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.

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.

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.
