Special Fastening Requirements For WZ3-IMPACT Tilt

Windows Only
Additional brackets are applied to the Wind Zone 3 (WZ3) products listed
below. The factory screws must be backed out of the bracket and replaced
with a #8 x 2 1/2" (minimum) stainless steel (required) screw.
1. Double-check that the windows are installed level, square and
withouttwist.
2. Operate the window to
verify bracket location
is correct and has
no clearance issues.
If a clearance issue
is identied adjust
brackets as necessary
for proper operation.
3. Remove one screw
from the bracket
attached to the frame.
Apply enough sealant
to the bracket hole to cover the existing screw hole and so there
will be adequate squeeze out around the head of the screw to be
appliednext.
4. Place a shim between
the window frame and
rough opening, in-line
with the bracket. Align
the shim, so the screw
goes through the
bracket and holds the
shim in place.
5. Apply sealant to
the treads of a
#8 x 2 1/2"(minimum)
stainless steel
(required) screw and
apply it to the bracket
hole. Tighten until snug
and squeeze out is observed around the screw head. Wipe off any
excess sealant and repeat for the otherscrew.
6. Repeat for any remainingbracket holes and any remaining brackets.
