Thank You for Purchasing a TopTec Tent

If you have questions about installation, maintenance, or take down, please call us at [phone]. Our goal
is that you are completely satisfied with our products. Please read this installation manual carefully and follow
all instructions contained herein. Please note that the installer is responsible for the site selection, installation,
and use. Do not erect during inclement weather and follow all safety procedures during the installation and
take down process.

Please contact all utility companies for underground services. In many states, the utilities work together and
have formed a Utility Locating Service. It is your responsibility to locate all underground services, including
speaking to the owner about irrigation, pool and other special services that they may have installed. Also,
please note that special precautions should be taken such that any overhead powerlines are duly noted and
avoided during the tent erection process.

To provide the quickest possible service, please fill in the information below so that we may effectively help
you should a problem arise.

Size

TopTec Products, LLC in no way represents the estimated holding power to be true in all
cases. It is an estimate, and as such does not imply that the figures are sufficient to hold
any tent securely in windy or adverse weather conditions. The tent installer accepts sole
responsibility for the safe installation, teardown, and maintenance of any tent. TopTec does
not represent in any way that the materials provided with the purchase of the tent are
sufficient enough to hold it up in windy or adverse weather conditions. There is no way for
TopTec to know the site conditions or the weather conditions at the event to be able to
recommend the adequate amount of holding power needed to hold the tent safely in
position. Furthermore, we are not responsible for the methods which the installer uses to
erect the tent or anchor it in position. Installers MUST be empowered to deem the tent
unsafe for occupancy if/when the weather becomes unstable. For further
recommendations on determining necessary staking values, please consult the IFAI
Procedural Handbook for the Safe Installation and Maintenance of Tentage and the IFAI's
Pullout Capacity of Tent Stakes. These resources are available from the IFAI Tent Rental
Division.

Important Notes for Pre-Installation

Note the locations of any potential obstacles or hazards, per the site survey that should have been conducted prior to
this installation. Please note that special precautions should be taken such that any overhead power lines are
duly noted and avoided during the tent erection process. Accordingly, define what will be the perimeter of the
tent. Lay out the general size of the tent by measuring and matching the ground surface with the size of tent that will
be placed there.

Establish which side of the tent is to be raised first. To have the tent located in the right position when finished, you
must start the layout about 2' away from the first side you plan to raise. This procedure will keep the installer from
having to move the tent much when it's on its legs.

Future Trac tents should be installed starting at one end and then progress through each mid section to the opposite
end. With the Future Trac system, once the roof portion of the frame is assembled and sitting on the ground, the
installer has the option of installing the fabric and then lifting the complete unit OR lifting just the roof frame and
installing the legs prior to pulling the tops into position.
