REMOVAL OF SCREEN

Take care to always hold the screen during the removal process to prevent damage due to falling

1. Raise the lower sash until the lowest pair of pins is exposed.

Pull in each pin toward the center of the screen and gently push the lower part of the screen until it clears the retaining wall of the window frame. _" is more than enough! Do not bend the screen by over-flexing!

2. With the lower sash about 12" raised from the sill, tilt the lower sash and pivot it until you can rest the sash against the frame Lower the upper sash approximately 6" above the lower sash and tilt it in and down until it rests against the lower sash.

Note - With the Series 240 Double Hung, never leave a sash in an exact 90 degree position as it could automatically disengage from the window.

4. Pull in each upper pin toward the center of the screen and In many windows, this will totally release the screen from the window. (See picture to left.)

Be careful not to let go of the screen during final pin removal!

5. The screen can now be brought into the house through the open upper window.
(See pictures below.)

REPLACEMENT OF SCREEN

1. Tilt the sashes into the position shown as shown in picture (to left).

2. Put the screen through the window and wedge the screen frame carefully against the sill.

3. Pull the screen frame in until you can engage the middle set of spring-loaded pins. Then engage the upper set of spring-loaded pins.
(See picture to left)

4.Return both sashes to sliding position and raise them leaving 6" opening at the top and as much opening space at the bottom as possible.

5. You will now engage the lower spring-loaded pins. It may be necessary to raise the screen frame, as it usually will slip down when you released it to tilt the sashes back into the window frame. Push up with one hand on the screen frame until the bottom of the screen frame rises above the window sill and is in place. Holding the screen in place with one hand, engage one of the lower spring-loaded pins to hold the screen in place. You can now release the screen frame and engage the other, lower pin.

The screen is now in place.

REMOVAL OF SCREEN

A half screen is spring loaded inside a channel of the window frame. The springs are located on the screen opposite the small black pull-tabs.

1. Open the window fully. The window in the illustration is a double hung, however the procedure is the same for a horizontal slider.

2. Slide the screen a few inches toward the center of the window.
(See picture to left)

3. Gently pull the two black tabs away from the window frame, compressing the springs.
(See picture to right)

4.When the screen frame clears the window frame, gently push out and allow the screen to disengage the frame channel on the spring side of the screen.

5. Bring the screen into the house through the opening.
(See pictures below.)

  

REPLACEMENT OF SCREEN

Note: While it is acceptable for short-term use to slide the screen from the top or the bottom of the window in order to use the other operating sash of the window, for long-term use it is better to reverse the screen so the seals will close properly. Always keep the side of the screen with the pile seal in the centre of the window (at the meet rail) whenever installing the screen for use in a particular location.

1. Raise the lower sash. Insert the screen through the opening.
( See picture to right)

2. Place the side of the screen with the springs in the "U channel" that is built into the window frame jamb. (Whether this is the left or right will depend on whether you intend to use the screen for the upper or lower sash. Always keep the screen side with pile in the centre of the window.)
(See picture to left)

3. Compress the screen springs inside the frame jamb channel. Hold the two pull-tabs and gently bring the screen frame tight against the window frame.
(See picture to right)

5. Gently push the screen tightly into the U channel on the frame. The screen is now in place.
( See picture to right)

4. When the screen is pulled fully against the window frame, release the pressure on the springs and allow the screen frame to ease into the U channel on the side of the screen with the black pull-tabs.
