Lower Sash Track & Threshold
Installation for Horizontal-Sliding Sashes
on 8', 10', 12', & 16' Floor-Mounted Hoods
The lower sash track assembly is comprised of a sash track threshold, front and
rear ramps, and threshold support brackets. With the corner posts removed the
sash track threshold should be placed on the floor between the left and right
corner posts, with their corner posts removed at this time. Lay the threshold flat,
perpendicular to the hood liner walls. The sash track threshold will extend to the
hood sidetracks. Once the sash track threshold has been placed in its final
position, check to be sure it is level. It must be level to ensure proper movement
of each of the door assemblies. If the threshold is not level, place shim material
under it until it becomes level. Attach the sash track threshold to the hood
sidetracks with the threshold support brackets and #10-24 hardware. Both front
and rear ramps are held in position without mechanical fasteners and can be
removed for easy cleaning, should it be required. Simply place the flange of each
ramp assembly in the position as shown in the diagram below for proper fit. The
ramps are self-leveling to match your existing floor conditions. The hood corner
posts should be installed prior to the placement of the front sash ramp. See Figure
3-5 and Figure 1-2.
