REQUIRED TOOLS
The following list identifies the main tools needed to
assemble the shelter. Additional tools and supports may be
needed depending on the structure, location, and
application.
• Tape measure or measuring device
• Hammers and gloves
• Ladders, work platforms, and other machinery for lifting
designed to work safely at the height of the shelter.
QUICK START DIAGRAMS
For a quick overview of the shelter and its components,
consult the Quick Start diagrams at the back of these
instructions.
Continue with
FRAME ASSEMBLY
procedures that follow.
UNPACK AND IDENTIFY PARTS
The following steps will ensure that you have all the
necessary parts
before
you begin to assemble the shelter.
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
questions, consult the Pictorial Parts Guide and all
shelter diagrams for clarification, or contact Customer
Service at 1-800-245-9881.
NOTE:
At this time, you do not need to open the plastic
bags containing smaller parts such as fasteners or
washers.
ALTERNATIVE ASSEMBLY INFORMATION
These instructions describe assembling the entire roof
section of the shelter first. The frame is then lifted and the
legs added. For long shelters or when limited assistance
is available, constructing the frame and legs in sections
suitable for lifting and moving and working from one end to
the other is an alternative assembly method. (This method
is not shown.)
To assembly the frame in sections, read these instructions
first and adapt the steps as needed. Consult all diagrams
and the Quick Start section of this manual to better
understand how the frame is assembled before you begin.
Install the main cover as a single unit after the frame is
assembled and anchored.
