip at all.
You may want to pinch at several points along brushweatherstrip until
brushweatherstrip does NOT MOVE AT ALL (See figure 2.4.2A).
You MUST pinch the small metal channel that holds the
brushweatherstrip, against the brushweatherstrips in such a way as to
secure the brushweatherstrips and PREVENT them from moving. The
brushweatherstrips must NOT move in future, for if they do they will entangle
themselves in the Screen Cartridge Header's mechanism. and cause the
mechanism to stop functioning. The pinching in this step is CRITICAL
to the functioning of the mechanism as it will immobilize and secure the
brushweatherstrips.
2.4.3. Insert Lateral Insect Screen Track Stoppers (L) inside the apposite
insertion channels found in the Lateral Insect Screen Tracks (J) (See Figure
2.4.3.) Please note you will be placing the Stopper (L) in the LEFT channel
of the LEFT Side Insect Screen Track and the second Stopper (L) in the
Right channel of the RIGHT Side Insect Screen Track.
Note that the pointed tip of the Lateral Insect Screen Track Stoppers should
be inserted tip side first into the channel.
The protruding tip part of the Screen Track Stopper (L) should facing the
interior of the window opening, that is; facing the Lateral Insect Screen
Track or Side Jamb on the opposite side of the window opening.

STEP 2.4. TIPS
DO NOT FORGET to SECURELY pinch the Lateral Insect Screen Tracks (J) channel where the brushweatherstrip is.
In the installation video it can be noted that the brushweatherstrips are pinched forcefully so that is a slight indentation in the Lateral Insect
Screen Track (J) where the brushweatherstrips are pinched.
This is an IMPORTANT step, as it will prevent the brushweatherstrip from moving during the mosquito screen's retracting operations.
This step will ensure that the brushweatherstrip remains fixed and stable during during the functioning of the retractable mosquito
screen.
The brushcombstrip must NOT move as it CANNOT and SHOULD NOT move during the functioning of the retractable mosquito
screen.
You may want to review the our 10 minute Installation Video which follows the order of the steps in these instructions and go to Step 2
where the video demonstrates in detail how to pinch the ends of Lateral Insect Screen Tracks (J) so as to PREVENT the brushweatherstrip
from moving.
It is highly recommended that if possible you watch the Installation Video for maximum success with this step. Click on link to view video

OPTIONAL: At this point you may want to skip to Steps 3.1.1 - 3.1.2 and then WITHOUT the use of a drill, complete a TRIAL fitting of the
installation, to ensure all your measurements are correct and fit prior to starting the drilling and finalizing of the installation.
Note should you find some tight fittings due to irregularities in the level of your windows or height disparities between your right window
jamb height and your left window jamb height, you can at this point use the metal file to file down the Lateral Insect Screen Tracks until they
fit the jamb height well.
Once you have verified that everything fits you can return to complete Steps 3.1., 3.2. completely, using your drill and screws.
