SAFETY SUMMARY
The following general safety precautions are not related to any specic procedure and do not appear elsewhere in this manual. These are
recommended precautions that personnel should understand and apply during various phases of setup, operation, and maintenance.
KEEP AWAY FROM LIVE CIRCUITS
Operation and maintenance personnel must, at all times, observe all safety regulations. Do not replace components
or make adjustments inside electrical equipment with the voltage applied. Under certain conditions, dangerous
potentials may exist when the power control is in the OFF position. To prevent casualties always remove power,
discharge, and ground a circuit before touching it. Adhere to all lock-out and tag-out requirements.
RESUSCITATION
Personnel working with or near high-voltage and/or hazardous chemicals should be familiar with modern methods of
resuscitation.
DO NOT SERVICE OR ADJUST ALONE
Under no circumstances should any person service or adjust equipment except in the presence of someone who is
capable of rendering aid.
CLEANERS, CHEMICALS, PAINTS, VINYL ADHESIVES, AND PRIMERS
Cleaners, chemicals, paints, vinyl adhesives, and primers are toxic and can cause death or irritation to eyes, skin,
lungs, nose, throat. Avoid eye and skin contact. Avoid breathing vapors.
USE SAFETY-APPROVED EQUIPMENT
Cleaners, chemicals, and primers are ammable. Exercise care when applying cleaners, chemicals, and primers
to protect against re. Use only approved blowers, explosion-proof lights, and other equipment to prevent possible
ignition of ammable materials. Ensure re extinguishers are readily available and in good working order.
DO NOT WEAR JEWELRY
Remove rings, watches, and other jewelry or metallic objects which may snag on equipment and cause serious injury.
PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT
Protective equipment consisting of industrial goggles, rubber gloves, and a respirator is required when toxic materials
are present. However, unique local conditions may make wearing personal protective equipment unnecessary or
impractical. Consult local codes for an evaluation or personal protective equipment requirements. Leather gloves
should be used when assembling the steel base and frame sections to prevent injury to personnel.
LIFT WARNING
Two people are required to remove or replace assemblies weighing 80 pounds or more. Injury or damage to
equipment may result if personnel fail to observe WARNING.

to a procedure, process, or step that may pose a
potential hazard to the operator.
Death or serious injury to personnel may result if a
warning is not observed.
Cautions contain precautionary information related
to a procedure, process, or step that may pose a
potential risk of damage to equipment.
Damage to equipment may result if a caution is not
observed.
WARNINGWARNING CAUTIONCAUTION
OBSERVE WIND AND SNOW LOADS
Important Instruction Regarding Load Limits: Buyer understands that the Shelter is not to be used in certain weather
conditions. This shelter is not engineered to meet a wind speed or snow load and should be placed against or inside
an existing building. Buyer agrees to indemnify Seller against any injury, death, loss, or property damage of any kind
resulting in whole or in part from Buyer’s failure to comply with these requirements.
Safety precautions are provided for specic procedures or operations throughout this technical manual. It is important to completely read and
understand all safety information prior to beginning any assembly or maintenance procedures.
Safety precautions are listed by category and are indicated with the following symbols:

2-4. RECOMMENDED SITE DIMENSIONS FOR EASIEST
INSTALLATION
Check with persons familiar with the site for locations
of underground electrical, gas, or water lines to
determine the best location of the base frame when
using the 18" double-headed spikes or hammer drill.
The user is responsible for anchoring the building
to resist all wind loads expected to be encountered,
even if this requires the use of additional anchors or
anchoring techniques not supplied with this building
or included in this manual.
WARNINGWARNING
This chapter provides the procedures necessary to select and prepare
an appropriate site for the building. Choose a site at least ve feet larger in length and width than the size
of your building. For laydown of materials and easiest installation, it’s
recommended that an additional ve feet around the footprint of the
building be free of debris and obstructions during installation.
Choose a relatively level site location with appropriate space.
Ensure the area is free of any debris or sharp objects and make as
smooth and level as possible. Ensure there is adequate room for all
equipment necessary for building assembly, use, and maintenance
throughout the life of the building.
Clear all trees, brush, rocks, and other debris from the site. Fill in
any holes in the ground around the perimeter of the area where the
building will be placed.
Ensure the ground has holding power to sufciently hold spikes and
earth anchors, if applicable. Ensure bedrock or any other hard object
is not under the topsoil that could prevent the double-headed spike
from being fully driven into the ground.
If installing the building on a wooden platform, ensure the platform
is complete and anchored to the ground prior to beginning building
assembly.
If installing the building on a concrete pad, ensure the pad is complete
prior to beginning building assembly.
Ensure the site is clear of overhead obstructions.

CAUTIONCAUTION
CAUTIONCAUTION
Locate the anchoring package included with the building.
Use spikes only if anchoring the building to ground or asphalt.
Drive a spike through each pre-drilled anchor hole in the base frame
(Figure 3-3). Ensure the base frame does not move while driving the
spikes. Install a spike in each anchor hole.
If spikes are used, it may be necessary to install earth anchors to
resist uplift (see 3-3.4. Earth Anchor Installation).
Use concrete anchor bolts only if anchoring the building to a concrete
foundation.
Select a carbide drill bit. Using the base frame as a template, drill the
concrete at each anchor hole location. Use a hammer drill equipped
with a masonry bit. Drill the hole to a depth greater than the desired
embedment.
Remove the base frame and clean all debris from the hole.
Place the washer and nut over the anchor. Leave the end of the
nut ush with the end of the anchor to protect the anchor threads
(Figure 3-4).
Drive the anchor through the hole in the base frame and concrete until
the washer is ush against the surface of the base frame. Expand the
anchor by tightening the nut 3-5 turns past the hand-tighten position.

Use earth anchors if the building is anchored to ground, asphalt, or
wood and additional uplift resistance is required. After anchoring the
base frame, secure the base frame at the arch stubs using the earth
anchors.
Insert a drive rod into anchor, to the inside of the base frame, next to
the arch stubs. Drive into ground as far as possible. Make sure the
anchor is driven into the ground far enough, leaving just enough cable
to loop around the arch stub tight against the base.
Remove drive rod and pull up on the cable to turn anchor sideways
below ground as shown (Figure 3-6).
Wrap the cable around the arch stub and secure with (2) ¼" cable
clamps (Figure 3-7).
Use lag bolts only when anchoring the building to a wood foundation.
Ensure the wooden beams are fully secured to the ground.
Drill a pilot hole into the wood foundation at each anchor hole location
to prevent the wood from splitting.
Insert the lag bolt with a at washer and tighten the bolt (Figure 3-5).
If lag bolts are used, it is necessary to install earth anchors to resist
uplift (see 3-3.4. Earth Anchor Installation).

corresponding arch stub. Repeat procedure for remaining arches.
Wear personal protective equipment (PPE) as
required by the site safety coordinator while lifting
arches and installing purlins and other frame
components overhead.
When using a ladder, one installer should hold the
ladder steady while the other installer climbs.
Beware of spring tension on frame members.
WARNINGWARNING
Use caution while standing arches. Follow all safety
requirements during this procedure.
Fully insert all arch sections into arch stubs before
proceeding to purlin installation.

the end wall straps through the base loops and secure, using the
alligator clips (Figure 3-11).
Remove tie pins. Disconnect purlins from the end arch, one purlin at
a time (Figure 3-11). Raise the end wall up and, starting at the center,
place the edge of the end wall over the end arch. Align the exposed
contour cable at the cutouts with the purlin brackets and place the
contour cable below the purlin brackets. Reconnect each purlin and
re-secure with tie pins.
