Standard Window Installation continued
STEP 10. INSTALL THE R1 INSULATION PANEL – To minimize air
leaks and ensure optimal insulation, install the included R1
insulation panel (14 in parts list) (see Figure 67A-C).
First, measure the width from one side of the cabinet/ sleeve
(covering the side angles where the wingboard was just secured)
to the end of the wingboard (see Figure 67A).
Next, cut the R1 insulation panel to the measured width and
remove protective cover, exposing adhesive on back panel
(see Figure 67B).
Last, evenly apply the adhesive side of the panel across the
entire height and width from side angle to wingboard panel
(see Figure 67C).
Repeat the steps above for the other wingboard panel.
STEP 11. INSTALL THE WINDOW SEALING GASKETS – Measure
and cut the dark foam window seal gasket (Item 12) and
install it between the upper glass panel and the top part of
the window sash (see Figure 67A).
STEP 12. Carefully team lift the chassis and set it into the cabinet. Slide
the chassis stopping approximately 3″ from full insertion. Insert
the chassis seal gasket (Item 13) one inch deep between the
chassis and the cabinet (see Figure 68) as shown on Page 37.
A paint stir stick or ruler might be helpful here. Begin inserting
the gasket at either bottom corner and go up the side, across the
top, and down the opposite side. Then push the chassis all the
way into the cabinet.
NOTE: If the chassis seal gasket is not installed or installed improperly,
the operation of the unit will be negatively affected. Operational
noise and outside noise will also amplified.
STEP 13. Reattach the EntryGard ™ chassis and EntryGard ™ retainer wire
with the same screw retained in Step 1 (see Figure 54).
