WHEN WORKING WITH A LADDER• Useasturdyladderlongenoughtoextendatleast61cmto91cm(2’to3’)aboverooflevel

so that you can hold on to the rails while climbing on and off the roof.• Secure both sides of the ladder at the top and at the bottom.• Don’t lean too far away from the ladder to reach the next section of roof. It is safer to move the ladder.

The board can be moved around the roof as you work.

• Make sure that tools and materials placed on the roof cannot slide.• Don’t place heavy piles of shingles in one spot. Spread them around the roof to evenly

distribute the weight.• Don’t take any unnecessary risks.

Useagluecombornotchedtroweltoapplyathinevencoating(lessthan2mmor1/16”thick)ofasphaltplasticcement. Overusing asphalt plastic cement can damage the shingles.IMPORTANT: Shingles have factory-applied sealant bands that are activated thermally. Certain conditions can undermine the effectiveness of the adhesive and its ability to keep shingles down and prevent wind blow-offs.

SHINGLES MUST BE CEMENTED DOWN IF INSTALLED• in high wind areas;•onslopesequaltoorgreaterthan15/12(seeSection 3.1-D and Figure 4);• when the outside temperature at the time of installation is not high enough to activate thesealantband(seeSection 3.1-F);and

•Verifythatthedeckissufficientlysolidtosupportanadditionallayerofshingles.Checkyourlocal buildingcodebecause,giventhedangerofoverloadingthesupportingstructure,somemunicipalities forbidre-roofingovertwoormorelayersofshingles.

• Check the underside of the deck for boards that are rotten or warped and must be replaced;• Inspect the roof system to ensure that there are no moisture retention problems and that itwillmeetminimumventilationrequirements.

• Check the condition of the old shingles and remove or drive in any protruding nails. Any defects in the old layer of shingles may transfer to the new layer. BP assumes no responsibility for aesthetic problems that typically arise due to multiple-layer installation.

• Consider using longer nails that can penetrate the roof deck.• Hip and ridge shingles of the existing roof must be removed before installing new shingles.

Section 2 Preparation,ProtectionofVulnerableAreas&Ventilation

Section 3 General Instructions

NOTE: Compliance with all local safety regulations is the responsibility of the installer. Compliance with current building codes is the responsibility of the installer and the homeowner. Self-sealing shingles have sealant bands that must be exposed to sufficient surface temperatures to ensure full thermal sealing. Shingles installed in the fall or winter may not seal unless they are exposed to sufficient surface temperatures (see Section 3.1-F). In addition, contamination of the sealant by dust or foreign matter may prevent the sealant band from achieving full thermal seal. Prior to sealing, shingles are more vulnerable to being blown-off or incurring wind damage.
