Shiplap <strong>DuraPlate</strong> Panel Change<br />
1-4<br />
Trailer Setup<br />
Completely unload the trailer and park on a level shop floor. If more than two<br />
panels are removed at the same time, support the base rail with jack stands.<br />
String should be tightly stretched along the base rail for alignment, and as a<br />
reference point for ensuring the base rail remains level.<br />
Reference Marks<br />
1. Make reference marks at the top rail, along the base rail, and 4 ft. up on<br />
the vertical seams to show exactly where the old panel was installed. To<br />
eliminate confusion, make the same reference marks on the inside of the<br />
trailer. When the new panel is installed, both mechanics will have<br />
reference marks.<br />
2. Use an "X" to mark the damaged panel that will be removed.<br />
