5. WITH “IN” SIDE FLUSH TO RETAINER, ATTACH END-CAPS USING

INCLUDED ¼” SCREWS AND A #1 PHILLIPS BIT (S7). TO PREVENT

STRIPPING GO SLOW! TIP: IF YOU ARE DOING MANY DOORS,

ARE HAVING DIFFICULTY USING THE SMALL SCREWS, OR

AESTHETICS ARE NOT PARAMOUNT, YOU CAN ATTACH

END-CAPS BY HAMMERING STANDARD NAILS, SUCH AS

1 1/4” (3d) 15 GAUGE TRIM NAILS, INTO THE SCREW SLOTS.

6. PLACE (2) 1/16” SHIMS OR (2) COINS (EX. PENNY, NICKEL, QUARTER) UNDER SWEEP, 2-3” IN FROM

EDGES (S8). THIS WILL SET IDEAL GAP UNDER THE XCLUDER FILLED GASKETS.

7. SUPPORT SWEEP ON TOP OF SHIMS, CENTER ON DOOR & AFFIX USING INCLUDED 1” SCREWS & EITHER

#2 PHILLIPS OR ¼” HEX BIT. PLACING SCREWS NEAR TOPS OF SLOTS WILL ALLOW FOR MAXIMUM

ADJUSTABILITY. TIP: ONLY FULLY TIGHTEN 2 OUTERMOST SCREWS (S9) AT THIS POINT.

8. REMOVE SHIMS AND CHECK DOOR SWING BY OPENING AND CLOSING THE DOOR SEVERAL TIMES, TAKE

NOTE OF ANY EXCESSIVE DRAGGING OR WEDGING. IF NEEDED, LOOSEN SCREW ON PROBLEMATIC SIDE

ONLY, SLIGHTLY LIFT SWEEP, AND RETIGHTEN. REPEAT UNTIL DOOR SWINGS UNIMPEDED. NOTE: FOR

MAXIMUM EFFECTIVENESS AGAINST PESTS & THE ELEMENTS THE GAP UNDER GASKET SHOULD BE AS

NARROW AS POSSIBLE.

9. COMPLETE SWEEP INSTALLATION BY TIGHTENING REMAINING SCREWS.

10. USING LINE FROM STEP 2, CUT COVER WITH HACKSAW, CUT-OFF WHEEL, OR

MITER SAW WITH APPROPRIATE CUTTING BLADE. IF NEEDED, CLEAN UP

EDGE WITH DEBURRING TOOL, BLADE, AND/OR METAL FILE.

11. WIPE THE SWEEP SURFACE CLEAN TO ENSURE STRONG BONDING OF TAPE.

IF THE SWEEP HAS BECOME EXCESSIVELY DIRTY OR OILY, USE ISOPROPYL

ALCOHOL TO CLEAN.

12. PEEL BACKING FROM PRE-APPLIED ADHESIVE SQUARES.

13. TO PREVENT ACCIDENTAL ADHESION, CAREFULLY SLIDE VERSA-LINE COVER

DOWN ONTO SWEEP WHILE HOLDING THE BOTTOM OF THE COVER AWAY

FROM SWEEP (C1). CLEAT ON THE COVER WILL ENGAGE CLEAT ON THE

SWEEP. AFTER COVER BOTTOMS-OUT, CHECK SIDE-TO-SIDE ALIGNMENT,

SLIDING AS NEEDED. ONCE ALIGNED, PRESS COVER TIGHTLY AGAINST THE

SWEEP, FOCUSING ON THE AREAS NEAR THE TAPE (C2). NOTE: ONCE FULLY

ADHERED IT WILL BE VERY DIFFICULT TO REMOVE THE COVER SO

ATTACH WITH CARE.
