If the pin is oval, then deployed vertically, it will give the smaller clamp if horizontally - denser.

Round pin with a hole for hexagon rotates eccentric. Tight clamping is called winter modeAnd the weak - yearsBecause it leaves subtle gaps through which fresh air can penetrate. We arm hexagon 4 or pliers and set the pins in the desired position. So ruled gapping sealant.

Step 2. Adjusting the sagging folds. If you see on the bottom of the frame and scrapes feel like skrebot leaf on the frame when closed, locate the top and bottom loop, screwdriver, pry and remove the decorative caps and tighten up hexagon socket screws, which are responsible for height sash.

Step 3. If the flap clings not at the bottom of the frame and over the side stand, you need to adjust the horizontal position of the screws.
