Use and Care Manual
Operators
• While performing maintenance on electrically operated venting skylights, turn the
power off at the breaker box to avoid accidental injuries
• Open skylights (then turn off power if electric) and wipe chain off using a clean,
dry towel. Do not use any type of cleaner or solvent.
• Keep debris clear of chain.
• Manual skylights: Inspect the loop or crank handle to make sure the set-screw is
secure.
• The internal workings of the manual and the electric operators are considered
maintenance free over the lifetime of the skylight.
• Operators are pre-lubed and for most normal installations need no additional
lubrication. However, operator chains located in corrosive environments like salt
water areas and indoor pools should be coated with an anti-corrosion lubricant
such as: CorrosionX.
Condensation
• Condensation is not a skylight defect; it’s a result of atmospheric conditions
inside and outside the home.
• Condensation is the result of warm moist air coming in contact with a cooler
surface, in this case, the skylight glass. Think of the glass of ice-water on a
summer day and the “sweat” on the outside of the glass.
• Since Mother Nature (outside conditions) can’t be controlled, condensation must
be dealt with from inside the home.
