UNPACK AND IDENTIFY PARTS

The following steps will ensure that you have all the

necessary parts before you begin to assemble the end

frame.

1. Unpack the contents of the shipment and place where

you can easily inventory the parts. Refer to the Bill of

Materials/Spec Sheets.

2. Verify that all parts listed on the Bill of Materials/Spec

Sheets are present. If anything is missing or you have

questions, consult the Pictorial Parts Guide and all

shelter diagrams for clarification, or contact Customer

Service.

NOTE: At this time, you do not need to open the plastic

SHELTER CARE AND MAINTENANCE

Proper care and maintenance of your ClearSpan™ building

is important. Check the following items periodically to

properly maintain your building:

• Regularly check the main cover and end panels to see

that these remain tight and in proper repair.

• Frequently check the anchoring system and all

components. Replace worn or damaged parts

immediately.

• Check all fasteners frequently to verify that these

remain tight and in good repair.

• Do not climb or stand on the building or frame 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 the cover when removing

snow. Never allow snow to accumulate on the main

cover or to remain against the sides or end panels after

it is removed from the main cover.

• Check the contents of the shelter to verify that

nothing is touching the cover or panels that could

cause damage.

• Replace all worn or damaged parts.

• For replacement or missing parts, call 1-800-245-9881

for assistance.

NOTE: With the exception of Truss Arch buildings,

ClearSpan™ shelters and greenhouses do not have any

tested loading criteria.
