SCH Hide-Away Storm Shelter™ Installation manual – REV 1
Page 4
Open shelter door and shim outer edge temporarily, and loosely tighten all the bolts and nuts.
Once all bolts and nuts are in place, using a pry bar position shelter to final attachment point if
needed. At this time tighten all bolts and nuts, DO NOT OVER TIGHTEN.
Remove door shim and test door opening & closing, adjust door threshold so it clears floor by
1/8” and does not drag against the floor.
Test locking pins for ease of locking and unlocking, see illustration # 6. (On Ballistic units, test
inside locking pin).
With the door closed and locked, push the front shelter from both sides to the closed position.
Using the deployment lever, pull the lever so the shelter unfolds see illustration #3. Watch the
folding action, ground clearance and ease of deployment.
You may have to shim under the back wall or corner, if so do not shim more than ¼”.
