14. Cleaning: Most normal dirt & dust accumulation is washed off by periodic rains. Regular hosing of the panels with clean lukewarm
water is sufficient in dry areas.
In polluted, oily environments, mild household detergent may be used, assisted by a soft rag or soft-bristled brush. Never use
aggressive or abrasive cleaning agents or glass window cleaners. They may scratch or chemically attack the panel. Large
areas can be washed by high-pressure water-jet, optionally, in conjunction with diluted detergent. Dry with soft cotton
rags to avoid spotting.
15. Repair: Minor damages to the panel may be repaired. Small punctures can be stopped by dabs of approved silicone sealant.
Larger tears may be patched by pieces of matching panel, bonded & sealed on top of the tear with compatible structural silicone.
16. Study and Preparation: Prior to actual installation study the SunSky Installation Guide carefully. Make sure all the instructions are
understood and all required materials, accessories and tools are available.
17. Information: Please contact Palram or its distributor regarding any applications, requests and inquiries you may have before
starting installation.
18. Accessories Information & Supply:
Palram Americas and its distributors will assist, advise and supply, upon request, various additional accessories that may be required
for appropriate installation, such as butyl-rubber or expanding sealing tape, special fasteners and washer / gaskets, etc.
