BEFORE YOU BEGIN....

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 storage building must be anchored to prevent wind

damage. A foundation is also necessary as a base in order to construct a square and level
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 your

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.

PLAN AHEAD....

A3

Watch the Weather: Be sure the day you select to install your building is dry and calm.

Do not attempt to assemble your building on a windy day. Be careful on wet or muddy ground.

Teamwork: Whenever possible, two or more people should work together to assemble

your building. One person can position parts 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,

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 Jnassembling your parts, a foundation should be constructed and
an anchoring system should be ready to use.

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 build-
ing.

•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.

,Do not attempt to assemble the building on a
windy day, because the large panels acting as a
"sair', 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: Always keep the door tracks 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 for 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.

_ swimming pool chemicals in your building. Combustiblesand_

corrosives must be stored in air tight approved containers.

Keep this Owner's Manual and Assembly instructions for future reference.
