INSTALL SILL SUPPORTS
Assemble the sill supports. Do not fully tighten
the spacer mounting screws at this time.
Before attaching the sill supports, place them on
the window stool. Select the spacer position that
will place the spacer near the outermost point
on the sill. Tighten the spacer mounting screws.
Turn the bolts and tighten the lock nuts to make
the sill supports level or tilt down 1/8
″
to the outside.
Line up the “V” notch with 12
3
⁄
8
″
marks. Drill pilot holes
and attach the sill supports.
N
OTES:
•
On narrow sills, there may not be enough room to use
the lock nut.
•
A deep offset sill may require a longer adjusting bolt
than the standard hex-head bolt provided.
•
On wood sills use the large washer between the bolt
head and the sill. This prevents the bolt from digging
into the wood.
PREPARE WINDOW
Mark the centerline of the stool. Measure from the
centerline 13
