The seamer comes in a specially designed box accompanied by a field manual, a hand seaming tool, and a grease gun. READ THE SEAMER MANUAL THOROUGHLY BEFORE STARTING THE SEAMING OPERATION. FAILURE TO ADHERE TO THESE INSTRUCTIONS MAY RESULT IN PERSONAL INJURY AND DAMAGE TO THE SEAMER AND/OR PANELS. THE ERECTOR WILL BE HELD LIABLE FOR ANY COSTS INCURRED FOR REPLACEMENT OR REPAIR.

PRE-SEAMING INFORMATION
1 .Locate seamer box. Assemble hand seaming tool.
2. Locate power source and check against power requirements in field manual.
3. Check seams for proper engagement.
4. Clean dirt, debris and excess sealant from seams and panel surfaces to avoid interfering with the seaming operation.

SEAMING OPERATION
