Demonstrate use: 

Take plenty of time to show and demonstrate the folding and unfolding of the shelter. Show 
the customer the procedure in the owner’s manual on how to use shelter, follow the procedure 
several times to insure the customer knows how to properly use the shelter. Discuss with the 
customer to deploy the shelter in plenty of time when weather conditions are likely to produce 
severe storms or tornados. 

For ballistic shelter use discuss the importance of securing the door from the inside to prevent 
being opened from the outside. Also explain the importance of installing the lower side wall 
braces, as they shelter the lower gap on the side wall. Explain the importance of rapid 
deployment and locking the inside.
