Installation/Replacement Instructions

Tools You’ll Need:

• Flathead screwdriver
  
  

• Needle-nose pliers (optional)
  
  

• Replacement Truth Standard Detach Clip/Bracket
  
  

• Safety gloves
  
  

1. Open the Window:
   Crank open the casement or awning window to expose the operator arm and sash linkage. This gives you access to the connection point.
   
   

2. Locate the Existing Clip/Bracket:
   Find where the operator arm connects to the sash track or linkage. The detach clip holds this joint in place.
   
   

3. Remove the Old Clip (if replacing):
   Use a flathead screwdriver to gently pry up the old clip from its notch. If it’s rusted or tight, a light wiggle with pliers helps loosen it.
   
   

4. Align the New Clip:
   Slide the new Truth Detach Clip/Bracket into the slot on the sash arm or bracket so that the open end faces the pivot point of the operator arm.
   
   

5. Secure the Connection:
   Push the clip down firmly until it clicks or locks into place. The operator arm should now move smoothly when you crank the handle.
   
   

6. Test the Window:
   Open and close the window several times to ensure the motion is smooth and the clip stays seated. Adjust if necessary.
   
   

7. Final Check:
   Make sure there’s no excess play between the arm and sash. Tight connections mean better performance and longevity.

Maintenance Tips

• Lubricate annually with a window lubricant to prevent friction.
  
  

• Inspect the clip during seasonal cleaning for rust or wear.
  
  

• Replace immediately if the clip bends, cracks, or detaches — early maintenance prevents costly operator damage.
