SEAMER MANUAL
CAUTION
Seamer operation should be closely
supervised at all times.
A safety line should be attached to the
seamer.
Be aware of which direction the seamer will
move before engaging the switch.
Do not entangle the electrical cords in the
seamer tooling while it is in operation. This
could cause serious injury or death to the
operator and severely damage the seamer.
Electrical cords should be 10-gauge to provide
power to the seamer and never be over 200
feet from the electrical source.
The seamer will move approximately 6 to 8
inches after the hand switch is released.
Bring seamer to a complete stop before
changing direction.

SEAMING OPERATION
Electric Seamer
The electric seamer will run upslope and down-
slope and is controlled by a hand held forward and
reverse remote switch. The seamer will form the
seam in either direction. When the panels are
installed from right to left forward is upslope and
when panels are installed left to right forward is
downslope. An orientation plate on the seamer
indicates forward and reverse.
When the roof has
endlaps, the panels will always be installed
right to left.
The remote switch is designed to stop the seamer
when the button is released.
On lower sloped roofs walking with the seamer is
recommended.
On steep sloped roofs (6:12 and greater) a 12-
gauge extension cord (not by MBCI) may be
installed between the remote switch and the seam-
er. Seaming can then be accomplished by starting
the seamer at the eave from a safety lift. When
using this method the seam will be formed upslope
and then the seamer will be reversed down the
seam to the eave, removed, and placed on the
next seam. During panel installation hand crimp
the end of the panels 12” downslope from the ridge
or high side of the roof. Stop the seamer at this
point to prevent the seamer from running into the
flashing or running off the roof.
To begin seaming, set the seamer on the seam
with the locking arm up and to the open side of the
seam. The wheels should be even with the edge of
the panel. Push the locking arm down to engage
the tools and turn the seamer on.
