Adjustment Instructions For Sash Drag:
Remove Screen
Open the window
Slip the adjustment wrench onto the base of the stud, found between the support arm and the track of the lower hinge.
Rotating the wrench away from the lock side of the window will decrease the amount of sash drag. The maximum sash drag adjustment is reached when the stud flats are parallel to the track.
For severe sash drag, a similar procedure can be used on the upper hinge.
Upper hinge adjustment is made by rotating the wrench toward the lock side of the window. Maximum adjustment is obtained when the stud flats are parallel to the track.
Close and open window to check for proper adjustment.
NOTE:
Turning the stud flats beyond parallel will not increase sash drag correction. maximum adjustment may cause binding as the window is closed. Please use caution. Use Proper PPE (gloves safety glasses) when preforming repair and maintenance tasks. If you feel you are not able to preform repair and maintenance tasks contact a local window service technician in your area.
ADJUSTMENTS MADE SIMPLE: Truth also has a hinge model that helps make field adjustments to your windows to help reduce sash drag!Truth’s Adjusta-Hinge with its easy to use adjustable stud.  Truth’s Adjusta-Hinge enables the manufacturer, or window installer, to quickly and precisely re-align the sash within the window frame without ever having to disconnect the support arms. Assembled with its specially designed stud in a centered position, the Adjusta-Hinge can be moved a full .062” (1.5mm) of an inch towards the outside of the sash, and .031” (0.8mm) towards the jamb.  To obtain the full .062” (1.5mm) adjustment towards the jamb, the hinge must be mounted at least .031” (0.8mm) away from the jamb.  Adjustments can be easily made while the hinge is fully assembled with the simple twist of Truth’s slim-line Wrench.
