ANCHOR THE SHELTER
At this point, anchor the shelter. Consult the MUST READ
document for anchoring information and suggestions.
Please call customer service at 1-800-245-9881 for
additional anchoring information.
CAUTION
: The anchor assembly is an integral part
of the shelter construction. Improper anchoring may
cause shelter instability and failure of the shelter to
perform as designed. Failing to anchor the shelter
properly will void the manufacturer’s warranty and may
cause serious injury and damage.
INSTALL OPTIONAL MAIN COVER
Various cover options are available. Purchase the cover
material suited to your application.
Gather the parts:
• Optional cover (additional purchase required)
• Tek screws (purchased separately)
• Fabric clips (purchased separately)
WARNING:
To prevent damage to the cover and to
prevent serious personal injury, DO NOT attempt to
install the cover on windy days.
1. Unfold cover material beside the frame.
2. Pull material over frame and center it end-to-end and
side-to-side.

divide clips accordingly.

frame along sides as shown in the example.

SHELTER CARE AND MAINTENANCE
Proper care and maintenance of your shelter is important.
Check the following items periodically to properly maintain
your shelter:
• Regularly check main cover and panels (if equipped) to
see these remain tight and in proper repair.
• Check connections and all fasteners to verify they
remain tight.
• Do not climb or stand on shelter at anytime.
• Remove debris and objects that may 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 cover when removing snow.
• Check contents to verify nothing is touching cover or
side panels that could cause damage.
• Check anchoring system to ensure all components are
tight and in good repair.
• If shelter is moved, inspect all parts and connections
before reassembling.
• For replacement or missing parts, call 1-800-245-9881
