Before opening, ensure crate is stable and tilted at least 5 degrees to prevent glass from falling out. To open, cut any bands first and pry off boards on front of crate. Before removing glass, check crate and remove protruding nails or screws that could scratch glass. Wear appropriate personal protective equipment (safety glasses, gloves, safety shoes and skin protection). Tempered Glass is very heavy and can shatter while handling. Use two or more people to handle glass. Handle carefully. A scratched surface, damaged surface, or edge impact can cause the glass to shatter suddenly into sharp pieces. Antes de abrir, asegúrese de que la caja esté estable e inclinada al menos por 5 grados para evitar que el vidrio se salga de la caja. Para abrir, corte primero las bandas de embalaje y luego separe las tablas del frente de la caja. Antes de retirar el vidrio, chequee la caja y quite los clavos o tornillos salientes que puedan rayar el vidrio. Use el equipo apropiado de protección personal (gafas de seguridad, guantes, zapatos de seguridad y protección para la piel). El vidrio templado es muy pesado y se puede romper durante su manipulación. Use dos o más personas para manipular el vidrio. Manéjelo con cuidado. Una superficie rayada o dañada, o el impacto sobre el borde pueden causar que el vidrio se rompa de repente en trozos afilados. Avant d'ouvrir, assurez-vous que la caisse à claire-voie est stable et inclinée d'au moins 5 degrés pour éviter que la vitre bascule hors de la caisse. Pour ouvrir, coupez d'abord les bandes d'emballage, puis écartez les bords sur le devant de la caisse. Avant de retirer la vitre, vérifiez la caisse et enlevez les clous ou les vis qui pourraient dépasser et qui pourraient égratigner la vitre. Portez de l'équipement de protection individuelle approprié (lunettes de sécurité, gants, chaussures de sécurité et vêtements de protection). Le verre trempé est très lourd et peut se briser en éclats lorsqu'on le manipule. Au moins deux personnes sont nécessaires pour manipuler la vitre. Manipulez avec soin. Une surface égratignée ou endommagée ou encore un choc sur le rebord peut faire en sorte que le verre se brise soudainement en éclats tranchants. Page 1 of 12

2 1 SUPPORT BRACKET 1/4-20 x 3/4" FLAT HEAD THREAD FORMING HEX CAP SCREW (BLUE SCREW SUPPLIED) 1. Mount a support bracket at each end of the horizontal beam using four (4) 1/4-20 x 3/4" flat head thread forming hex cap screws (blue color screws) installed into the holes on the beam. If the holes are not on the beam, go to page 6. If the glass is longer than 72", go to page Place a grommet on each post at the location shown. The bottom edge of the glass will rest on the grommets when assembled. 2 GROMMET Page 2 of 12

3 GLASS 3b 3. Place glass inside each support bracket and rest the glass on the grommets (3a). Center the glass between the posts to which it s supported (3b). 4. Place a pressure plate inside the space between the support bracket and the glass in four (4) locations. Locate each pressure plate as shown. Plates manufactured after December, 2015 will be stamped THIS SIDE AWAY FROM GLASS. 3a EQUAL ON BOTH ENDS POST TIP: If adjacent pieces of glass are not sufficiently vertically aligned, shim below the lower of the two pieces prior to tightening pressure plate bolts. 5. Install all four (4) bolts until they contact the pressure plate on the outside of each support bracket (5a). The amount of threads shown on the bolts should be the same (5b). The glass should be vertical and firmly resist deflection with a light 2 to 3 pound lateral load on the face of the glass.

4 6 6. Verify that the glass is vertical and laterally centered per step 3b. 7. Tighten the top bolts on each support bracket 1/2 turn. 8. At this point the glass should be vertical and aligned top and bottom to adjacent glass. 9. Torque all screws 1 to 2 turns, confirming that the glass remains vertical Install the skins to the frame. 11. Install the top trim with plastic junction caps & trim aligners (See pages 7 through 11). 10 Page 4 of 12

5 Adjusting Top Trim To Level 1 1. The top surface of the top trims should be level within 1/64". If not, verify that the horizontal beam is fully installed. 2a 2. The top trim can be raised (2a) or lowered (2b) by bending the loop / leg on the pressure plate up or down to level the top trim. 2" x 4" x 8" LONG WOOD BLOCK 3. Verify that the top trim aligns with the plastic end piece that is inserted into it. If not, go to next step. 4. The light seal on skin locates the top trim. If needed, the top cap can be removed to allow bending in or out to align. HORIZONTAL BEAM 2b PUTTY KNIFE PRESSURE PLATE (manufactured before December, 2015) 2b 4 2a LIGHT SEAL Page 5 of 12

6 1-1/4" 1a 1b Mounting Support Bracket to Older Horizontal Beam NOTE: The holes for mounting the support bracket may not be pre-drilled on the older horizontal beams. When this occurs, use the support bracket as a template to locate the hole locations and follow steps below to drill mounting holes. 1. Place the support bracket onto the top horizontal beam 1-1/4" from the side of the vertical upright (1a). Using the support bracket as a template, mark the hole locations as shown (1b). NOTE: The 1-1/4" dimension can vary 1" without affecting the integrity of the mount Use a 1/16" diameter drill bit to center the hole locations, then use a 3/16" diameter drill bit to complete the hole mounting locations. Mounting Glass 72 Inches and Longer If the glass is 72 inches or longer, a third support bracket is required. Two (2) support brackets need to be mounted on the longest horizontal beam and the third support bracket at the end of the adjoining horizontal beam. At least one grommet should be installed to the inboard junction post (see step 2 on page 2). * When using a 72" glass kit on a 72" horizontal beam, place the third support bracket in the center of the beam. The holes are not pre-drilled. Add holes as described in step 1b and 2 above. * THIRD SUPPORT BRACKET WHEN USING A 72" GLASS KIT ON A 72" HORIZONTAL BEAM MAXIMUM HORIZONTAL BEAM LENGTH = 72" THIRD SUPPORT BRACKET Page 6 of 12
