inadequate building wall construction could result in serious injury or death, as well as premature product
wear, product failure or property damage.

Make sure lifting devices are in good condition and have a rated capacity of at least 500 lbs. at the lifting angle
being used. Never allow anyone to stand on or near the dock shelter component when it is lifted or placed.
Failure to follow this warning could result in serious personal injury or death to bystanders if component
unexpectedly falls, tips or swings. If you have any questions contact your supervisor or your local Serco
distributor for assistance.
Assembly of components should be performed in such a way so as to maintain cleanliness of equipment before
final installation. Lifting equipment to be determined by installer (man lift and forklift or boom lift typical). Wear

WARNING
MANDATORY INSTALLATION NOTE:
To insure proper functioning of the S-900DD DryDock rain seal system, this rigid frame dock shelter must
be applied so that top of shelter is in a range of from 14’-10” to 15’-2 off grade. Installation of the top of
the shelter at less than 14’-10” off grade may result in damage to the DryDock. Installation of the top of
the shelter at greater than 15’-2” of grade will reduce or eliminate the DryDock’s rain sealing
effectiveness. Correctness of product sizing for various applications must be established at the time of
equipment order.
