H. INSTALL ACTIVE SASH JAMB SIDE SCREWS AND SHIMS
Slide active sash to almost closed, check
alignment and margin of the sash strike edge
to frame. Shim active sash side frame at
each installation screw to adjust frame as
needed. Be sure top and bottom shims are
4" to 6" away from corners. Additional shims
maybe needed for proper frame alignment.
(Figure H.2) FLAT SHIMS MUST BE
USED. Be careful to NOT over shim
causing frame to roll or bow. (Figure H.3)

Re-check sash operation. Sash must slide in
and out of jamb pocket smoothly for proper
operation and lock function. If not, continue
to adjust shims, screws, and the adjustment
screw located on bottom sash rollers to
further align as needed.

IMPORTANT! CORRECT sash operation.
If jamb side frame becomes rolled
during installation, the active sash will
conflict with the frame resulting in poor
operation. The jamb side frame must
be straight and parallel to active sash.
Refer to Figure H.3 for an illustration of
proper frame to sash alignment.
