If the brighter cell is between the numbered temperature cells,
position the panel between the corresponding temperature
indicator lines.
Example:
If the PanelThermometer reads 65,
align the second panel to the 65 temperature indicator line on
the first panel. If the cell between the 65 and 100 is brighter,
position the panel between the 65 and 100 temperature
indicator lines.
First course
Strike a level line around the house and install Restoration
Shapes Starter. If you plan to use Restoration Shapes Mitered
Cornerpost, make sure the starter strip is installed to the edge
of the corner. An alternative method of starting Rough-Split
Shakes is to use J-channel in place of starter strip to receive
the bottom edge of the panel.
Create a straight edge on the right side of the panel by cutting
the top two shingles so they are flush with the bottom shingle.
Cut 2" off the top course of the panel at indicator “A,”
which is located above the nail slots.
Starting on the right side of the wall, hook the bottom locking
leg of the panel into the starter strip and slide the panel into
the cornerpost or receiving channel. Leave 1/4" space
between the panel and the corner for expansion.
If you are
planning to install the Mitered Cornerpost, space the panel
3" from the corner.
Fasten the panel to the wall by first nailing through the round
center hole in the nailing hem at the top of the panel. Continue
nailing the D9 panel with 5 nails: one in the right-end nail slot
and one at each of the QuickReference™ Nail Mark Indicators.
Leave 1/8" to 1/16" between the nail heads and the panel to
allow freedom of movement during normal expansion and
contraction.
Install the next panel by positioning it below the starter strip
and next to the first panel. Push in and up to lock the panel
into the starter strip and the side tabs of the first panel. Space
the second panel according to the panel temperature at the
corresponding temperature indicator lines.
Nail the panel into position starting with the round center hole
and then placing the next nail in the right-end nail slot (which
overlaps the previous panel’s left-end slot) so that the nail
goes through both panels’ nail slots simultaneously. Continue
nailing the rest of the panel.
Continue to install the remaining panels of first course as
described earlier.
