GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
In preparing for multiple section installations, it is recom-
mended that a floor plan with elevations be available at the
job site. It is further recommended that the floor be marked
to indicate where the rows will be and where the aisles will
be so that the distributed material can be stacked for
minimal interference. This will also show where obstruc-
tions will occur. The sections may then be erected along
the lines so that once the row is in place, the bracing bolts
can be tightened and each section will remain square.
Rough or uneven floors should be compensated with
shims. It is required that sections not be out of plum more
than
1" in ten feet or more of height
.
