Procedure

1. Check the paperwork on the grid trees for your next glass schedule to run.
2. Pull the grid tree over to your line.
3. Match the glass sticker to the grid sticker.
   1. Make sure the grid pattern, thickness, and style are all correct.
4. Remove all stickers and tape from the grids.
5. Inspect grids for any noticeable scratches, gaps between grids, smears, etc.
   1. Using the alcohol and cans of spray paint, clean and repair and minor issues to the grids.
6. If the gird has an issue that can not be repaired, the grid will have to be remade as soon as possible.
   1. Call over your team lead.
7. Check what keepers are on the ends of the grid.
   1. Keepers for the Lisec lines need the little metal keeper tab bent outwards.
   2. Keepers for the 7500 and 7000 need the little metal tab unbent.
8. On the Lisec lines, use the small slits in the spacer and the measuring board built into the line to correctly insert the grid unit.
9. On the 7500 line, use the lines monitor, lines lasers, and the measuring board built into the line to correctly insert the grid unit.
10. On the 7000 line, use a tape measure and the measuring board built into the line to correctly insert the grid unit.
11. Orient the grids so they are unbroken vertically, when looking through the low-e lite and unbroken horizontally, when looking through the clear lite.
    1. If the grid is two-toned, orient the colored portion of the grid towards the low-e lite.          
       1. Unless the customer has requested the colored portion towards the clear lite. This is rare and would be indicated on the label.
12. For any horizontal grids orient the grids so the grid seams are towards the bottom of the unit.
13. Apply a small piece of mylar tape to the end of the keeper if needed.
    1. Any grid configuration that does not touch all four sides of the spacer needs mylar tape.
       1. All single bar (horizontal or vertical) grids need mylar tape on both sides.
       2. All T-bar grids need mylar tape on the bottom most keepers.
14. Step back and examine the grid for any visual defects, unevenness, or spacer bowing.
