MANUFACTURER:

Nixalite of America Inc is the single manufacturer and single source for the FliteLine Post & Wire Bird Deterrent. FliteLine is a simple surface deterrent for large birds (pigeons, crows, seagulls). All components are made of either stainless steel or non-corrosive materials.

FliteLine Post & Wire Bird Deterrent FliteLine is an inconspicuous post and wire bird deterrent that is installed on all types of surfaces to deter large birds from landing or roosting. It consists of a spring tensioned stainless steel wire (Flite Cable) run between stainless steel posts (Flite Posts).

PART 3 – EXECUTION

Visually inspect the surfaces that will receive the FliteLine system and the surrounding areas. 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
All surfaces to be clean, dry and free of obstructions before bird control is installed.

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. 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. Guide Posts ARE NOT required for sections less than 5 ft. 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.

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 to 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.
