          PART 3EXECUTION
 
          3.1EXAMINATION
 
          A.Do not begin installation until substrates have been properly prepared.
 
          B.Examine areas to receive translucent skylights and wall systems, with installer and manufacturer's representative present, including supporting structure and substrate for dimensions, tolerances, material conditions, and support.
 
          C.Notify Architect of conditions that would adversely affect installation or subsequent utilization of skylights and wall systems. Do not proceed with installation until unsatisfactory conditions are corrected.
 
          3.2PREPARATION
 
          A.Clean surfaces thoroughly prior to installation.
 
          B.Ensure supports to receive skylights and wall systems are clean, flat, level, plumb, and square.
 
          C.Aluminum Protection: Apply a protective coating of bituminous paint or other neutral material to dissimilar materials coming in contact with aluminum or separate with a nonabsorbent isolator.
 
          3.3INSTALLATION
 
          A.Install translucent skylights and wall systems in accordance with manufacturer's instructions at locations indicated on the Drawings.
 
          B.Install skylights and wall systems level, plumb, square, accurately aligned, correctly located, and without warp or rack.
 
          C.Do not install skylight components with deficiencies or dimensional errors. Do not proceed with installation until unsatisfactory components are replaced.
 
          D.Anchor skylights and wall systems securely in place to supports. Use attachment methods permitting adjustment for construction tolerances, irregularities, alignment, and expansion and contraction.
 
          E.Install skylights and wall systems including flashings, fasteners, hardware, sealants, and glazing materials required for a complete, weatherproof installation.
 
          F.Sheet Metal Flashing: Install sheet metal flashing at skylight and wall systems perimeter as specified in Section 07 62 00 - Sheet Metal Flashing and Trim.
 
          G.Sealants: Install sealants at sill flashing and perimeter framing as required to prevent air and water intrusion as specified in Section 07 91 23 - Backer Rods.
 
          H.Repair damages to protective weathering surface of exterior face sheet in accordance with manufacturer's instructions and as approved by Architect.
 
          3.4FIELD QUALITY CONTROL
 
          A.Water Test: Test skylights and wall systems according to procedures in AAMA 501.2.
 
          B.Repair or replace work that does not pass testing or that is damaged by testing and retest work.
 
          C.Inspect installation of sheet metal flashing and sealants.
 
          D.Inspect face sheets for cracks, deep scratches, and other damage.
 
          3.5CLEANING
 
          A.Clean installed skylights and wall systems in accordance with manufacturer's instructions.
 
          B.Clean skylights and wall systems inside and outside, including member connections and inside corners, immediately after installation and after sealants have cured.
 
          C.Remove temporary protective coverings and strippable coatings from prefinished metal surfaces.
 
          D.Remove labels and part number markings from components.
 
          E.Do not use harsh cleaning materials or methods that would damage metal finishes or glazing.
 
          3.6PROTECTION
 
          A.Protect installed products until completion of project.
