Installation of the 17-026 Bracket and adjustment of the balance is similar to what is shown in the following:
The only difference for you is installing the brackets on the side of the sash, not underneath as shown in the instructional guide.
The 17-026, 32 Bracket can be used for both left and right sides of the sash. You are correct, the notches on the bottom are to hold the Series 400 Balance in tension. |

Do you feel tension when you turn the spiral? SWISCO's American made balances gather strength clockwise. If you have balances from another company, they may be foreign made and turn counter clockwise. The brackets are non-handed and the bottom tab of the balance will just hook into the clip to keep it from unwinding. If you turn the spiral of the balance and it keeps spinning without building tension the balance needs to be replaced. Take care not to over-tension the spiral because the balance could burst.
