Please read all the assembly instructions then follow them step by step. We also recommend following our YouTube animated assembly video. Find the link to the Exaco YouTube page on our website at www.exaco.com. If you have questions or run into any difficulty, please give us a call at 877-760-8500. What to do First: The driver will have a Bill of Lading which will have the quantity of boxes you should receive. Check all the outer boxes for damage and make sure you have the correct quantity. If you are missing a box or see damage - write this on the Bill of Lading before the driver leaves. Notify Exaco as soon as possible if any of the boxes are damaged or missing. In the case of damage: Please do not refuse any of the boxes or the whole shipment, because of any damage. We will gladly replace any damaged items. Sending replacement parts is a simple and easy process. Contact Exaco Customer Service at 877-760-8500 or email us at [email protected]. Photos will help us identify the parts and see the extent of damage. Storage: Please keep all the boxes in a dry place and protect against sunlight (see not regarding polycarbonate below). If stored outdoors, protect securely with tarps. Placement of greenhouse: If possible, choose a sunny location, avoiding the shadows of buildings and trees. For vegetables, it is recommended to position your greenhouse in a north-south orientation if possible - for flowers and potted plants, east-west. Protection from heavy winds: If your area is subject to very strong wind gusts, we strongly recommend adding some additional wind protection such as: a row of small trees, large shrubs or a wooden fence. Please contact Exaco Trading customer service to discuss additional anchoring options and window bracing kits for high wind. Warning: To prevent injury or damage, do not attempt assembly of this greenhouse in windy conditions. It is dangerous to leave a greenhouse partially assembled. Damages during assembly process, due to bad weather, are not covered by our warranty. Assembly: Much of the assembly can be done by one person, but it is most helpful to have a second pair of hands available. Assembling the windows, doors and gables ahead of time will make you familiar with the process and will make the main assembly go quicker and more smoothly. Special Note: Much of the greenhouse is assembled with series of bolts that are inserted into the channels on the aluminum profiles/extrusions. If you miss inserted a bolt where needed, there are insertion points in the black ends of the vertical and curved profiles/extrusions. You may also create your own insertion point with a 1/2" drill bit. This will not compromise the integrity of the structure. For assembly, you will need the following tools: pc. Phillips screwdriver size 2 pc. 10mm Wrench pc. 3mm allen key (included in the accessoires bag of the roof window) pc. level pc. stepladder 1 pc. file to remove any burrs on the profil pc. rubber mallet pc. tape measure - combination metric/inches is best 2 Quantity of cartons basic construction (gable/eaves) curved center profile windows/ doors glazing Riga S/II/III/IV Riga III/IV/V Start with the box labeled "basic kit". Please open one box at a time to avoid confusing the parts. Before you begin assembly of a section, check the parts list for that box and make sure all parts are present. Parts lists are provided in every box. The boxes go through a quality check before they are closed, thus missing parts are rare. Should any parts be missing please call Exaco customer service at 877-760-8500 or [email protected]. Additional notes for assembly: If forgotten, bolt heads can also be inserted later in the plastic at the bottom of the door frame and top or bottom of curved aluminum extrusions. You may also create your own insertion point as needed with a 1/2" drill bit. This will not compromise the integrity of the structure. Wedge seals (V23) Pull them apart at the center. IMPORTANT! After greenhouse is assembled, push the seal 3 - 5 mm between the soil profile and the glazing on the inside of the greenhouse! Important: Compress the seals when you install them as they contract in cold weather Quantity of wedge seals length 3 - 5 mm 6 - 8 mm 72 mm (28.03 in) 768 mm (30.24 in) 030 mm (40.55 in) 4 4 4 1 1 1 7 11 14 Riga S II Riga S III Riga S IV model 3 - 5 mm 3 - 5 mm 6 - 8 mm 768 mm (30.24 in) 030 mm (40.55 in) 030 mm (40.55 in) 1 1 1 4 4 4 11 14 16 length Riga III Riga IV Riga V s.1 po pos.1-5-6 -4 -5 .4- s po 1 5-6 -9 po po s.1 s.1 -1 -9 pos.2-3.1 -8 pos.2-3.1 s.1 .1 - s.1 po 2 .3- s po s po pos.1-6 po -2 s.4 po s po 4 -51 . s po 3 .3- pos.1-7 model 3 - 5 mm .2- s po 1 !!!Note: Important information for glazing!!! When installing the polycarbonate glazing make sure the UV coated side faces out. Loosen the edges of the protective film for installation. After the assembly is complete pull it off immediately. Do not leave the film on for any period of time in the sunlight. Several days of sunlight can burn the film firmly on the glazing. Markings on the film will indicate the UV coating - most will be 2UV (coating on both sides). Do not pull the film off right out of the box, otherwise you cannot tell which side has the UV protection! Suggestion: If you plan on disassembling and moving you should mark the UV side of each panel before installation. A small circle in a lower corner with a permanent marker will work well. Question: Does the greenhouse glazing need to be completely sealed? We recommend that you seal the horizontal transitions where the glazing meets the aluminum profiles with a neutral cure transparent silicone. (Shown in the diagram below by dashed lines.) This will prevent water and dirt from entering the glazing slots. Advantage: The greenhouse stays looking new as the seal prevents the formation of algae and buildup of dirt/dust inside the glazing. During some weather conditions condensation can occur within the hollow chambers of the glazing. This is because the glazing chambers are not air tight. The condensation is purely aesthetic and cannot be avoided. The condensation/water vapor will not damage the glazing, even at freezing temperatures. Warning: Use only neutral cure silicone, otherwise it may lead to stress cracks in plastic glazing. This is the most common silicone sealant. Neutral cure silicone is available in most hardware stores. We recommend Boss 399. You can purchased Boss 399 directly from us, just call 1-877-760-8500. Cleaning and care: To wash the greenhouse use plenty of water, a soft car wash brush and a little mild dish soap - Palmolive works well. Foundation frame (optional accessory) ATTENTION: The Foundation Frame/Soil profile are assembled to check for level and square. This is not final and will need to be disassembled. Do not permanently attach corners or fill in the gable end trenches with dirt. The side wall trenches can be partially filled with dirt. Once this step has been completed go to Step 1 on page 10. inside of greenhouse outside of greenhouse The optional Riga foundation frame is the easiest and the safest foundation for a greenhouse. It requires no concrete. ATTENTION: When using the Riga foundation frame attach it to the soil profile before these steps (see pages 5, 6) The foundation frame hooks into the soil profile and the corners are bolted together with a corner angle (V26). (See page 6). Use the supplied self tapping screws to firmly attach the soil profile to the foundation frame. Setting up the foundation frame Dig a small ditch 4-5 inches deep in the dimensions of the foundation frame. Use paving stones or gravel under the horizontal sections as much as possible to prevent the potential for the greenhouse to sag. It is also very practical to install tile or stone flooring, this prevents the mud from splashing on the greenhouse during heavy rain and makes work easier around the greenhouse, such as mowing the lawn.

Note: The foundation frame profiles are shorter than soil profiles To stabilize the greenhouse, use the mounting bracket (V27) with bolts M6 x 2 (S2) Bolt the (V27) to the foundation frame and the side curves or door frames. Use the supplied self tapping screws to firmly attach the soil profile to the foundation frame. Note: The foundation frame profiles are shorter than soil profiles In the foundation frame corners use two M6 x 2 bolts (S2) and one corner bracket (V26) Fasten them with two M6 nuts (S). Attaching the greenhouse to your own foundation or anchoring system We recommend that you use anchor bolts to secure the soil profile to your foundation. The anchor bolts are not included. side profile/ door frame mounting bracket - offset - (V15) bolt M6 x 12 (S12) + nut M6 (S1) soil profil Greenhouse on a Stem Wall (Requires optional door extension/drop door kit) You must have a door extension kit to place the Riga greenhouse on a stem/knee wall. The wall must be 20" high and the rough opening for the front door should be 33" wide. Use the greenhouse exterior dimensions for your wall exterior dimensions - this will ensure your doors will open fully and connect with your door catch. Please be sure the thickness of your wall allows for secure anchoring and meets local building standards. W1 Foundation plan Riga S/Riga Construction with a perimeter or strip foundation If you have not purchased a foundation frame secure the greenhouse by means of a strip or perimeter foundation. Create the foundation in accordance with the specified dimensions below. A stone/cement base is not required. The greenhouse can be placed directly on the ground but it must be anchored securely. You may also place the greenhouse on a full slab foundation - consider texture and drainage. Please make sure that the foundation is level in all directions. EEs exterior edge of foundation exterior of greenhouse Screws and anchors are not included. Suggestion: Assemble the lower frame (soil profiles 1.1/2.1, soil profile corner V9) of the greenhouse to use as a template to create a stone or concrete foundation. Make sure the corners are square. This will prevent any errors in measurement.

The T-seal (V25) is only inserted on three sides of the roof window. The top side slides into the roof beam so no seal is required. In the door threshold, the hose section (V14) is pressed into the soil profile. This prevents dirt from getting into the soil profile. Attention! In the lower door press the seal into the profile first then install the rectangular tube. * Note: The seal is bundled in one strand for all doors and windows, please cut accordingly. 2 Assembly roof window corner with grub screw (V13) corner bracket/roof window (V24) Top window profile (pos.4.2) Side window profile (pos. 4.1) Attach the roof window side profiles to the bottom roof window profile using the corner brackets and the metal corners with grub screws.

Automatic Window Opener 2 3 4 5 opener frame pressure cylinder cotter pin mounting plate window profile mounting plate cross bar 3 3 4 2 5 Auto Opener Installation 1. Check whether the greenhouse window can open and close freely and unhindered. 2. Install the opener with the mounting plate (4) in the center of the lower roof window profile (pos 4.2) 3. Secure the cylinder by lining up the hole in the piston with the upper hole in the T-coupling, then insert the cotter pin. 4. Install the mounting plate (5) in the center of the cross bar(pos 3.2) using the middle hole in the mounting plate(5) 5. Attach the opener frame (1) to the mounting plate (5). Open the roof window until the threads of the piston (2) engage the threads of the opener frame (1). Thread the piston (2) half way into the threads in the opener frame (1). Adjustment: Let the opener acclimate to the greenhouse for 3-4 hours before you make adjustments. For earlier engagement and a larger opening, turn the cylinder clockwise. For a delayed engagement and a smaller opening turn the cylinder counter clockwise. Make sure you don’t back it out too far. For opening engagement advance/delay one full turn is about 1 degree Fahrenheit. Please keep in mind that greenhouse temperatures can vary and windows can have different opening tolerances. Winter-usage: When the temperature decreases and the window is no longer to be opened, or when a source of heat is used in the greenhouse: 1. Unscrew the cylinder from the cylinder housing. The cylinder is now hanging from the cotter pin and cannot open the window. The cylinder can be left hanging in this position over the winter. 2. Use a sash lock to lock the window shut for the winter so it cannot blow open. Required Maintenance: Every year, check to make sure the piston shaft and cylinder threads are greased and move freely. A dab of light oil such as WD40 or olive oil on the piston shaft and the cylinder threads will be sufficient. Failure to do so could render your opener inoperable. 5 Riga Greenhouse Window Auto Opener Correct Installation In the correct position, the opener is sitting parallel to the window, which means that it will not demand a lot of pressure from the cylinder when the opening starts. Before fitting a new cylinder to the openers, you must check that the window can open freely right from the start. If not you must change the position of the aluminum profiles. 16 Roof Vent Recommendation for High Wind Areas If you get strong wind gusts, we recommend protecting your roof vents and openers with restraint cables. Roof vent restraints can be purchased from Exaco Trading (US distributor of Rigas) or can be made, they are not a standard part from the Riga manufacturer. Two restraints are used for each window; one on each side of the window. Install each loop between two flat washers on screws inserted into the channel. Position the restraint as illustrated and adjust as needed to avoid interference from the crossbar as the window is raised and lowered. *Only need 1 washer on top of the cable You can make your own restraints from 1/16 “ stainless wire rope,stranded 7x19 for maximum flexibility. Overall length should be about 16”. When installed near the crossbar, they will limit the window opening to less than the safe extents of the hinge and window opener, but greater than the maximum thermal extent of the opener. More important than the exact length of the restraint is a close length match for each window’s pair. If you are not equipped to swage the binding sleeves you can use wire rope clamps. 17 Profiles for divided revolving door - bottom overview numlength in mm ber pos. description 5.3. door profile bottom 1 700mm/279/16" 5.6 door profile left with hole for sash lock 1 692mm/271/4" 5.7 door profile right with hinge hole 1 692mm/271/4" 5.9 door profile top with transverse hole 1 700mm/279/16" 5.8 square tube with transverse hole 1 740mm/291/8" Content accessories bag divided revolving door - bottom overview number pos. description V51 metal hinge, black item no 9999 0358 V28 sash lock item no 9999 0023 V29 QR-stopper 30 x 30 x 1,5-2 *** item no 9999 0099 V25 T-seal item no 9999 0032 countersunk head 4,8 x 25 S8 screw (hinges) screw countersunk head 4,2 x 45 S7 (doors) countersunk head 3,5 x 22 S9 screw (sash lock) S6 2 1 2 2 2 8 item no 9999 0163 4 item no 9999 0160 2 item no 9999 0152 2 pan head screw 3,5 x 38 (square tube) item no 9999 0138 V32 glazing block 30 x 10 x 4 V30/ corner bracket door profil V31 2 left - item no 9999 0009 right - item no 9999 0011 * Note: The seal is bundled in one strand for all doors and windows, please cut accordingly. 8 length in mm 4 710mm/2715/16" 744mm/295/16" Assembly - divided revolving door - bottom view from outside Lay the profiles out like the diagram below (possibly on cardboard or something similar).

When using a foundation frame attach it to the soil profile before these steps (see pages 5, 6) step 8 to step 8: Note: If you have purchased a foundation frame attach it to the soil profiles before you attempt this step. First attach the soil profiles(pos 2.1) to the end gables with the preinstalled corner connectors(V9). Next screw the corner bracket (V12) to the gable end soil profile and the side soil profile. This will secure the gable end to the side wall. ) 2.1 s. po et ( file ack pro er br l i so corn to corner bracket (V2) screwed with screw pan head 4,2 x 3 (S9). e slid step 9 to step 9: Some assistance will be needed for the following steps. ridge profile (pos. 3.3) at the gable and end plate (V) screw with screw pan head 4,2 x 3 (S9) po fil ( ro ep We recommend you have someone stand on a ladder and hold one end of the ridge profile while you proceed with the rest of the assembly. You could also construct a support to hold it in place. .3 3 s. g rid Slide the unsupported end of the ridge profile into the grooves/slots in the top of the gable end. The top portion of the ridge profile should be flush with the outside of the gable end. Now attach the end plate(V11) with pan head screws 4.2 x 13 (S9) Support end or hold it up to step 10: step 10 Insert the glazing in the ridge beam and the soil profile. Then slide it into the Edge Curve. Tip: Peel back the protective film on the glazing only around the edges. This will prevent the panels from getting scratched. It is also a good idea to attach a stabilization angle (pos 3.4) to each of the side curves as you go along. This will help hold everything together. insert the side glazing and slide into the edge curve 25 Assembly procedure - eaves ATTENTION! When using a foundation frame assemble in advance on this soil profile (see pag s 5, 6) to step 11: step 11 shown enlarged side curve (pos. 2.3) First place a side curve up against the edge curve installed on the gable end. You want to match curvature of the edge curve with the side curve. This will ensure that the side curve is installed in the correct direction. Slide the side curve (pos 2.3) into the ridge profile and into the soil profile. Work it down until it is flush with the glazing then work the glazing into it. Tip: A light grease on the plastic sliders may help movement. step 12 If necessary you can use a rubber mallet on the side curve to move it down. Be careful not to damage the aluminum. to step 12: Continue inserting the side glazing and side curves. The connecting plate (V4) is attached from the inside with screw hex M6 x 16 and nut M6. This secures the window crossbar to the greenhouse. Use silicone to seal the end of the crossbar where it meets the curve profile. step 13 to step 3: Insert the remaining glazing panels and side curves. 26 Assembly procedure -eavesATTENTION!

Plug the fan into the thermostat (optional) to control when it turns on. If you are using both a shutter vent and an exhaust fan you will need to purchase a plug splitter and plug them both into the thermostat. For a Riga 4 & 5, we recommend placing the exhaust fan next to rear wall window by placing the unit on top of the cross bar to support the weight, as seen below. For the Riga XL the best placement is above the rear wall door with the weight on the door frame as seen to the left. You may cut the hole in the polycarbonate before or after assembly of the greenhouse. Draw the outline of hole to be cut (only the area protruding from the polycarbonate). Drill a hole in each corner of the panel to insert a finetooth jigsaw blade and cut along the lines. Insert the fan. Drill holes in polycarbonate through the holes in the flange of the fan and hold in place with bolts – use washers on the outside. Once installed, we recommend caulking on the outside with neutral cure silicone caulk such as Boss 399. 37 y! essor c c A l Intake Shutter Vent Installation for RIGA XL, RIGA 4 & RIGA 5 tiona Op You will want your intake shutter vent to be opposite from your exhaust fan (i.e. opposite wall and lower part of the greenhouse) to get the best cross-breeze. They should both be plugged into the thermostat with a plug splitter to engage them simultaneously. We recommend cutting a hole in the polycarbonate to bolt the intake shutter vent to the horizontal bar next to the front door. Measure the protruding dimensions and cut the appropriate size hole in the polycarbonate. You may cut this hole before To cut the hole before installing the installing the polycarbonate (see note to the right). polycarbonate, you may use the following If your greenhouse is assembled, the best way is to measurements as shown above: drill a hole in each of the corners of the section to Riga 4: 16.75"w x 16.5" h Riga 5: 20.75" w x 20.5"h be removed, then insert a jigsaw (fine tooth blade) to cut along your marked lines (note: if you use this method, your measurement will be different than the ones to the right). Step 2: Bolt the “heavy/thick” L-bracket which comes with the vent to the galvanized steel “Tbracket” supplied by us, screw (self-tapping screws) the T-bracket to the bottom of the vent and cross bar (slightly off center). You may want to drill small pilot holes. Attach the “motor” to the “L-bracket” with the 4 black screws. Then follow the instructions provided with the vent. Attach the spring (only 1 is needed) to pull the vent closed at the top in a small hole drilled in the top flange. We have found that it is best to hook the chain over the top of the center bar to pull the vent open. We recommend sealing with a neutral cure silicone caulk (such as Boss 399) on the outside of the greenhouse. 38 Customer Service or Assembly Questions?
