2.0 SEAM TYPES2.1 GeneralThe TS-324TM Standing Seam Roof System has three seamtype options. The project’s design and roof performancerequirement’s govern which seam type is required.

2.2 RollLok™ SeamThe RollLok Seam requires seaming the roof panels withthe manual seaming tool only at the panel clips, at the eaveand ridge ends of the roof panel, and at the endlaps.

2.3 TripleLok™ SeamThe TripleLok Seam requires seaming the roof panel withthe manual seaming tool at the starting eave or ridge endof the roof panel and at the endlaps. Then seaming the fulllength of the roof panels with the motor seaming machine.

2.4 QuadLok™ Seam

Different seam types may be required on specific areas ofthe r oof. In a ll cases, r efer to the e rection drawings todetermine the required seam type and location.

www.schultebuildingsystems.comTS-324™ R oof System Seaming Guide3.0 IMPORTANCE OF SEAMING

3.1 Roof PerformanceThe roof panels must be correctly seamed before the roofsystem can provide i ts des igned wind l oad and w eatherresistance capability. This means that an un-seamed roofis subject to wind load f ailure and/ or weather r esistancefailure.

3.2 When to SeamWhenever possible, t he installed r oof panels should b eseamed at the f inish of each days work. If high wind orrain/snow conditions are imminent, the installed roof panelsmust be seamed before such conditions occur.

3.3 Temporary SeamingOn roofs requiring TripleLok and QuadLok seams, it maynot always be practical or feasible to motor seam the roofpanels until after the roof installation is completed. Motorseamed roof panels are difficult to reposition or replace andseaming machines may not always be available during theentire roof installation period.

In such cases, it may be desirable to temporarily RollLokseam the roof panels with the manual seaming tool, thenlater c omplete t he s eaming with t he motor seamingmachine.

Important: Temporary RollLok seaming must be approvedby the project’s designer.

10.1 General10.0 MOTOR SEAMING MACHINE MAINTENANCE

The motor seaming machine is a precision fabricated, highperformance, portable roll forming machine. This relativelylightweight machine does the tough job of forming the extrastrong TripleLok and QuadLok seams under often ruggedfield conditions.

Although designed for tough industrial use, the seamingmachine r equires pr oper m aintenance to assure pr operseaming and efficient, trouble free operation.

10.2 Seaming RollsThe seaming rolls require the following regular maintenance:

a. Assure that the seaming machine’s seaming rollsare free of dirt, grease, sealant, etc.

b. Spray the seaming rolls with WD-40 (or equal) toprevent corrosion and minimize Galvalume bui ld-up on the rolls.

c. Assure that the seaming machine’s seaming rollsare tight on their shafts. Check and tighten the rolls’retainer screws as necessary.

d. On p ainted r oofs, e specially dur ing v ery h ot orabrasive conditions, spraying or misting the seams

10.3 LubricationLubricate the seaming machine with EP2 grease (or equal)after every 10,000 sq. ft. of roof area is seamed (or every5,000 sq. ft. if temperatures exceed 100º F .) Apply t hegrease at the (9) grease fittings on the top and sides of theseaming machine.

Caution: Failure to properly maintain the seaming machineas instructed below can result in faulty or damaged seamsand costly break-down of the seaming machine.

10.4 Cooling VentsTo prevent motor overheating, the motor has vents and aninternal fan to provide a cooling air flow over the internalmotor parts.

The cooling vents are located at the front and rear of themotor. At the f ront of the motor, the v ents are the slotsbetween the motor housing and t he gear box . The rearvents are on the end of the motor housing. Check frequently

to assure that these vents are kept clean and clear of debris,stringing sealant, etc.

While the machine is running, never cover the machine orplace it in a position where the cooling air flow to the ventswill be restricted.

with water, or a light lubricant such as WD-40, aheadof the seaming machine may significantly reduceburnishing and oxide marking of the seam surface.

e. On very dry Galvalume roofs, spraying or mistingthe seams with water, or a light lubricant such asWD-40, ahead of t he s eaming m achine m aysignificantly reduce seaming friction and Galvalumebuild-up on the seaming rolls.

f. When Q uadLok seaming, t he i ncreased seamingpressures may require spraying the seam with a lightlubricant, such as W D-40, ahead o f t he seamingmachine t o r educe bur nishing or ab rasion of t heseam surface.
