Part 3 - Execution

3.01 Erection

1. Because of the large dimensions involved and the weight and movement of the panels, verify the structural integrity of the header such that the maximum deflection with the live load is limited to be the lesser of l/720 of the span and 1/4”. Similar structural support is needed for the stacking bay(s) and any upper track leading to it.
2. Examine surfaces of openings and verify dimensions; verify rough openings are level, plumb, and square, with no unevenness, bowing, or bumps on floor.
3. Installation of units constitutes acceptance of existing conditions.

3.02 Installation

1. Install frame in accordance with manufacturer’s recommendations and installation instructions. Properly flash and waterproof around the perimeter of the opening.
2. Installer to provide anchorage devices and to securely and rigidly fit frame in place, absolutely level, straight, plumb and square. Install frame in proper elevation, plane and location, and in proper alignment with other work.
3. If necessary, provide drain connections from lower track.
4. Install panels, handles and lock set in accordance with manufacturer’s recommendations and installation instructions.
5. If necessary, adjust hardware for proper operation.
