Setup and Installation

The self-adhesive letters and numbers are designed for easy application to most smooth and flat surfaces. No special tools are required for installation.

1. Prepare the Surface: Ensure the surface where the sign will be installed is clean, dry, and free from dust, grease, or debris. A clean surface is crucial for proper adhesion.
2. Plan Layout: Before peeling, arrange the desired letters and numbers on the surface to visualize the final layout and ensure correct spacing and alignment. Use a ruler or level for precision if needed.
3. Apply Characters: Carefully peel off the backing paper from each letter or number to expose the self-adhesive side.

Operating and Usage

Once installed, the Hillman Square Cut Letters and Numbers provide clear and visible identification. The black characters on a silver reflective background are designed for maximum visibility, especially in varying light conditions. These characters are suitable for both commercial and residential applications, including mailboxes, doors, windows, and other smooth surfaces where clear labeling is required.

Maintenance

The vinyl material used for these letters and numbers is durable and weather-resistant. To maintain their appearance and reflectivity:

• Cleaning: Wipe the characters gently with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the vinyl or affect the adhesive.
• Inspection: Periodically check the adhesion of the characters, especially after extreme weather conditions.

Troubleshooting

• Characters not adhering: Ensure the surface was thoroughly cleaned and dry before application. Cold temperatures can affect adhesive performance; apply in moderate temperatures if possible.
• Poor visibility: While designed for high visibility, ensure the placement of the sign is in a well-lit area or an area where the reflective properties can be utilized effectively.
• Damage to characters: The vinyl is weather-resistant, but extreme physical abrasion can cause damage. Avoid scraping or harsh impacts.
