Step 1:
Push a shutter clip partially onto the ribs at each corner of the
shutter with the mounting tab extending beyond the shutter (4
places). See Figure 1. DO NOT press the Shutter-Clips
completely on to the shutter at this time because they will be
removed later.
Step 2
Hold the shutter against the mounting surface in the position
where it will be attached. Mark the center hole of each shutter
clip (4 places). Draw lines vertically between the top and
bottom marks. After completing Step 2, remove the Shutter-
Clips from the shutter.
Step 3:
With it's front facing the mounting surface, align the shutter
next to where it will be mounted. On the lines drawn in the
previous step, sketch marks corresponding to the
mounting areas of the shutter. See figure 3.
Step 4:
Read all of Step 4 and view Figure 4 before installing
Shutter-Clips to mounting surface. Fasten the shutter
clips centered on the vertical line and between the sketch
marks drawn in Step 3. Use one screw next to the window
and two screws in the shutter clips away from the window.
See Figure 4. These clips should be free to move with
temperature changes. The mounting bracket on the
Shutter-Clip should be placed in the upright position.
Different mounting surfaces may require special mounting
procedures or techniques.
Step 5:
After the Shutter-Clips are in position and fastened to the
mounting surface, attach the shutter. Place the shutter over
the Shutter-Clips and press the ribs of the shutter on to
each ShutterClip. Press the shutter firmly against the
mounting surface being sure all six clips engage.
