FRAME as tightly as possible. Each spindle adjusts

allow for molding, uneven walls, etc.
IMPORTANT: If gate is properly tightened the yellow
and red pressure indicators will be absent (6a). If the
RED pressure indicator is present further tightening is
required (6b). If yellow is still present, gate installation
is acceptable but additional tightening is encouraged
(6c).

handle. If gate is properly tightened yellow and red
indicators will be absent (9a). If RED is present further
tightening is required (9b). If yellow is still present, gate
