Troubleshooting
Sash lift feels loose after installation.
Check that the screws are fully tightened. Ensure the mounting surface on the window frame is solid and not damaged. If necessary, use slightly longer screws appropriate for your window material, ensuring they do not interfere with window operation.
Difficulty operating the sash window.
The sash lift itself is unlikely to be the cause of window operation issues. Check the window tracks for dirt or obstructions, and ensure the sash cords or balances are functioning correctly. The sash lift provides grip; underlying window mechanics need to be sound.
Finish appears to be tarnishing or discolouring.
While the electrophoretic lacquer is designed for durability, prolonged exposure to harsh environmental conditions or chemical contact can affect it. Clean the affected area gently with a soft cloth and mild soap. Ensure no harsh chemicals are used near the sash lift.
