Cuscini Design KC21, Pavillion Shelter with Double Rail Beams Step By Step Assembly Instructions

Pavillion Shelter with Double Rail Beams

Step by Step Assembly Instructions

Before You Begin

These installation instructions will lead you through the process of installing your new shelter. The installation of the shelter
requires special attention to certain detail. Before you begin you should:

CHECK YOUR ORDER. Make sure the contents of the carton match the product numbers on your order. Contact your dealer
if there are any damaged, missing or incorrect parts.

PAY ATTENTION TO SAFETY. Because of the size and weight of certain parts, installation is recommended with no fewer
than two people. Always maintain a clean, organized work area.

MAKE SURE YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TOOLS AND MATERIALS. Jardin de Ville supplies the appropriate fasteners upon
request through your dealer for anchoring the shelter securely to the ground. If you are unsure about the required anchoring
system best suited for your shelter, consult your dealer for the proper fastening method.

REVIEW ENTIRE INSTALLATION GUIDE. This step gives you the opportunity to contact your dealer to answer any
questions before you begin.
