Maintenance Data: For each impact-resistant wall protection system component to include maintenance manuals specified in Division Include recommended methods and frequency for maintaining optimum condition of vinyl plastic covers under anticipated traffic and use conditions. Include precautions against using cleaning materials and methods that may be detrimental to vinyl plastic finishes and performance. 1.6 PRODUCT HANDLING A. Comply with pertinent provisions of Section ʻProduct Handlingʼ. Store wall surface-protection materials in original undamaged packages and containers inside a well-ventilated area protected from weather, moisture, soiling, extreme temperatures, and humidity. 1. Maintain room temperature within the storage area at not less than 70 deg F (21 deg C) during the period plastic materials are stored. Keep sheet material out of direct sunlight to avoid surface distortion. 2. Store rigid plastic corner-guard covers in a vertical position, and rigid plastic wall guard and handrail covers in a horizontal position for a minimum of 72 hours, or until the plastic material attains the minimum room temperature of 70 deg F (21 deg C). 1.7 PROJECT CONDITIONS 06/29/

3 A. Environmental Limitations: Do not install wall surface-protection system components until the space is enclosed and weatherproof and ambient temperature within the building is maintained at not less than 70 deg F (21 deg C) for not less than 72 hours before beginning installation. Do not install rigid plastic wall surface- protection systems until that temperature has been attained and is stabilized. 1.8 EXTRA MATERIALS A. Furnish extra materials described below, before installation begins, that match products installed and that are packaged with protective covering for storage and identified with labels describing contents. 1. Impact-Resistant Wall Protection System Units: Full-size units of maximum length, including vinyl plastic cover and aluminum retainer, equal to 2 percent of each type, color, and texture of each type of unit installed, but not less than two units.
