HS Seaming Information

The seamer and the hand crimper are shipped in individual specially designed boxes accompanied by a field man-
ual.

instructions will result in damage to the seamer and/or panels. The erector will be held liable for any costs
incurred for replacement or repair.

2. Locate power source and check against power requirements in field manual.
3. Check seams for proper engagement.
