to simplify anchor adjustments.

Once the units are set and final

Adjust the jack bolt as
required for the unit to set
hard on the shim pack at the
stack joint below. Rotate the
bolt clockwise to raise or
counterclockwise to lower
the unit.
8. Compare the jamb unit to established bench marks and move the unit side to side to position it laterally to the required location.
9. Adjust the unit for plumb, parallel to the plane of the wall, by sliding the slab anchor forward or backward until the unit is plumb. See Figure 101.
10. Rotate the serrated washers where the serrations align with the serrations in the anchor and secure the slab anchor’s anchor bolts.
11. Tighten the jack bolts of the mullion anchors just tight enough so that the shims can be removed and the unit stays in the nominal position. Remove the
shims between the sill and the starter sill that were applied in step 4.
12. Set the unit to the required elevation height and level it by turning the jack bolt at each mullion anchor clockwise to raise, or counterclockwise to lower the unit
in to the final position.
13. Match drill the slab anchors through the hook anchors on both sides of the unit, and install the pinning screws to lock the frame unit into the final position.
See Figure 102.
Once final adjustments have been
made, match drill the hook anchor
and install the pin screw to lock the
lateral position of the frame unit.
