Handling Material
CAUTION
Improper loading and unloading of bundles and
crates may result in bodily harm and/or
material damage. Metal Sales is not responsible for
bodily injuries and/or material
damages resulting from improper
loading and unloading.
General Handling
Each bundle should be handled carefully to avoid
being damaged. Care should be taken to prevent
bending of the panel or scratching the finish. When-
ever possible, the bundle should remain crated until
it is located in its place of storage. If bundles must
be opened, we recommend you recrate them before
lifting. To avoid damage please lift the bundle at its
center of gravity.
Delivery & Storage
•
Always check the shipment upon delivery. Check
for damage and check material quantities against
the shipping list. Note any damaged material or
shortages at the time of delivery and notify your
supplier within 24 hours.
•
Store the panels and other materials in a dry, well-
ventilated area away from traffic. Elevate one end
of the bundle, maximum 2', so that any moisture
that may have accumulated during shipping can
run off. Be sure that air will be able to circulate
freely around the bundles to avoid the build-up of
moisture. Never store materials in direct contact
with the ground.
•
Some products may have a peel off plastic film
over the painted surface. This film was factory
applied to prevent damage to the finish that
may occur during manufacturing or shipping. If
this film is present, avoid exposure of the “peel-
coated” parts to sunlight and remove the “peel-
coat” prior to installation.
•
Do not slide panels or accessories across one
another.
