It is the users responsibility to verify local building code <br /> requirements. Please check with your local building code office before beginning any project. <br /> MEE <br /> If metal is not to be installed immediately, store inside in a well ventilated, dry location. Condensation or other moisture can form between the <br /> sheets during storage causing water stains or white rust which detracts from the appearance of the product and may affect the product's useful <br /> life. Trapped moisture between sheets of painted metal can cause white rust to form underneath the paint. This can cause the paint to flake <br /> off the panel immediately or several years later. To prevent white rust and staining, breakthe shipping bands on the material. Store the material <br /> on end or on an incline of at least $ " with a supporting board underneath to prevent sagging, Fan the sheets slightly at the bottom to allow for <br /> air circulation. Keep the sheets off of the ground with an insulator such as wood. Any outdoor storage is at the customer's own risk. If outdoor <br /> storage cannot be avoided, protect the metal using a canvas cover or waterproof paper. Never cover the metal with plastic as this will cause <br /> condensation to form. <br /> General Installation Information <br /> Insure that the structure is square and true before beginning panel installation. If the structure is not square, the panels will not properly seal <br /> at the side laps. Green or damp lumber is not recommended. Moisture released from the damp lumber may damage the metal panels_ Remove <br /> any loose metal shavings left on roof surface immediately to prevent corrosion, Keep roof free of debris that could trap moisture on the metal, <br /> causing corrosion, <br /> MINEEM <br /> Always wear heavy gloves when working with steel panels to avoid cuts from sharp edges. When power cutting or drilling steel panels, always <br /> wear safety glasses to prevent eye injury from flying metal fragments. If you must walk on a metal roof, take great care. Metal panels can <br /> become slippery, so always wear shoes with non -slip soles. Avoid working on metal roofs during wet conditions when the panels can become <br /> extremely slippery. Walking or standing on a metal roof which does not have a plywood or other deck beneath it is not recommended. How- <br /> ever, if you must do so, always walk on the purlins, never between. Do not, for any reason, walk on a roof made of material thinner than 29 <br /> gauge. <br /> Fastening <br /> If you wish to pre -drill fastener holes, use a cover sheet to prevent hot metal • <br /> shavings from sticking to panels. It is recommended that you cut panels upside Underdriven Overdriven Correct <br /> down using a nibbler. For best results, use double washered wood screws, minimum <br /> of 1 "long. Position screws as shown in Figure 1 below. Screws should be applied at AL <br /> ever purlin. Do not overdrive the screw as this will form a dimple which can collect <br /> water and cause leakage. Do not leave any loose screw that have missed the purlin. kftft <br /> Remove the screw and seal the hole with butyl caulking or stitch screw.
