through sleeves attached to the mullion halves.
Inspect frames prior to hoisting. For illustration purposes only, a spreader bar is shown as a hoisting
device. Other lifting devices can be used. Means & methods are the sole responsibility of the
installler. The spreader bar chains should be spaced the same distance as the distance between
hoisting holes in head horizontal or hoisting holes on sleeves. Maximum frame weight to be less than
1500 pounds.
Handle frame to hoist smoothly and in a controlled manner, no swinging or spinning allowed during
