SAFETY AND HANDLING
Safety
• Read and fully understand ALL manufacturer’s instructions before
beginning. Failure to follow proper installation and nishing instructions
may result in the denial of warranty claims for operational or
performanceproblems.
• DO NOT work alone. Three or more people are required. Use safe
liftingtechniques.
• Use caution when handling glass. Broken or cracked glass can cause
serious injury.
• Wear protective gear (e.g., safety glasses, gloves, ear protection, etc.).
• Operate hand/power tools safely and follow the manufacturer’s
operatinginstructions.
• Use caution when working at elevated heights.
• If disturbing existing paint, take proper precautions if lead paint is
suspected (commonly used before 1979). Your regional EPA
(www.epa.gov/lead) or Consumer Product Safety Commission ofces
provide information regarding regulations and lead protection.
Materials and Wall System Handling
• Heed material manufacturer’s handling and application instructions.
• The support buck must remain attached until the wall system is in front
of the opening. The buck protects the sill and supports the frame corner
fasteners.
• Protect adhesive surfaces from dirt, moisture, direct sunlight and folding
over onto themselves.
• Handle in a vertical position; DO NOT drag on the oor.
• DO NOT put stress on joints, corners or frames.
• Store the wall system in a dry, leaning position to allow air circulation;
DO NOT stack horizontally.
• Ensure the storage area is dry, well-ventilated and protected from
exposure to direct sunlight.
• Only install into vertical walls when conditions and sheathing are dry.
IF INJURY OCCURS, IMMEDIATELY SEEK MEDICAL ATTENTION!
