Sash

Operation

The Axiom sash uses a deadweight-counterbalanced system. The system

consists of two separate weights on either side of the liner. Both weights are

synchronized by a locked axle-pulley system, so that both weights must move

together, preventing the sash from racking.

Adjustment

There are no adjustments for the width of the sash track. There should be

approximately 1/8-inch lateral play of the sash in its track. If there is no lateral

play, examine one or both of the corner posts to ensure that they are not bent

inward. If the sash becomes racked, or is closing unevenly, it can be aligned as

follows:

1.

Close the sash completely, until the lower edge of the sash is contacting

the sash stop. If the other end of the sash is not resting on its sash stop,

CAREFULLY lift the counterweight on the “high” side of the sash. This will

allow the high side of the sash to lower to the sash stop, leveling the

sash. See Figure 6-5.
