ASSEMBLE WITH CARE! Pangard II Polyester Powder coat is a strong, long‐lasting finish. To protect
this finish during assembly, place unwrapped powder coated parts on packaging foam or other non‐
marring surface. Do not place or slide powder coated parts on concrete or other hard or textured
surface – this will damage the finish causing rust to occur. Use touch‐up paint on any gouges in the
finish caused by assembly tools.
