Safety Notes

• Please read through this assembly manual completely before beginning your installation. Be sure the proper equipment and safety precautions are in place. We

hope that you enjoy the design features of the PZ-Series frame tent each time the unit is installed.

• Consult your local utility locator service or the National Utility Locating Contractors Association (NULCA) prior to installation.

• Prior to actual tent assembly, be sure to look up, down, above & below for obstacles, pipes, wires, trouble, etc.

• Be alert to avoid contact of frame sections with any overhead power lines near the site.

• Keep site clear of debris to avoid tripping, especially while carrying frame parts or bundle of fabric.

• When moving frame sections by hand, use proper lifting techniques to protect the back, and avoid pinching fi ngers while making hardware connections.

• The installation method described here requires coordination of tasks between workers. A safe installation is dependent on that coordination. Work cooperatively

as a team.

• Be sure all pins and bolts are installed and secured correctly during assembly.

• Ensure that all purlin hooks are correctly seated in their rafter brackets.

• Replace used or damaged components with original new ones.

• To prevent injuries, wear suitable protective clothing such as hard hats, steel toed shoes, etc.

• Do not drag bundle of fabric on concrete, asphalt, or ground as this can cause damage to the fabric from abrasion through the bag.

• This tent is manufactured for use as a temporary structure. Evacuation is recommended if threatening or windy weather occurs. See caution on back page of

this manual.

soil conditions, these are the manufacturer’s suggested sequence of installation procedures. Anchor’s responsibil-

on the site of the tent installation. The number of stakes suggested will, in many cases, keep the tent erected,

however, due to various soil conditions; these stakes will be insufficient to keep the tent secure in high winds. It is

the tent installer’s responsibility, not the manufacturer, to determine the appropriate number of stakes to meet the

necessary wind loads on the site. Regardless of the number of stakes we suggest, we make no representation

or warranty as to whether this specific number of stakes will meet the local tent code. Anchor does not, nor can it

make any suggestions, representation, or warranties about the adequate staking required at each specific installa-

tion site. Staking information provided in the installation instructions is not a suggestion about what is necessary

to meet a site-specific load.
