SAFETY

STUDY APPLICABLE OSHA AND OTHER SAFETY REQUIREMENTS BEFORE

FOLLOWING THESE INSTRUCTIONS.

The installation of metal roof systems is a dangerous procedure and should be supervised by trained

knowledgeable erectors. USE EXTREME CARE WHILE INSTALLING ROOF PANELS. It is not possible

for Metal Sales to be aware of all the possible job site situations that could cause an unsafe condition

to exist. The erector of the roof system is responsible for reading these instructions and determining

the safest way to install the roof system.

These instructions are provided only as a guide to show a knowledgeable, trained erector the correct

parts placement one to another. If following any of the installation steps would endanger a worker, the

erector should stop work and decide upon a corrective action.

Provide required safety railing, netting, or safety lines for crew members working on

the roof.

Do not use the roof panel as a walking platform. The roof panels will not withstand the weight of a

person standing at the edge of the panel.

Do not stand on the roof panel at the ends until the panels have been attached.

The application and detail drawings in this manual are strictly for illustration purposes and may not be applicable to all

building designs or product installations. All projects should conform to applicable building codes for that particular area. It

is recommended to follow all building regulations and standard industry practices.

Metal Sales Manufacturing Corporation is not responsible for the performance of the roof system if it is not installed in

accordance with the suggested instructions referenced in this manual. If there is a conflict between this manual and the Metal

Sales approved erection drawings, the approved erection drawings are to take precedence.

Prior to ordering and installing materials, all dimensions should be verified by field measurements.

Metal Sales reserves the right to modify, without notice, any details, recommendations, or suggestions. Any questions

you may have regarding proper installation of the Seam-Loc 24 roofing system should be directed to your Metal Sales

representative, (see pages 2 and 3).

Oil canning is not a cause for rejection. Oil canning can be described as the amount of waviness found in the flat areas of metal

panels. Oil canning is an inherent characteristic of light gauge cold formed metal products, particularly those with broad flat

areas. There are many factors which may contribute to oil canning that Metal Sales is not able to control. These factors

include: misalignment of the support system, over driving of fasteners used on the panels, stress (whether inherent in the panel or

induced), thermal expansion and contraction of the panel, material handling, width, gauge, length, color of panels, and installation

(Reference Metal Construction Association “Oil Canning Position Paper” - Appendix A).

Exposure of metal roof and wall materials to areas subject to corrosive, harmful and aggressive environment condition but not

limited to salt water regions, marine atmosphere, repeated salt spray, corrosive chemical, ash, fumes, chemical dust, corrosive

vapors, animal waste, confinement, run off from non-compatible metal, can cause premature rusting and other failure of metal

materials (including panels and trims) and therefore is not a cause for claim or rejection.

Consult Metal Sales representative for any additional information not outlined in this manual (see pages 2-3).

This manual is designed to be utilized as a guide when installing Seam-Loc 24 roofing system. It is the responsibility of the

erector to ensure the safe installation of this product system.
