Troubleshooting

Window does not open or close fully.

Verify that the operator is compatible with your window model and year. Ensure the split arm is correctly attached to the window sash. Check for any physical obstructions preventing full movement.

Screws do not seem to fit or secure the operator.

Confirm you are using the screws provided with the operator. Ensure you are using the correct screw holes as indicated by the operator's mounting points. Do not force screws; if they do not thread easily, re-align the operator.

Operator arm appears to be disconnected or loose.

Re-attach the split arm to the main operator body and the window sash mechanism according to the installation instructions. Ensure all connection points are secure.
