GENERAL INFORMATION

BAND ONLY The panels are banded together, causing them to curl up. This enhances the strength of the bundles. Panels bundled in this manner may be handled by a forklift in lengths to 25'. The forklift should have at least 5' between forks. Lengths in excess of 25' must be lifted utilizing a spreader bar. Special care must be given during handling to avoid damage to the locking edges of the panels. Store bundled panels off of the ground sufficiently enough to allow air circulation beneath the bundle and to prevent rising water from entering the bundle. Elevate one end of the bundle to allow for water run-off. Prevent rain from entering bundle by covering with a tarpaulin, making provision for air circulation between the draped edges of the tarpaulin and the ground. PROLONGED STORAGE OF PANELS IN A BUNDLE IS NOT RECOMMENDED . If conditions do not permit immediate installation, extra care should be taken to protect panels from white rust or water marks. PANEL STORAGE & HANDLING Standing on one side of the panel, lift it by the seam. The longer the panel, the more personnel needed to transport. DO NOT BUCKLE THE PANEL. DO NOT PICK PANELS UP BY THE ENDS. NOTE Protective gloves and safety glasses should always be used while handling panels. OSHA safety regulations must be followed at all times.
