Check that the width of the inside of the window (where the actuator is to be
assembled) is over 375 mm, otherwise the actuator should not be installed.
Check that once the actuator has been installed the
distance between the fixed part of the window frame
(where the actuator is to be assembled) and the mobile
part of the window frame (where the bracket is to be
fixed) is greater than or equal to 0 mm (Fig. 1). If this is
not the case the actuator will not function correctly as the
window will not close correctly. If required, add additional
thickness below the support brackets to reset the quota.
For bottom hung window frames injury could be caused by accidental falls of the
window. An appropriately sized flexible link arm or fall prevention safety system
designed to resist a force equal to at least three times the total weight of the window
MUST be installed.
8.1.
Preparation of actuator for assembly
Before starting assembly of the actuator, prepare the following material for completion,
equipments and tools.
For fixing onto metal window frames: M5 threaded inserts (6 pieces), M5x12 flat
headed metric screws (6 pieces).
For fixing onto wooden window frames: self threading screws for wood Ø4.5 (6
pieces).
For fixing onto PVC window frames: self threading screws for metal Ø4.8 (6 pieces).
Equipment and tools: measuring tape, pencil, drill/screwdriver, set of drill heads for
metal, insert for screwing in, electricians pliers, screwdrivers.

Assembly for top hung windows, outward opening
A.
Trace centrepoint X in pencil onto the window frame (Fig.2).
B.
Use brackets "A" and hinge "D" (Fig.3).
C.
Apply the template onto the window frame (fixed part),
taking care to ensure that the axis of the template
coincides with centrepoint X traced earlier (Fig.4).
Attention: for non coplanar window frames, cut the grey
part of the template along the red line and apply onto the
mobile part of the window frame, taking care to keep it in
the same reference position for the X axis.
D.
Bore the window frame at the points indicated on the
template (Fig.5).
E.
Apply the brackets (A) to the window frame using flat head
screws as indicated above. Check both horizontal and
vertical alignment of brackets.
F.
Assemble the hinge for top hung windows (D) onto the
