Note: When panels are installed from left to right, electric seamer operates from ridge to eave.
CAUTION
Do not run the seamer off the end of the panel. If the seamer is run off the end of the roof it
could cause injury to personnel and damage the roof or the seamer (see seamer instructions
enclosed in the case for additional information about the proper handling of the seamer).

SEAMING PANELS
(CONT.)
Steps:
1. To start seaming, first hand crimp 8” of seam at eave, endlap, and ridge locations only.
DO NOT hand crimp at clip locations.
2. Position mechanical seamer over hand crimped roof seam at ridge location so that the levers are on the same side of the
seam that is to be crimped by the mechanical seamer.
3. Engage roller levers in the following order: #1, #2, #3, #4, and then the precrimp roller lever. Precrimp lever may need to
be held down to avoid scratching of panel.
4. Prior to running seamer, check to make sure that Magna-Loc panels are fully engaged along the entire run of the panel.
Small c-clamps may be required on the horizontal portion of the seam to hold panel seam engaged while seaming.
5. Turn on the power to seamer and walk with the seamer as it seams the panel. Stop the seamer in the first few feet to
ensure proper seam is being achieved. Turn the mechanical seamer off before the hand crimped endlap or eave portion
of
the panel. If Magna-Loc roof panels have been endlaped, mechanical seamer must be stopped, moved, and restarted
over
the hand crimped area of the endlap. Remaining seam between hand crimped portion and mechanically seamed
portion may
have to be hand crimped for continuous tight seam.
6. At the end of the first run, remove mechanical seamer and return to step #1 for remaining panels.
7. At completion of seaming, repack tool and return to Seamer Tools, Inc. 8265 Highway 178, Olive Branch, MS 38654.
