SAFETY
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
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 any part of a roof panel until the panel has been completely 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
approved Metal Sales' erection drawings, the approved erection drawings are to take precedence.
Prior to ordering and installing materials, all dimensions should be verified by field measurements.
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).
Metal Sales reserves the right to modify, without notice, any details, recommendations or suggestions. Any questions
you may have regarding proper installation of the Magna-Loc roofing system should be directed to your Metal Sales
representative, (see pages 2 and 3).
Consult Metal Sales for any additional information not outlined in this manual.
This manual is designed to be utilized as a guide when installing Magna-Loc roofing system.
