Gate must be installed in one of two ways:
either inside window casing (Fig. 16) or directly
onto face of window casing (Fig. 17).
Follow ’gate’ installation instructions through #6.
After cutting out templates (a) and (b), hold tem-
plate (a) vertically and completely outstreched
against mounting surface with the end marked
" " even with bottom of window or resting on
window sill. Do this for both templates and con-
tinue following ’gate’ installation instructions until
#12.
If mounting directly to face of window casing,
stop pin (t) will not be needed. If mounting inside
window casing, continue following ’gate’ instruc-
tions exactly from #12 through completion.
