Please see below for more information:
SILICONE
LUBRICANT SPRAY
You may use silicone lubricant spray on the frame in order to help
you slide the panels into the profiles. Do not spray the panels.
Use a rubber mallet if necessary.
Make sure you remove covering plastic film from both sides
of the panel.
All panels with the stamped words “THIS SIDE OUT” must be
facing out to create full UV protection. Remove plastic sticker
as panels are locked in place.
Extension Kit
Steps marked with dashed outlines refer to Extensions only.
Some of the steps are irrelevant for an assembly of a single product.
When assembling a single or an extended product,
some parts may be surplus.
These 2 icons below indicate if screw's tightening is required or not.
Temporary tightening of a few screws may be needed to
prevent a profile from sliding out.
Tighten all screws once assembly is completed.
