Use and Care Guide

Operating a Single Hung Side Load Window
To Open the Bottom Sash
1. Unlock the window.
2. Grasp the integral
finger pull.
3. Raise the bottom sash
to the desired height.
1. Place a small, flat screwdriver under
the bottom edge of the balance clip
(located on either side of the window
frame approximately 3/4 of the way up
the mainframe jamb), and gently pry
it outward from the window frame to
about a 45-degree angle. Repeat this
procedure for both clips.
2. Unlock the window locks.
3. Grasp the lower sash at the top and
bottom and raise it until the top of
the sash passes the balance clips and
disengages the sash from the balances.
4. Pull the sash into the pocket on either
side of the mainframe until the opposite
side disengages from the mainframe
jamb pocket.
5. Rotate the sash toward the interior of
the room until it clears the mainframe,
and push the other side of the sash in
the opposite direction to disengage it
from the mainframe jamb pocket.
6. To reinstall the sash, just reverse the
above procedure.
Note: After reinstalling the sash, make
sure that the balance clips are pressed
back into their locking position to
prevent the sash from disengaging the
next time it is opened.
Sash Removal and Replacement
The side load sash design and block and tackle balance system
make removing the window for easy cleaning a simple matter.
