77 Series Single Coil Spring Balance Assembly Instructions:

NOTE: Please be sure that the sash is removed from the window before beginning installation.


Step 1:

Place the end of the coil spring into the slot on the right side of the pivot lock shoe (can also be used on the left side depending on your application).

 

Step 2:

Turn the coil spring to the right to lock the spring in place.


Step 3:

Place the cover between the pivot lock shoe and the coil spring, the coil spring itself should hold the cover in place.

Step 4:

Now that the coil spring balance is fully assembled, slide it into the window jamb and let it fall to the bottom (with cover facing outward, coil spring should not show from front).


Step 5:

Put the screw through the hole on the front of the balance cover, and reinstall the balance where the original hole was screwed into the jamb.


Step 6:

Get a flat head screwdriver, insert into metal cam and pull down 6 to 8 inches, then turn the metal cam to lock. Repeat steps 1-6 for both balances on both sides of the window before reinstalling the sash. 


Step 7:

Hold the sash at an angle towards you, maneuver the left and right sides one at a time to get the pivot bars back into the cam of the pivot lock shoe. Make sure that the sash is level before tilting inward and snapping the sash back into place, then gently lower and close the sash.


Step 8:

Carefully test your balances by slowly lowering and raising the sash a few times to make sure it has smooth function and then lock your sash.
