INSTALLATION GUIDELINES

1. Pre-Order

   1. Prior to ordering panels, all dimensions should be confirmed by field measurement.

2. Job Site Storage and Handling

   1. Check the shipment against the shipping list.

   2. Damaged material must be noted on bill of lading.

   3. Panels should be handled carefully. A spreader bar of appropriate length is recommended for hoisting.

   4. Check to see that moisture has not formed inside the bundles during shipment. If moisture is present, panels should be wiped dry, then restacked and loosely covered so that air can circulate between the panels.

3. Application Checklist

   1. Check substructure for proper alignment and uniformity to avoid panel distortion.

   2. Periodic check of panel alignment is crucial to proper panel installation.

   3. For proper appearance, ribs should line up at hips, valleys and ridges.

   4. Panels should be cut on ground to minimize cut filings on roof. Keep panels clean during installation. Do not allow panels to come into contact with water runoff from lead, copper or graphite.
