Resumen del manual
These instructions are for Philips Products, Inc. vinyl windows only. PLEASE READ THESE INSTRUCTIONS COMPLETELY BEFORE INSTALLING THE WINDOW. 1. These instructions represent an acceptable installation method. Other methods may be acceptable. Determining the acceptability of alternate installation methods is the sole responsibility of the housing manufacturer. 2. Appropriate personal protective equipment (such as safety glasses, gloves, steel-toed boots, etc.) should be worn during the installation process. Caution: Weight of products requires proper lifting techniques. Use a reasonable number of people with the required strength to carry, lift, and install the window unit. These instructions are not intended to address all of the safety issues associated with the installation of these windows; it is the responsibility of the housing manufacturer to establish appropriate safety practices. 3. PHILIPS PRODUCTS, INC. DOES NOT WARRANT THAT THE PRODUCTS AND INSTRUCTIONS PROVIDED COMPLY WITH ALL APPLICABLE BUILDING CODES AND REGULATIONS. It is the responsibility of the housing manufacturer to insure the products and methods used in construction and installation conform to all applicable building codes and regulations. 4. For casement style windows, see page 9, for additional instructions. 5. Do not leave windows in direct sunlight when wrapped. ROUGH OPENING PREPARATION 1. Make certain the rough opening (referred to as "R.O." in the remainder of document) is correctly sized and constructed. The R.O. must be ." greater in width and height than the portion of the window that fits in the R.O. The R.O. sill must be square within 1/8" across its width. However, if the R.O. sill is out of square by a greater amount, it may not be possible to shim and square the window in the opening. 2 2. Check the squareness with diagonal measurements (see figure 1). The difference between 1 to 4 and 2 to 3 should not exceed 1/4". If the R.O. does not conform to these requirements, it must be modified so that the sill is square to the floor within tolerance and the diagonals are within the 1/4" allowance. Figure 1 3. Inspect the exterior face of the R.O. where the mounting flange of the window will contact. This area must not have gaps or voids beneath the mounting flange. The sheathing or exterior wall material that the window will be fastened to must be structurally adequate so that the window unit is fully anchored. WINDOW INSPECTION AND PREPARATION Window Terminology – Become familiar with the terminology used throughout these instructions by studying figure 2. 3 1. Measure the window prior to proceeding with the installation to Figure 2 ensure that it matches the rough opening. 2. These windows are fabricated with fusion welded joined corners. Care should be exercised in the handling of the products as it is possible to crack the welded outer frame. Inspect the outer frame for damage. If frame is cracked, fractured, or damaged due to handling, contact Philips Products, Inc. for instructions. 3. Inspect the mounting flanges to ensure they have not been damaged or distorted during shipping or handling to the extent that they will not seat flat against the exterior perimeter of the R.O. If damaged or distorted, straighten the mounting flange so that it will make contact with the exterior face of the wall or contact Philips Products, Inc. for instructions. 4. Windows must always be closed and locked during installation. Make sure there are no gaps or voids between the window mounting flange and the exterior perimeter of the R.O. Gaps or voids in this area may provide a path for water and air to enter. 5. It is possible to install the window "upside down" and/or "inside out" which will cause the unit to operate incorrectly, thereby voiding the warranty. Note: The weep holes are always at the bottom of the window at the exterior face (see figure 2). Never fill, modify, or block weep holes. Figure 3 5 6. Apply a ." continuous bead of pumpable sealant to the back 4. Warning: Fenestration products are not to be used with side of the mounting flange (see figure 3), in line with pre-corrugated metal siding. punched holes. (Caution: If the window units are pre-sealed prior to installation, a skin may form on the sealant, causing a potential for failure. Refer to the sealant manufacturers instructions for sealant curing time. Be sure to install the window before the sealant sets up on the mounting flange.) WINDOW INSTALLATION 1. Place the window in the R.O. with the window sill resting on the R.O. sill. If the R.O. sill is not square to the floor and if you have elected to shim the window, then place shims beneath the lowcorner of the unit until the sill of the unit is square. Shims must be placed beneath the extreme corners of the window frame; additional shims must be placed every 12" on center to fully support the weight of the unit. Shims may be used at the frame/jambs if these frame/jambs are not straight and plumb; use enough shims to st...
