side at a time. Set one side into the window track and then
pull the system toward you until the other side is firmly in the
opposite window track.

Lower the upper window. The bottom of the window sash
should rest on top of the unit. The face of the top mounting
rail must be flush with the window sash.

Make sure the left & right panel frames are tight against
window tracks channels.
E
Install the frame locking screws (2 – supplied with kit) on the
right (1) and left (1) side rails in the upper window frame sash

necessary to drill pilot holes before driving the screws.
