Logistic DuraPlate Panel Change 2-8 Reference Marks 1. After the two outside batten strips have been removed, and before removing the old panel, use a grease pencil to mark exactly where the old panel is installed, marking both the base rail and top rail. These guide marks will ensure the placement of the new panel in its correct location and help align the holes of both inner and outer batten strips. Breaking the Panel Sealant Bonds 1. Complete work on both vertical seams first. Move down to the trailer floor and shear off the rivet button heads. Punch out the 36 rivet stems securing the panel at the base rail. If both vertical seams are properly freed, the lower portion of the panel will break away from the base rail. If not, cut away the adhesive with a utility knife and carefully strike the lower portion of the panel with a sledge hammer. CAUTION: For safety, remove base rail rivets first and then install two quick release c-clamps. This secures the side panel at the base rail until the top rail connection is freed from its bonds. 2. Before cutting loose any other top rail rivets, have a person inside the trailer apply pressure against the panel. This keeps it in place behind the top rail. This safety practice will prevent the panel from falling and causing an injury. ®
® Logistic DuraPlate Panel Change 3. Remove the final top rail rivets from the outside by working on a ladder or scaffold stand. Have a mechanic, equipped with an air impact hammer and chisel tip, cut off the outer rivet clinched nubs across the full panel width on the outer rail face. Then, use the impact chisel between the aluminum rail and pane surface to force the two apart. CAUTION: Before releasing the base rail clamps, have at least two extra people with gloves help to safely lower the panel down. Figure 2-5, Three People to Safely Remove the Old Panel 2-9
