Owner's Manual
Before beginning construction, check local building codes regarding footings, location and other requirements. Study and understand this owner's manual. Important information and helpful tips will make your construction easier and more enjoyable.
Assembly Instructions: Instructions are supplied in this manual and contain all
appropriate information for your building model. Review all instructions before you begin, and during assembly, follow the step sequence carefully for correct results.
Foundation and Anchoring: Your stor age building must be anchored to prev ent wind
damage. A f oundation is also necessary as a base in order to construct a square and lev el building. Anchoring and foundation materials are not included with your building. We recommend the combined use of an Arrow Floor Foundation Kit and an Arrow Anchoring Kit as an effective method of securing your building to the ground (Available by mail order or at your local dealer) or you may construct the foundation and anchoring system of your choice. Your assembly instructions provide information on a few methods commonly used to secure and level a storage building.
Parts and Parts List: Check to be sure that you have all the necessary parts for y our
building.
•All part numbers can be found on the parts. All of these numbers (before the -) must agree with the numbers on the parts list. The parts list is located on page 12.
•If you find that a part is missing, include the model number of your building and contact:
Arrow Group Industries, Inc. Customer Service Department Route 50 East Breese, Illinois 62230 1-800-851-1085
•Separate contents of the carton by the part number while reviewing parts list. The first few steps show how to join related parts to make larger sub assemblies which will be used later.
•Familiarize yourself with the hardware and fasteners for easier use during construction. These are packaged within the carton. Note that extra fasteners have been supplied for your convenience.
2
PLAN AHEAD....
A3
W atch the W eather: Be sure the da y you select to install y our building is dry and calm.
Do not attempt to assemble your building on a windy day. Be careful on wet or muddy ground.
Teamwork: Whenev er possible, two or more people should work together to assemble
your building. One person can position par ts or panels while the other is able to handle the fasteners and the tools.
Tools and Materials: These are some basic tools and materials you will need for the
construction of your building. Decide which method of anchoring and the type of foundation you wish to use in order to form a complete list of the materials you will need.
Required
• Eye Goggles
• No. 2 Phillips Screwdriver
(With Hardened Magnetic Tip) Note: A power screwdriver or vari­able speed drill with Phillips-tip at­tachment can speed assembly by as much as 40%.
• Work Gloves
• Step Ladder
• Utility Knife / Scissors
• Pliers
• Carpenter's Level
• Tape Measure
Required
Optional Time-Savers
• Wrench / Nut Driver
• Electric / Cordless Drill
• Square
• String (for squaring frame)
Foundation Preparation
• Hammer and Nails
• Spade or Shovel
• Hand Saw / Power Saw
• Lumber and/or Concrete
Selecting and Preparing Your Site: Before assembly, you will want to decide on
a location for your building. The best location is a level area with good drainage.
•Allow enough working space for ease of moving parts into position during assembly. Be sure there will be enough space at entrance for doors to open fully and enough space around the building to be able to fasten the panel screws from the outside.
•Before you begin the first steps in assembling your parts, a foundation should be constructed and an anchoring system should be ready to use.
3
SAFETY FIRST....
A4
Safety precautions are important to follow throughout the construction of your building.
•Care must be taken when handling various pieces of your building since some contain sharp edges. Please wear work gloves, eye protection and long sleeves when assembling or performing any maintenance on your build­ing.

•Keep children and pets away from worksite to avoid distractions and any accidents which may occur.
•Practice caution with the tools being used in the assembly of this building. Be familiar with the operation of all power tools.
•Do not attempt to assemble the building if parts are missing because any building left partially assembled may be seriously damaged by light winds. Call 1-800-851-1085
•Never concentrate your total weight on the roof of the building. When using a step ladder make sure that it is fully open and on even ground before climbing on it.
4
•Do not attempt to assemble the building on a windy day, because the large panels acting as a "sail", can be whipped about by the wind making construction difficult and unsafe.
CARE & MAINTENANCE....
A5 Web
Finish: For long lasting finish, periodically clean and wax the exterior surface. Touch-
up scratches as soon as you notice them on your unit. Immediately clean the area with a wire brush; wash it and apply touch-up paint per manufacturer's recommendation.
Roof: Keep roof clear of leaves and snow with long handled, soft-bristled broom. Heavy
amounts of snow on roof can damage building making it unsafe to enter. In snow country, Roof Strengthening Kits are available for most Arrow Buildings for added protection against heavy snow accumulation.
Doors: Alwa ys k eep the door tr acks clear of dirt and other debris that prevent them from
sliding easily. Lubricate door track annually with furniture polish or silicone spray. Keep doors closed and locked to prevent wind damage.
Fasteners: Use all washers supplied to protect against weather infiltration and to protect
the metal from being scratched by screws . Regularly check your building f or loose screws , bolts, nuts, etc. and retighten them as necessary.
Moisture: A plastic sheet (vapor barrier) placed under the entire floor area with good
ventilation will reduce condensation.
Other Tips....
• Wash off inked part numbers on coated panels with soap and water.
• Silicone caulking may be used for watertight seals throughout the building.
Do not store swimming pool chemicals in your building. Combustibles and corrosives must be stored in air tight approved containers.
Keep this Owner's Manual and Assembly Instructions for future reference.

The Foundation For Your Building
OPTION 1: ARROW FLOOR FOUNDATION KIT: (Order No. FB1014-A or 68387-A)
Arrow has the best base for your building in this simple kit. It keeps stored items above the ground. This foundation should be used with one of the following:
A. To support a plywood deck B. To be filled with sand. We recommend the combined use of
1. an ARROW FLOOR FOUNDATION KIT and 2. an ARROW ANCHORING KIT as an effective method of securing the building to the ground. Allow 1 - 2 hours for construction.

Installing the roof panels is best done with a step ladder. Install the first roof panel at the back right corner of the building. Each screw and bolt in the roof requires a washer.
NOTE
Measure the building diagonally
again and make adjustments to make sure the building is square and level. This will make the roof
panels fit better, and holes will
align. Don't anchor the floor frame.
NOTE
If a Roof Beef-Up Kit was
purchased, assemble prior to
attaching the roof panels.

SOME FACTS ABOUT RUST
SOME FACTS ABOUT RUST
Rusting is a natural oxidizing process that occurs when bare metal is exposed to moisture. Problem areas include screw holes, unfinished edges, or where scrapes and nicks occur in the protective coating through normal assembly, handling and use. Identifying these natural rusting problem areas and taking some simple rust protection precautions can help to stop rust from developing, or stop it quickly as soon as it appears.
1. Avoid nicking or scraping the coating surface, inside and out.
2. Use all the washers supplied. In addition to pro­tecting against weather infiltration, the washers pro­tect the metal from being scraped by the screws.
3. Keep roof, base perimeter and door tracks free of debris and leaves which may accumulate and retain moisture. These can do double damage since they give off acid as they decay.
4. Touch up scrapes or nicks and any area of visible rust as soon as possible. Make sure the surface is free of moisture, oils, dirt or grime and then apply an even film of high quality touch-up paint.
