							Installation
Simple.
•    The Gutter Cover is designed with two flexible beads that bend 
to fit up to a 14-12 pitch roof. Starting at one end of  
the gutter, slightly lift the shingles and slide the back edge of 
the Gutter Cover under the shingles, then pull the front edge 
over the lip of the gutter. The flexible back edge bends to 
match the pitch of the roof while the flexible front edge angles 
slightly forward to allow proper water flow.
Note: Before installation, bend the flexible front edge upward slightly 
at the score on the underside of the gutter cover. Make sure that the  nose of the cover is lower than the back edge 
(Fig. A).
•     For an outside or inside corner, mitre cut opposite 
ends of two adjoining pieces to form a corner joint.
Note: A splash guard may be required on outside corners, inside 
corners and where a downspout from an upper roof diverts water to  the lower roof. You can also eliminate the heavy flow of water on the roof by connecting the upper roof downspout into the lower roof gutter.
•     Capping the Gutter Cover at the end of a run is recommended, 
this will help prevent birds from nesting in the gutter  (Fig. B). 
       With a pair of snips cut the inside width of the gutter.            
       This dimension is based on the pitch of the roof. 
         Cut approximately 2 inches.       
         Notch a “V” at the bend line.  
               Bend the section down 90º to form the end cap.
