Step 2

Draw a horizontal line 1/8" above the window

trim. This line will be used to properly space

the Window Header from the window trim. See

Figure 2 at right. This will allow for proper

clearance between the window and the Window

Header.

Step 1

Begin by removing the Window Header from the

Window Header Base. This can be

accomplished by disengaging the locking tabs.

Figure 1 at right shows the location of these

tabs. Note: Depending on the size of your

Window Header Kit, there may be more or less

locking tabs. To release the locks, start in the

middle of the Header Assembly and pull the wall

of the Header away from the Header Base.

Continue this process working your way to the

ends of the Window Header Assembly.

the wall, attach the Window Header by snapping it into

place. See Figure 5 at right.

Note:

Figures 4A & 4B at right show cross sections of the

Window Header in place. In some instances the

Window Header may rock on the high point of the

siding. To overcome this problem, insert the screws or

Shutter Loks into the wall evenly. See Figure 4A at

right. Insert the screws or Shutter Loks evenly,

working between top and bottom.

Step 3

Center the Window Header Base over the window and

spaced 1/8" above the window trim. Use the elongated

slots in the Header Base and attach the base to the

house using the screws provided. Alternatively, the

preferred method is to use Shutter Loks. The raised

portions of the Header Base with the round holes

receive the Shutter Loks. Attach Shutter Loks by drilling

1/4" holes into the wall. Be sure not to fasten the screws

or Shutter Loks too tightly to allow for expansion and

contraction. See Figures 3A and 3B at right.
