SHELTER CARE AND MAINTENANCE
Proper care and maintenance of your shelter is important.
Check the following items periodically to properly maintain
your shelter.
• Regularly inspect the main cover and panels (if
equipped) to see that these remain tight and in proper
repair.
• Check connections and all fasteners to verify that they
remain tight.
• Do not climb or stand on the shelter at anytime.
• Remove debris and objects that accumulate on the
shelter. Use tools that will not damage the cover when
removing debris.
• Remove snow to prevent excess accumulation. Use
tools that will not damage the cover when removing
snow.
NEVER ALLOW SNOW TO ACCUMULATE ON
THE ASSEMBLED SHELTER.
• Check the contents of the shelter to verify that
nothing is touching the cover, side panels, or the end
panels that could cause damage.
• Check the anchoring system to ensure that all
components are tight and in good repair.
• Review the MUST READ document for anchoring
requirements.
• Inspect all building components regularly. Replace all
worn or damaged parts promptly.
• If the shelter is disassembled and moved, inspect all
parts and connections before reassembling.
• For replacement or missing parts, call 1.800.245.9881
for assistance.

the cover conduit.
NOTE:
It may be necessary to remove excess strap if it
binds up in the ratchet.
10. Repeat the steps for the remaining ratchets.
11. Using additional help (if needed) tighten the main
cover beginning with the ratchets along the sides of the
shelter frame.

and back end ratchets and tighten.

Loosen the ratchets if needed to remove
excess strap and retighten. Loosen all ratchets if
needed to reposition the main cover on the frame and
then retighten the ratchets.
