Most sentences are in the imperative mood. This style is especially suited for
instructions covering installations of products and equipment.
Example: "spread adhesive using notched trowel"

"use a notched trowel"
"install flooring with textures side up"
The verb is the first word of the sentence clearly defining the action to be
performed. This is more concise and, therefore, readily understandable.

1 Wire-brush and wash the surface thoroughly with water,
neutralize and test pH or alkalinity. Salts and white crystals
that resist water can be dissolved by washing or scrubbing the
surface with diluted hydrochloric acid, (half-liter commercial
grade hydrochloric acid to four liters of water). Rinse surface
with water and allow to dry.

Allow solution to remain on the surface for 24 hours to ensure proper

treatment.Wash off residue with water. Let dry.
Metal
0 Ferrous Metal: Metal must be clean and dry, free from oil, grease, wax,
dust, rust, solder flux and other contaminants.
The ideal surface preparation for rusty metal is White Metal Blasting
which can be achieved by san-blasting or power-grinding. This
involves the removal of all visible rust, mill scale, paint and
contaminants, leaving the metal uniformly white or gray in
appearance. This metal surface preparation should be used where
maximum performance protective coating is necessary due to
exceptionally severe conditions such as constant immersion in water or
liquid chemicals.
The films of rust may be removed by wire-brushing, sanding or

scraping. Thicker layers of rust can be removed with the use of
solutions. Wipe the surface with rag soaked in paint thinner. Apply
BOYSEN 71 METAL ETCHING SOLUTION.
Metal surfaces cleared of rust must be immediately primed with

BOYSEN METAL PRIMERS. Do not allow bright metal to be exposed
to the elements for prolonged periods as rust will set in fast. Clean
with BOYSEN 0340 PAINT THINNER especially where solder flux has
been used.
1 Galvanized Iron: Clean thoroughly to remove dust, foreign matter, oil

or grease by solvent, thinner or metal etching solution. Light sand
glossy finish of new galvanized iron; clean thoroughly. Weathered
surfaces showing thin films of rust shall be sanded or wirebrush
cleaned; immediately thereafter.
Rust films that cannot be removed by wire-brushing or sanding should

be removed with solution. Wire brush or scrape rusted metal. Apply
BOYSEN 71 METAL ETCHING SOLUTION. Then clean surface and
immediately apply BOYSEN METAL PRIMER. Do not allow surfaces
removed of rust to be exposed to the weather as rust will set in fast.
2 Repainting: Sand wire brush or scrape rusted metal and apply

BOYSEN 71 METAL ETCHING SOLUTION to remove rust. Let it stay
for 10 to 15 minutes. Thoroughly wash off surface with mineral spirits.
Let dry before applying paint.
Metal surfaces cleared of rust must be immediately primed with

BOYSEN METAL PRIMER. Do not allow metal to be exposed to the
elements for prolonged periods as rust will set in fast.

brushing, scraping or water blasting. Let dry.
For glossy areas, sand and dust clean.
In case of mildew infestation, treat with fungicidal wash solution (i.e.,

1:3 laundry bleach to water, respectively) by swabbing or brushing.
Allow solution to remain on the surface for 24 hours to ensure proper
treatment. Wash off residue with water. Let dry.
Aluminum: Surfaces must be dry, clean and free from foreign matter may
impair adhesion. Clean surfaces with lacquer thinner then light sand to
reduce gloss before application. Use vinyl wash, ANZAHL WASH PRIMER
for better adhesion of succeeding coats.
Cementitious Waterproofing System: Surface must be clean, free of dust,

grease, rust, grit or mortar. For masonry, wet first the surface before
applying the PLEXIBOND to avoid abrupt drying over sunbathed sections.
Apply bond coat by brushing straight from the can. Apply mortar topping
while the PLEXIBOND coating still tacky.
Allow overnight before applying topcoat.
Glossy Surfaces: Sand and clean surfaces thoroughly. This method will provide
a "tooth" for the following coats.
Oil and Grease: Remove oil or grease by paint thinner or by wiping with rags
wetted with BOYSEN 0340 PAINT THINNER. Change solvents and rags
frequently. Remove loose dirt by bristle brushes, then blow clean with air
pressure or steam cleaning.

noted by the Engineer. Changes in direction shall by approved long sweep
elbows or other acceptable fittings.
Pipe Sleeves: Make all pipe sleeves secure in place. Size sleeves to provide
approximately 6 millimeters clearance around the incoming pipe. Use PVC
or steel pipes for pipe sleeves in general. Used galvanized iron pipes and
sheets as the case may require for sleeves in floors. When appropriate and
called for, provide the sleeves with an integral flashing flange or a
clamping device to which a flashing shield can be clamped or soldered.
Anchors and Guides: Support rigidly all piping along surfaces by means of
approved supports. Support piping to maintain required position and
pitching of lines to prevent vibration, and to secure piping it1 place.
Arrange so as to provide for expansion and contraction. For piping along
concrete surfaces, use cast steel inserts of a type which reserves a machine
bolt and nut, permits fine adjustment for bolt and installed before the
concrete IS poured. Support exposed vertical runs of pipe with wrought
iron clamps or collar spaced not more than 3 meters apart. For risers, use
heavy blacksmith construction friction clamps at their base on floors.

Tapping for Fixtures: Make connections between fixtures and flanges on soil
pipes absolutely gas and water tight, and seal with an approved setting
compound. For pipe terminals intended to be tapped to fixtures, practice
care and precision in determining outlet or inlet locations during the pipe
installation stage and considering the specific finished space housing such
as fixtures. For an array of fixtures in one space, and where distances
between fixtures and walls are critical, use guide templates in locating the
exact setting of fixtures that tapping joint location supply and drain pipes
are pinpointed.
Cleaning and Painting: Rid all exposed metal surfaces of grease, dirt, or foreign
material. Polish all chromed components. For any damage, stoppage, or
discoloration of part of the building and its furnishings and equipment,
