MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE
1. One Week Inspection
a. The key visual indicator of adequate tension in the building fabric cover and end wall
panel is to ensure all creases and wrinkles in the fabric are removed. Check the ratchet
straps for tightness and adjust as necessary. Refer to step 9 of cover installation manual
for recommended torque settings for 1" and 2" ratchets.
b. Punctures in the fabric cover caused by accidental damage should be repaired
immediately. The fabric requires a product specific heat seam weld repair. Contact your
local Sioux Steel Pro-Tec® building dealer or manufacturer to schedule service.
c. Ensure all tension cables are taut. Cables should not sag. Adjust turnbuckles as
necessary.
2. Installation Adjustment
a. The building and end wall panels cover on your SIOUX PRO-TEC® Sentry Building
may relax after installation. It is critical to keep the cover taut (snug) over the rafters and
end wall panels taut over end wall framing to prevent wear and ensure a long life. Tighten
ratchets and adjust cables as required.
3. Annual Maintenance
a. Repeat 1 Week Inspection (listed above) a minimum of (4) times a year.
b. Visually inspect each cross cable for signs of wear and check turnbuckle tension.
Replace and/ or tighten as necessary.
c. Check all base plate anchor studs and nuts to assure they are tight.
d. Check all ratchet mount and winch bolts and nuts to assure they are tight.
e. Check for premature wear of fabric cover, especially where tension is applied and where
there is direct contact with the buildings steel frame.
f. Check for premature deterioration of the corrosion protection on the building components.
NOTE: Building covers and end wall panels installed in cooler weather may relax more
than covers installed in warm weather. Check tightness on covers and end wall panels
installed in cooler weather on the first available sunny day and adjust cables as
necessary. Severe weather conditions may also affect your cover, check cover after such
conditions occur.
NOTE: Failure to carry out above steps will invalidate the warranty.
WARNING: FLAMMABLE MATERIAL
EXPOSURE TO ANY HEAT SOURCE FOR ANY LENGTH OF TIME COULD RESULT IN DAMAGE TO
THE FABRIC COVER OR END PANEL MATERIAL. EXHAUST GASES, SPACE HEATER, WELDING
SPARKS, ETC. SHOULD NOT BE ALLOWED TO GET NEAR THE FABRIC PORTION OF
STRUCTURE. SIOUX STEEL COMPANY WILL NOT BE RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DAMAGES OR
LIABILITIES RESULTING FROM FAILURE TO HEED THIS WARNING. THE COVER OR END PANEL
MATERIAL STARTS TO DETERIORATE AT EXPOSURE TO 180° TEMPERATURE FOR ANY
LENGTH OF TIME. PREVENT PROLONGED CONTACT FROM ANY HEAT SOURCE TO ENSURE
MAXIMUM PROTECTION TO THIS MATERIAL. FOR ANY FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT
