Craftsman CTS205 manual 122, Preparing the new panel

CertainTeed Vinyl Siding Installation Guide

NOTE: To eliminate interference from the panel above the damaged panel, use two roofing nails as a wedge to prop up the upper panel.

Push up on the panel to unlock it, and then pull down to remove the damaged panel.

Preparing the new panel

Cut off all top locking tabs.

Flip the panel over and cut 1/8" off the side locking tabs.

NOTE: For Half-Round Shingles, notch the side locking tab on a 45˚ angle.

NOTE: On the D9" Staggered Rough-Split Shakes and T5" Straight Edge Perfection Shingles panels, there are 7 locking tabs, but there are only 6 cam clips per kit. Place one cam clip in the nail slot above each of the end locking tabs, working towards the middle of the panel using all 6 clips. Leave one locking tab in the middle of the panel without the cam clip.

NOTE: For Half-Round Shingles install four cam clips in nail slot locations (left to right) 3, 13, 18, and 28.

You must install the cam clip and the snap rivet at the same time. Installing the rivet before the clip may cause the rivet to mushroom and prevent it from keeping the cam clip securely in place.
