UNPACK AND IDENTIFY PARTS
The following steps will ensure that you have all the
necessary parts before you begin to assemble the end
frame.
1. Unpack the contents of the shipment and place where
you can easily inventory the parts. Refer to the Bill of
Materials/Spec Sheets.
2. Verify that all parts listed on the Bill of Materials/Spec
Sheets are present. If anything is missing or you have

SHELTER CARE AND MAINTENANCE
Proper care and maintenance of your ClearSpan™ building
is important. Check the following items periodically to
properly maintain your building:
• Regularly check the main cover and end panels to see
that these remain tight and in proper repair.
• Frequently check the anchoring system and all
components. Replace worn or damaged parts
immediately.
• Check all fasteners frequently to verify that these
remain tight and in good repair.
• Do not climb or stand on the building or frame at
anytime.
• Remove debris and objects that may accumulate on
the shelter. Use tools that will not damage the cover
when removing debris.
• Remove snow to prevent excess accumulation. Use
tools that will not damage the cover when removing
snow. Never allow snow to accumulate on the main
cover or to remain against the sides or end panels after
it is removed from the main cover.
• Check the contents of the shelter to verify that
nothing is touching the cover or panels that could
cause damage.
• Replace all worn or damaged parts.
• For replacement or missing parts, call 1-800-245-9881
for assistance.

NOTE: If main cover is installed, detach the main cover
from the end rafter. Reinstall main cover after end film
has been installed.
2. Unfold and position the end film over the end rafter. Drape some of the material over the top rafter leaving enough
to reach the ground plus 6" - 12". Center the film so equal excess material is on each side of the shelter. Tape can
be used to temporarily hold material in place if needed.
3. Once end film is in position, attach the film to the end rafter starting at the top of the end rafter. If U-channel is
present, work your way down each side and wiggle the wire spring back and forth to seat the spring into the
previously installed U-channel. Holding the film in place and pull it tight while working down the end rafter.

Always wear eye protection when
installing the 102198 spring!
CAUTION: Risk of Injury
DO NOT REMOVE TOO MUCH OF THE
EXCESS FILM MATERIAL. Some excess
end film material–the material that extends

in place. If the film needs stretched in
the future, remove the spring from the
U-channel, grasp the excess material, pull
the film tight, and reinstall the spring.
