STEP 3.1. INSTALLING the HEADER and LATERAL TRACKS into
WINDOW
3.1.1. Insert the Screen Cartridge Header (A1) into the top of the window
opening by first inserting the side without the Cone Spring (H) into the top
of the window opening and then pushing the other side into position while
exerting lateral pressure against the Screen Cartridge Header (A1) until the
Screen Cartridge Header (A) is seated into position.
(See Figure 3.1)
Ensure that the Screen Cartridge Header (A1) is correctly and securely
inserted within the wall opening. (See Figure 3.1A)
Ensure that The Screen Cartridge Header (A1) is parallell to the window
jamb corner and IN contact with the top of the HEAD JAMB (top of window
beam). (See Figure 3.1B)
Using the included screws (M) affix the Screen Cartridge Header (A1) to the
wall or window opening, by drilling screws (M) through the corresponding
holes in the Screen Cartridge End Caps (E & I) and into the wall. (See
Figure 3.1C)
Drilling the Retractable Insect Screen Screen Tracks into the wall will make
the Retractable Insect Screen more secure and is required for installations
as drilling secures the Retractable Insect Screen firmly making the Insect
Screen safer. Additionally, this securing of the Insect Screen allows for
smoother operation of the screen over time as the insect screeen rises and
lowers in the Side Insect Screen Tracks. This smooth operation facillitated
by firm adherence to the wall it has been drilled into will PREVENT
operational problems in the future.
Note: To affix to cement walls or to other wall structures requiring Wall
Anchors, mark hole positions on the wall that correspond to the pre-drilled
holes in the plastic Screen Header End Caps. Move the Screen Cartridge
Header (A1) slightly to enable you drilling corresponding holes with a 15/64
inch (6mm) concrete drill bit.
Insert the included wall anchors, realign the Screen Cartridge Header
(A1).
3.1.2. Install the Lateral Insect Screen Tracks (J)
Ensure that the Lateral Insect Screen Track (J) brushweatherstrip side is
facing the interior of the window opening. That is; facing the side screen
track on the opposite side of the window. (See Figure 3.1.2A)
Ensure that the Side Insect Screen Stopper (L) is in position. The Right
Lateral insect Screen Track should have the Stopper (L) in the Right
Channel. The Left Lateral Insect Screen Track should have the Stopper (L)
in the Left Channel
Figure 3.2B shows the Left Side Insect Screen Track with the Stopper (L)
in the left channel and the Lateral Insect Screen Track (J) Stopper (L) at
the bottom. The brushweatherstrip is above the Stopper (L) and facing the
Interior of the window opening. (See Figure 3.1.2B)
Start inserting the Lateral Insect Screen Track (J) into the Screen Cartridge
Header (A) by aligning the Left Lateral Insect Screen Track (J) with the
center of the leftmost side of the Screen Cartridge Header (See Figure
3.1.2C)
INSERT ONE Lateral Insect Screen Track (J) at a time into the sides of the
Screen Cartridge Header (A).
Insert the LEFT Lateral Insect Screen Track (J) into the protruding plastic
appendage on the Screen Cartridge Header (A). (See Figure 3.1.2C)
