Any exposed wood and flashing tape on the exterior needs to be

covered/protected. There are many ways to accomplish this, and

each case can be unique.

A few possibilities include:
a) Covering the existing trim with aluminum coil wrap/

frame expander.

b) Sanding, priming and painting to match existing trim.
c) Covering the exposed wood with a high quality exterior

grade sealant.
Note: The contractor/installer will determine how to finish

the exterior.

INSTALLING ROTO COVER AND CRANK

A. Place the cover over the operator stud and snap

into place.

B. Apply pressure to the pocket end of the cover and

snap into place.

C. Use a medium size flat-blade screwdriver to

loosen the set screw in the crank handle.

D. Slide the crank handle onto the stud. Unlock,

open window, then close and lock window.

E. Fold the crank handle down and check

alignment of knob with the pocket.
Note: You may need to adjust the crank

position on the stud until the correct alignment

is achieved.

F. Open the crank and tighten the set screw.

and snap the knob into the pocket.
Note: Even with the window open the crank

can be folded to avoid interfering with the

window treatments.

C. Begin the sill sealant bead 1/2" from one jamb, running it across the sill and stopping

1/2" from the opposite jamb. This 1/2" sealant gap on each side of the sill allows for

incidental water drainage.

D. Shape, tool, and clean excess sealant. When finished, the sealant should be the shape

of an hourglass.
Note: This method creates a more flexible sealant line capable of expanding and

contracting.
