FINISHING INSTALLATION

1. Once the L-Brackets are installed, remove the tape holding the REMOVABLE SHORT FRAME SECTION in place

2. If gaps exist between bottom of FRAME and attic floor, apply a generous bead of expanding (one-part) foam or caulk

around the base of the FRAME, filling in gaps. DO NOT APPLY FOAM OR CAULK TO REMOVABLE SIDE (See

Pictures #18 & 19)

3. Apply generous bead of expanding (one-part) foam or caulk if gaps exist inside FRAME, where attic decking, wooden

frame and The Energy Guardian® FRAME meet to ensure air seal (See Pictures #20)& 21)

4. When installing the LID, the label and handles should face towards pulldown ladder, not towards attic

5. Use shims to level the FRAME if necessary due to very uneven attic flooring or decking (Foam will handle most gaps)

6. Use caution when removing the LID to enter attic. Make sure it is off to the side and secure so it stays put until you

replace it on your way down the attic stairs

7. Make sure the LID is seated properly - Make sure lip of LID is seated inside frame to maintain the proper air seal

8. Always use caution when entering or exiting your attic
