RECOMMENDED MAINTENANCE
OF NANAWALL PRODUCTS
Some General Considerations on all Projects:
1.
It is important that the product is properly installed.
A poorly installed unit will not function properly.
This
will cause more abnormal force or stress on the
components and will lead to premature failure.
When
operating the unit, the panels should
generally be
able to be moved easily by one person.
When moving
across joint locations of head track
transitions, there
should be no bumps, otherwise
the carriers may
prematurely wear out. All locking
points should
engage smoothly. There should be no
rubbing on the
floor and no binding. When the unit is
closed, the
horizontal reveal between panels and the
head track
and between panels and the floor should
be
consistent. Please have all problems corrected
as
soon as possible by a qualified technician or a
NanaWall
C
ertified
I
nstaller.
2.
From time to time, due to building movement
or
settlement, a unit may need to be adjusted
by a
qualified technician or a NanaWall
C
ertified
I
nstaller
to compensate for any building change.
3.
It is important that a unit is operated properly.
Locking points should be gently opened and closed
and not forced. Panels should be opened and closed
in the proper manner and sequence.
See the
Operation section for proper operation.
4.
Periodically check for worn or damaged components
and replace as soon as possible. A unit with
nonworking components will subject the other
components to increased stress and lead to
premature failure. A unit with worn or damaged
components will compromise the performance level
expected.
5.
Remove debris and other foreign bodies which
have accumulated in the head track and sockets
immediately to prevent damaging the carriers
and maintain proper locking.
Clean and lubricate all
movable parts and components as needed.
Check brushes for proper seating and condition.
Remove dust and any deposits from these brushes.
6. The finished aluminum or stainless steel surface
needs periodic cleaning and maintenance. Its
appearance may be marred by harsh chemicals,
abuse or neglect. Frequency of cleaning depends
on exposure and needs. For aluminum surfaces,
generally warm soapy water should be sufficient.
Stubborn stains and deposits may be removed
with mineral spirits. Heavier accumulations can be
removed with a mild solution of household detergent.
For all surfaces, aggressive alkaline or acid cleaners
should not be used. Excessive abrasive rubbing
should be avoided. Sealants and weather stripping
may be affected by strong organic solvents.
7.
All hardware, hinges and handles should
be periodically cleaned with a soft cloth
and mild cleanser. Excessive abrasive rubbing
should be avoided.
8. It is highly recommended that a maintenance/
service contract be entered with a NanaWall certified
installer, who can clean, lubricate and inspect
on a periodic basis.
