Pella Casement Windows Binding/Sagging

Most of my Pella casement windows have sagged and bind to some degree. Some have sagged so much that we've broken the operator mechanisms in forcing them closed. Is there any way to adjust Pella casement windows to alleviate the binding/sagging. Thks...

My first question to you is, are your casement windows in a bow or bay window? If so, the wood box of the bow or bay could have sagged over time. It should be possible to add some support on the bottom to hold up the window. A new bow or bay window has a cable support system that is used to adjust the window with a wrench on the bottom of the window. If your casement windows are single units, you might be able to move the hinges to square up the window. The trouble with a casement window is that they can sag overtime, especially if the windows are over sized.
