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. Check the door panels and all fasteners to ensure these remain tight and in good condition. To prevent damage or possible injury, do not allow the door panels to remain unlatched or unsecured if they are open. 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.
