Important Notice
Be sure to read this manual in its entirety before beginning installation.
This manual is provided to the customers of ASC Building Products as a guide to assist in the installation of Klondike Siding panels . Use for any other purpose is prohibited . This manual remains the property of ASC Building Products .
These instructions contain suggested application procedures only and cannot replace the need for good common sense and experience . Responsibility for conformance to state and local building codes, as well as any other applicable project requirements rests with the installer, as does the responsibility to observe reasonable safety procedures .
ASC Building Products assumes no responsibility for any problems which might arise as a result of improper
installation or any personal injury or property damage that may occur with the product’s use .
Delivery, Handling and Storage

Always check the shipment upon delivery.
Check for damage and check material quantities against the shipping list . Note any damaged material or shortages at the time of delivery .

Store the panels and other materials in a dry, well ventilated area and away from traffic. Elevate one end of the bundle so that any moisture that may have accumulated during shipping can run off . Be sure that
air will be able to circulate freely around the bundles to avoid the build-up of moisture . Never store materials in direct contact with the ground .

Wear clean gloves when handling unpainted ZINCALUME®-coated panels or flashings to avoid discoloration. Rollforming die marks (which appear black), particularly at bends, will be visible .

Safety Considerations
Always wear proper clothing and safety attire.
Wear proper clothing when working with sheet metal in order to minimize the potential for cuts, abrasions, and other injuries . ASC Building Products recommends safety glasses and cut-resistant gloves and sleeves .

Use care when operating electrical and other power equipment.
Observe all manufacturer’s safety recommendations

Screw Gun:
Clutch type screw gun with depth locating nose piece

Minimum Recommended Tools & Equipment

allowing variable torque settings is recommended to ensure proper installation of the screws .

Snips:
For miscellaneous panel and flashing cutting requirements, three pairs of snips will be required for left edge, right edge, and centerline cuts .
Electrical Metal Shears:
Used for general metal cutting .

Chalk Line:
Used to assist in the alignment of panels, flashings, etc .
Caulk:
Butyl or urethane sealant used to inhibit water infiltration .
Caulking Gun:
For miscellaneous caulking and sealing to inhibit water infiltration .
Blind Rivet Hand Tool:
Used for miscellaneous flashing and trim applications .
Marking Tools:
Indelible markers, pencils, or scratching tools .
Scratch Awl:

Used to mark the steel .
Utility Knife:
Used for miscellaneous cutting .

Electric Drill:

Note:
Some erectors prefer to use circular power saws with metal cutting or abrasive blades. While the use of power saws may be faster, there are some disadvantages that must be considered:
The edges of metal that have been saw cut are jagged, unsightly and are more likely to rust than sheared edges.
Saw cutting will leave small particles of metal on the panel surface that will rust and damage the panel fin- ish if not completely removed.

Used to drill holes such as those required for rivet installation .

String Line:
Used for general alignment and measuring .

Tape Measure:
25 foot minimum .

Locking Pliers:
Standard and “Duckbill” style for miscellaneous clamping and bending of parts .

Powered Stapler:
To temporarily attach flashings prior to installing panel/ trim screws .

Notes
The table above shows the Klondike Siding panel fasteners provided by ASC Building Products. Refer to the panel installation, flashing details, and fastener placement pages of this manual for specific fastener usage. See page 5 for fas- tener spacing.
Panel attachment screws must be long enough to penetrate through the roof decking at least 3/8”, or penetrate solid lumber at least one inch.
All screws must be coated to provide protection against corrosion.
Exposed fasteners should have sealing washers and be the same color as the parts they attach.
Screws must be properly driven to ensure proper seal and holding strength. Do not under drive or overdrive the screws. Recommended drill speed is 2000 rpm. Use of a depth-sensing nosepiece will aid in properly driving screws.
