- Tilt the sash open 90 degrees.
(See Figure 1) Tilt latches are
located at either side on top
of the sash.
- Gradually raise one side of
the sash higher than the other
side until sash comes out of place
(See Figure 2).
- Pivot bar on sash fits into
pivot shoe in main frame jamb
(See Figure 3).
TO REMOVE EITHER SASH:
- To replace sash put pivot bar
into highest shoe and push down
to align other pivot bar with
lower shoe.
- Tilt sash back up and lock
into place.
CAUTION: The balances are pretensioned
to operate with the weight of
the sash. When the sash is removed,
the balances will "snap up" if
the balance lock is not properly
engaged (See Figure 3). Make sure
the lock is engaged before removing
the sash. (The lock should be
engaged when the sash is tilted
to the 90° position. The slot
in the pivot shoe should be in
a vertical position). If the balance
does "snap up", place the head
of a flat head screwdriver in
the slot of the pivot shoe, pull
the pivot shoe down to where it
was before it "snapped up", and
twist the screwdriver 1/4 to 1/2
turn until the slot is in a vertical
position.
