Note: Fasten panel in fastening groove as shown below for proper installation.
1. Fasten panel as required to meet local building codes with appropriate fastener (see page 23) in center
of the fastening groove and make sure not to overtighten screws. If a fastener strips out, you must
remove and reposition it so the fastener can drill a new hole at least 3 /

or install an oversized fastener in the stripped hole. Failure to do so will result in weakening the
wind resistance.
