We recommend that all Glasdon Buildings are permanently sited and fixed down to a prepared
concrete base at the time of delivery using the fixing bolts supplied.

Installation guidelines are contained in Chapter 3.  To ensure satisfactory operation of door locks
after installation, it is very important to keep door frames square and level during base fixing. 

If a panel form delivery option has been arranged for assembly by yourselves following agreement
with our Sales and Technical Department, you will find a comprehensive instruction booklet enclosed
with this manual.

If your Building has been manufactured to a customised design there should also be a CAD drawing
of the layout enclosed for your reference.

If your Building has been fitted with sanitaryware such as wash hand basins, sinks, WC’s and water
heaters, you may have opted for the relevant pipework and fittings to be pre-installed at our factory
rather than making your own arrangements with a local plumber.  The final site connection to the
water supply and waste system should always be arranged locally by yourselves and all pre-installed
pipework and fittings thoroughly checked on site before use.

When external shelves and canopies are supplied it may not always be possible to fit these items at
our factory because of delivery width restrictions.  In such cases the items will be supplied loose
within the Building ready for simple site fitting by yourselves using the instruction sheet enclosed.

In the event that installation of your Glasdon Building does not take place at the time of delivery,
suitable temporary storage arrangements must be made by yourselves to prevent damage being
sustained either by adverse weather conditions or other influences.

Glasdon Manufacturing Limited cannot accept responsibility for:
1.

Damage to Glasdon Buildings which are not permanently sited and installed at the time 
of delivery.

2.

Damage caused by insecure storage or careless handling.

3.

Re-delivery costs due to failure to install immediately or provide adequate storage.

For Buildings which are fitted with an electrical installation we usually issue the original factory test
certificate separately by post to your correspondence address.  You will also find a copy of the
certificate enclosed with this manual.

General technical information and individual operating instructions are enclosed for your future
reference for the electrical components fitted within your Building, e.g. consumer units, electrical fan
convector heaters and lighting.

The final site connection to the electric mains supply, along with the earthing of any fitted
sanitaryware and pipework etc, should be arranged locally by yourselves.

We recommend that all electrical installations are inspected annually by a suitably qualified and
competent person.
