Installation manual
– English
➢
The Product should be protected from damage caused by people, animals or plants (hits, scratches,
damage caused by pressurised water or roots of plants, etc.).
➢
Any holes in the Product caused by pith knots should be filled with suitable filler material for wood.
➢
We recommend that you inspect the Product thoroughly once every six months.
For wooden houses special attention shall be paid in addition in the following points:
➢
Wooden house doors and windows need to be processed with a wood impregnation agent, inside
and outside! Otherwise the doors and windows can become twisted.
➢
Floor boards should be covered in advance with a colourless wood impregnation agent, especially
the bottom sides of the boards, to which one will no longer have access when the house is
assembled. Only this will prevent moisture penetration.
➢
Roof needs to be covered with covering material suitable for local weather conditions. Roofing felt
that is included in the packages of some products is not a final product but only an underlayer.
➢
Roofing should be checked regularly for leaks, and the “cold” roof construction should be checked
for the adequacy of ridge airing.
➢
When choosing the location for a wooden house, it is the responsibility of the Buyer to ensure that
the Product is not exposed to extreme weather conditions (heavy snow or strong winds), otherwise
the Product must be fixed to the subsoil (e.g. by anchors) and snow needs to be pushed off regularly.
➢
During at least the first three years, adjustable bolt down post supports and threaded rods of the
wooden house (if they are part of the Product) should be tightened or loosened as necessary.
➢
Adequate ventilation should be ensured for strip foundation or closed perimeter pillar foundation.
Preservation of documents and data.
The Buyer is required to keep all documents accompanying the
Product (incl. invoice, delivery note, CMR, assembly manual with inspection sheet) and to ensure that
the unique identification number of the Product is preserved (the identification number is indicated on
the label of the Product’s packaging and on cover page of the assembly manual). The Seller has the
right to require the Buyer to append these documents to any complaint. Failure to provide these
documents will invalidate a complaint or warranty claim.
Product-specific use and maintenance requirements.
In addition to the provisions of this section,
the Buyer is required to follow the requirements arising from the documentation and manuals that
accompany the Product when storing, using and maintaining the Product. The Buyer is solely
responsible for ensuring that the installation and further use of the Product complies with local laws and
(construction) regulations and, if necessary, apply for the necessary permits.
