THANK YOU FOR CHOOSING A SOUTHERN ILLINOIS STORM
SHELTER. YOUR SHELTER IS CONSTRUCTED OF FIBERGLASS,
STAINLESS STEEL, AND COMPOSITE MATERIALS PROUDLY
MADE IN THE U.S.A. TO PROVIDE YOU WITH A LIFETIME OF
PROTECTION AND DURABILITY.

CARE AND USE
Now that your Southern Illinois Storm Shelter has been installed, we like to
share a few tips for proper care.
YOUR SHELTER MAY SWEAT: Sweating may occur until the inside
temperature balances with the temperature of the ground. The conditions
for sweating are favorable. The interior finish is easy to clean with a damp
cloth. Cleaning the inside of the shelter with a damp cloth followed by a dry
cloth will reduce condensation. If your carpet becomes damp simply
remove from shelter and place outside to dry. (This is an all weather carpet
and moisture will not affect it.)
RUBBER DOOR SEAL: We recommend using a silicon spray lubricant on
the seal about twice a year. This can be purchased at any auto parts store.
This will prevent the seal from dry rotting and cracking.
MOWING AND WEEDEATING: Use caution when mowing and trimming
around your shelter. Both can cause serious damage if you should come in
contact with the shelter.
BACKFILLING: IT IS THE CUSTOMERS RESPONSIBILTY TO BACKFILL
AND MAINTAIN THE PROPER LEVEL OF DIRT AROUND THEIR SHELTER.
THE DIRT WILL SETTLE AFTER IT RAINS, IMPROPER BACKFILING COULD
RESULT IN THE SHELTER RISING OUT OF THE GROUND. IF THE SHELTER
SHOULD COME UP AND NEED TO BE RESET WE WILL CHARGE FOR
THIS!
*****WARNING*****
You should never burn any type of fuel or oil lamp inside your shelter. For
your best interest, you should never burn anything inside your shelter that
might give off toxic fumes. You should also never have any type of
solvents such as paint thinner, acetone, toluene etc. inside of the shelter.
Never drive a vehicle or heavy equipment closer than 48 inches to the
shelter after it has been installed. This will prevent any unnecessary
damage.
