1
Lay out rails L as shown with screw tracks facing up.
Insert the hex head portion of screw D into each track
(see Detail G). With bracket K facing downward, align
holes (indicated by arrows), with hex head threads and
lower into place. Tighten bracket snugly against rails with
locknuts H.
2
From opposite end of rails, again insert the hex head
portion of screw D into each track. Align holes in
bracket J with hex screw threads and lower into place.
Install locknuts H. Square up assembly and tighten all
fasteners. Ensure all hole locations match those in draw-
ing before proceeding.
3
Position a UniLeg
™
at each end of rail assembly with
the extended brackets facing the same direction as the
leg ares (see Side View). Align rail anges with retainer
hooks on top of UniLegs
™
and slide into place (see Detail
H). Note: Ask for help holding UniLegs
™
apart during this
step if needed.
Caution: To prevent the tool from tipping during use, always ensure the extended portion of the bracket is facing the same direction as the leg are (see
step 3 above). Always situate tool on level ground
4
To nish installing the rail assembly, loosen each T
knob and extend latch plates up and over rail ange
(see detail). Tighten T knobs snugly in place. Check T
knobs often and tighten as needed.
5
Insert a hex screw D through the outward hole of the
extended portion of the bracket K. Start a knob F sev-
eral threads onto the hex screw D and leave loose for now.
Repeat same procedure on opposite side of rail assembly.
6
Align slotted brackets on underside of tool to outside of
extended brackets K and J. Align slots with hex screw
threads and slide in place to a complete stop. Tighten
knobs F snugly. Install handles referring to Steps 8 & 9
above.
Forming Gutter-Hood
Note: General knowledge in the installation of gutters and/or roong eld will be very helpful in using these guidelines. Please take time to read this User Guide before getting
started. In this section, we will show how to form basic gutter-hood from standard trim coil.
1
Cut a blank up to 50 inches long and to the desired
width. Insert edge fully into slot with nish side (the
side exposed to the weather), facing as shown. Bend up-
ward 90˚ to create a 1/2" ange.
2
With nish side of material facing downward, slide
at end between roller and anvil until the 1/2" ange is
fully seated in notch. Note: The 1/2" ange must be exact
to work properly with brackets.
3
Lift roller handle to a complete stop to form the radius.
Note: When forming standard trim-coil, use of the
reinforcement clip (step 4), is unnecessary.
4
For gutter-coil, insert blank per Step 2 above and slide
reinforcement clip in place. Lift roller handle to form
radius without allowing blank to touch or hit the clip
which can cause damage to material.
5
Return roller to the starting position and remove rein-
forcement clip if in use. Rotate blank and slide from
tool. Note: Practice with smaller lengths until satised
with results.
6
Cut a 3” or 4” strip and perform steps 1, 2 and 3 above.
This will become your template to use throughout the
job and will be further explained in the following steps
below.
Pre-Installation Note: Most trim/gutter coil comes from the factory with a glossy, or shiny finish which can cause rain to overshoot the gutter opening (similar to
water running off a waxed car). This is a common occurrence in the gutter/leaf protection industry and should be discussed with the property owner. Normally, the
gutter-hood loses it’s shiny finish after a short time of exposure to the elements with the water then wrapping around the gutter-hood and falling into the gutter
trough the way it’s supposed to. One solution, for those who don’t want to wait for Mother Nature to do her thing, is to remove the shiny finish on the gutter-hood
surface by lightly wiping it with a Scotch-Brite® type pad so it dulls the surface slightly. This should allow the water to properly adhere to the gutter-hood until it is
deposited into the gutter trough. Note: Scotch-Brite® is a registered trademark of the 3M corporation.
