Remove Interior Frame Cover #1.
If an Interior Frame Cover has a "Quick Release Band"
around the cover, pull the band to help remove the cover.
The cover on vent units where the lock handle slot is located and the cover on the
opposite frame side.
Note: Interior Frame Covers #1 are jamb covers on Casement, Fixed Awning/Casement
and Large Awning units. On Standard Awning units, Interior Frame Covers #1 are the
head and sill covers.
1. Approximately 1" from the
bottom (end) of the cover, insert
the "hooked" end of the tool
between the cover and the sash.
2. Rotate the tool toward the sash
and continue to insert the tool
past the spline hole up to the
point where the bend in the
tool is aligned with the edge
of the cover.
Note: When the tool is inserted with the bend aligned with the cover edge there
will be a slight gap between the tool and the face of the sash.
3. Push the tool flat against
the sash (not a lot of force is
needed) to release the back
cover barb from the frame
kerf behind the cover. While
keeping tension on the tool,
pull the tool away from the
frame to start releasing the
cover barbs from the frame
kerfs.

4. Rotate the cover end slightly toward the interior; when the
cover begins to pull away from the frame, relocate the tool
under the cover towards the interior as shown, then pull
the tool away from the frame to continue the release of the
cover barbs from the frame.
5. Reposition the tool with the hook under the front edge
of the cover. Slide the tool over while pulling the cover
away from the frame. This will release the flexible barbs
on the interior side of the cover, which will aid in cover
removal. Continue sliding along the length of the cover
while pulling it away from the frame until it is removed.
6. Repeat Steps B1 thru B5 to
remove the other Interior
Frame Cover #1.
