Hello! I'm sorry to hear that you're having trouble. I'll do my best to advise how the 39-070 operator is meant to work with the 39-170 bracket.

After you install the 39-070 operator and the two 39-170 brackets to your window, follow these 3 steps:

  1. Unlock the bracket opening on operator using the metal latch beside the slots.
  2. Open the operator arms wide enough so that the cross-arm aligns with the bracket, then insert the bracket prongs into the slots.
  3. Lock the bracket by flipping the metal latch the other way.

I just recieved 39-070 lever lock operator from swisco, truth part 3008. Your catalog recommended the 39-170 sash bracket with the number '2008' stamped in it. I cannot see how it will work for this lever-lock, and I don't see another bracket in the catalog that looks like it will.

Big problem for me. Please advise immediately.

Thanks

Thanks for the quick response. I didn't realize that operator needs two brackets.
So I need two more of the 39-170 brackets.
