Horizontal sliding window installation instructions.

Read completely, then follow step-by-step.

Install the Window Track Gasket or Seal

For sliding window installation, fold and fit one of
the foam gaskets into the window track. This may
require cutting the ends of the gasket to make it
fit properly in the track. Discard the bottom seal;
it is not needed.

For casement window installation, remove the
backing from the bottom seal and apply it to the
horizontal inside face edge of the window frame.
Discard the foam gaskets; they are not needed.

Loosely attach the support platform to 
the support angle using 2 Type A screws, 
washers and nuts.

Attach the leveling bolt and nut.

The window track may not allow the air
conditioner to tilt towards the outside and will
keep it from draining properly. To adjust for
this, attach a piece of wood to the stool.

WOOD PIECE—

WIDTH:

LENGTH: 

Long enough to fit inside window frame.

THICKNESS: 

To determine the thickness, place 

a piece of wood between the stool and the
support platform to make it 1/16

higher 

than the top of the window track.
Attach securely with nails or screws provided by
the installer.

Measure and mark a line 8

(for casement windows)

from the window jamb. Center the support
assembly on the window track. Attach the
support platform to the window stool using 
4 Type D screws. 

NOTE:

For casement window installation, the

back edge of the support platform must butt flush
against the window frame face. Modify window
as needed.

Depending on the window track material,
you may need to drill holes in the window
track through the existing holes in the
support assembly to secure the screws.

Pull the support angle against the outside
wall and tighten the screws on top of the
support platform. Adjust the leveling bolt so
the support platform is installed with a slight
tilt to the outside. Use a level; about 1/3
bubble will be the correct slant to the
outside. Tighten the nut.
