9.1.1 Homeowner User Manual 房主用户手册

Besides engaging a trained renovation contractor, homeowners should have a ready reference of the PPVC system used in the unit. It is good practice for developers/builders to provide a homeowner user manual of the PPVC upon completion of the project. The homeowner and subsequent buyers of the unit should obtain a copy of the homeowner user manual after taking over the unit and follow the recommendations on maintenance and renovation to PPVC units provided in the manual.

除了雇佣一个训练有素的装修承包商，业主应该有一个现成的参考PPVC系统在单位使用。在项目完成后，发展商/建筑商应提供业主使用PPVC的手册。业主和该单元的后续买家在接收该单元后，应获得一份《业主使用手册》，并遵循手册中提供的关于PPVC单元的维护和翻新建议。

The information in the homeowner user manual could include (but not limited to) the following:
