SCOPE OF DELIVERY
Check the scope of deliver directly after unpacking to ensure everything has been included and there are no faults. Begin the assembly only when you are sure that all parts are present and undamaged. Do not accidentally dispose of assembly materials when disposing of the packaging material.
INSTALLATION
Consider the safety information and follow assembly steps 1 to 20. Use the required tools carefully, to avoid injuring yourself or others.
-
Measure the clearance width measurement B, by measuring the horizontal inner distance to the open window. Measure the clearance height measurement H, by measuring the vertical inner distance to the open window.
Attention: You will need a contact area of at least. 23 mm to the sides, 36 mm above, and 30 mm below the window, in order to mount the insect screen frame.
Notice: Take care to take the measurements in millimeters. 1 cm = 10 mm -
Mark both sections 1 with measurement B minus 26 mm. Shorten both sections 1 at the marked point with a metal saw.
Example: Measured clearance width B = 1100 mm – 26 mm = 1074 mm
Attention: Risk of injury! Use the saw with caution. -
A. Mark both sections 2a with measurement H minus 1033 mm. Shorten both sections 2a at the marked point with a metal saw.
Example: Measured clearance height H = 1800 – 1033 mm = 767 mm. Both lower height sections 2b (1009 mm section length) are not to be shortened!
Attention: Risk of injury! Use the saw with caution.
B. For windows with a rain guard (e. g. wooden windows), the frame must align with the rain guard in order to seal the window. To do this, mark both sections 2a with measurement H + z – 1063 mm. Shorten both sections at the
marked point with a metal saw.
Example: Measured clearance height H = 1800 mm, z = 50 mm (distance of lower frame part to the rain guard) >>> 1800 mm + 50 mm – 1063 mm = 787 mm.
Note: Risk of injury! Use the saw with caution.
-
Mark the middle section 4 with measurement B minus 26 mm.
Example: Measured clearance width B = 1100 mm – 26 mm = 1074 mm. Shorten the middle section at the marked sections with a metal saw.
Note: Risk of injury! Use the saw with caution. -
Deburr the cut surfaces between sections 1, 2a, and 4 with a file.
-
A. Calculate the blind frame thickness X (the outermost part of the window frame) of your window using a tape measure. Bend the four fastening springs 5a and 5b using the bending device 5c to the calculated dimension and add 3mm. For this purpose put the fastening springs 5a and 5b into the bending device 5c as shown and bend them to a 90-degree angle. The scale of the dimension to be bent is located at the inner edge of the fastening spring.
Example: Measured blind frame thickness X = 14 mm + 3 mm = 17 mm .
B. For windows with a rain guard (e. g. wooden windows) measure the blind frame strength X1 (above) and X2 (below) of the window frame with measuring tape. The blind frame is the outermost frame section when the window is open. Mark the upper blind frame measurement X1 plus 3 mm from the fastening springs 5a and the lower blind frame measurement X2 plus 3 mm from the fastening springs 5b. Bend the fastening springs 5a and 5b using the bending device 5c. For this purpose put the fastening springs 5a and 5b into the bending device 5c as shown and bend them to a 90-degree angle. The scale of the dimension to be bent is located at the inner edge of the fastening spring.
-
Connect vertical profiles 2a and 2b via the central connector 12a. Use a rubber mallet.
-
Insert the suspension springs 5b into the dedicated recess in the middle corner 12a. Connect the middle corners 12a with the middle section 4. Use a rubber mallet.
-
Attach the covering caps 12b to the central connector 12a.
-
Connect the sections 1 and 2a/2b with corner connectors 3 to a frame.
-
Place the sealing brush 9 on the outward upper groove of sections 1 and 2a/2b and press it with the thin tip B of the welt tool 8 in the die groove.
-
Shorten the sealing brush 9 with scissors to match the recess length. Roll the material 11 over the frame.
-
Attach material 11 with a rubber welt 10 to the welt grooves 1, 2a/2b, and 4. Use the wide side A of the welt tool 8 to do this. Shorten the welt 10 with scissors after you have attached it all around.
-
Shorten the material 11 outside along the welt 10 with a cutter.
-
Attach the upper suspension springs 5a 36 mm away from the frame with the screws 6. Careful: do not over-tighten the screws.
-
A. Attach the lower suspension springs 5b 30 mm away from the frame with the screws 6. Careful: do not over-tighten the screws.
B. Attach the lower suspension springs 5b with the determined distance z (e.g. 50 mm) to the frame with the screws 6. Careful: do not over-tighten the screws. -
Link the left and right grip elements to units 7a and 7b and insert the metal pins 7c into the recesses to connect.
-
Screw the grips 7a and 7b left and right with screws 7d into the screw groove of the frame sections 2b.
-
The insect screen is now ready for mounting. Open your window and place your insect screen frame. Guide the upper suspension hooks 5a into the blind frames from outside. Pull the frames in and push them out so the the lower suspension springs 5b attach behind the blind frame. Stay safe and do not lean out of the window – danger of falling!
-
Push the fixation springs 5b outwards in the middle connectors 12a and thus fix the window in the middle.
