Mueller AP Panel - Manual (Page 7)

Storage:
It is recommended that sheets be kept covered
and out of the elements if at all possible. If sheets are to
be stored outside, the following precautions should be
observed:
1. The storage area should be reasonably level, and
located so as to minimize handling.
2. When stored on bare ground, place plastic ground
cover under the bundles to minimize condensation
on the sheets from ground moisture.
3. Store bundles at least 12 inches above ground level
to allow air circulation beneath the bundle, and to
prevent damage from rising water.
4. Elevate one end of each bundle slightly to permit
runoff of moisture from the top of the bundle or
from between sheets. A waterproof cover should be
placed loosely over the bundles to allow for air
circulation under the cover.
5. Inspect stored bundles daily and repair any tears
or punctures in the waterproof cover.
6. Re-cover opened bundles at the end of each work
day to prevent subsequent moisture damage.
Checking order at time of delivery:
Check each order carefully, as it is unloaded. Report any
obvious damage or shortages to the carrier immediately. If
damage or shortages are noted after delivery (at time of
unpacking) notify your Mueller representative immediately.
Have invoice numbers and detailed descriptions of the
damage or shortage available. These procedures are for
your protection. A shortage or damage discovered later
can be caused by theft, misplacement, mishandling or
other causes and is not the responsibility of Mueller, Inc.
