Note damaged surfaces or incomplete construction that could compromise the FliteLine installation. 3.2 - PREPARATION A. Field Measurements: Verify dimensions of all installation surfaces. Make sure you have sufficient quantity of FliteLine components and surface cleaning products to properly install the FliteLine System. B. Surface Cleaning: All surfaces to be clean, dry and free of obstructions. Bird droppings to be removed and disposed of in a safe manner and in compliance with local and federal regulations. Follow manufacturers cleaning recommendations when using the surface cleaning system. 3.3 – SURFACE CLEANING A. All surfaces to be clean, dry and free of obstructions before bird control is installed. B. IF BIRD WASTE IS PRESENT : Treat, neutralize and safely remove all bird waste from installation surfaces. Installer must follow all city, state and federal regulations regarding the proper removal and disposal of bird droppings. C. Use Nixalite’s surface cleaning products to neutralize any bird droppings, nests and related waste materials that may be present. Allow all surfaces to air dry completely, and then reapply to sanitize and deodorize the surface before proceeding. Strictly follow treatment instructions provided with Nixalite’s surface cleaning products. D. Use Nixalite anti-bacterial personal protection products to help prevent disease transmittal when working around surfaces contaminated with bird droppings. 3.4 - INSTALLATION A. Install the FliteLine Post & Wire Bird Deterrent System as recommended by the manufacturer, strictly following the FliteLine row spacing and installation guidelines provided by the manufacturer. B. Space and install guide posts per manufacturers spacing guidelines. Use the recommended combinations of guide post heights and multiple cable runs as recommended by manufacturer. Row Spacing Guidelines: Maximum space between FliteLine rows: 3” (7.6cm). Maximum space from all edges and walls: 1” (2.5cm). Post Spacing Guidelines: FliteLine is installed in 10 ft. (3 m) maximum length sections. Each section consists of 2 anchor posts (at each end) and 1 guide post (in the middle). If running continuous sections (end-to-end), the last anchor post in a section will serve as the first anchor post of the following section. Maximum space between Anchor Posts: 10 ft. (3m). Maximum space between Anchor Posts and Guide Posts: 5 ft. (1.5m). Guide Posts are not required for sections less than 5 ft. (1.5m) long. For Best Results: Multiple row installations: alternate post heights for each row. The first row will always consist of all short posts; the next row will be all tall posts (and so on). Single row installations will always be tall posts with both cables installed. Install both cables at all outside edges of a FliteLine installation. This includes the “gate” cables (closing the gate) at the ends of an installation. C. Cable Connections: The Flite Cable is connected to the anchor posts at each end of a section. One end is a simple loop connection that uses a Flite Ferrule for fastening. The cable is passed through the guide posts (if required) and then fastened the closed end of a Flite Spring using another loop connection. The open end of the Flite Spring is then hooked through the appropriate hole in the Flite Post. D. Protect the entire surface, not just the outside edge of a surface. Follow all the spacing guidelines provided by manufacturer. 3.5 – ADJUSTMENTS / CLEANING A. Remove debris and waste materials from project site. B. Visually inspect finished installation. Make any adjustments needed to conform to manufacturer’s FliteLine installation guidelines.
