GENERAL INFORMATION

Foundation for Sentry Building: In all cases, the soil and foundation must be sufficiently stable and deemed suitable to support the forces produced by the structure. It is recommended that the customer consult a quali fied engineer to certify the soil conditions and foundat ion design for their location. Soil and foundation must be able to withstand forces which meet or exceed the structural forces. Contact Sioux Steel Company or your dealer for building specific structural forces. Site Conditions for Sentry Building: The installation site must be sufficiently level to permit uniform wall assembly on a support foundation. In all cases, the area surrounding the Sentry Building must provide sufficient drainage to prevent soil erosion around the foundation. The structure has been designed to meet 90 mph exposure C wind load and 30, 40, and 50 psf (16', 12', & 10' rafter spacing respectively) ground snow load , for open terrain with obstructions having heights generally less than 30 feet. This terrain must extend upwind for a distance greater than 2600 feet. The building must be positioned at least 20 feet away from existing structures with a higher eave to prevent excessive load from drifting snow. Contact your insurance agent prior to assembly to i nsure you are covered in case of inadvertent accidents that may occur during erectio n. NOTE: Sioux Steel Company is not responsible o r liable for:

- Any damage or failure that may occur due to i ncorrect erection of building. - Any soil analysis or foundation design, - Substitution of components not specified in t he construction manual that lead to damage or failure. - Unstable soil conditions or foundation that l ead to structure damage or failure. - Damage caused by leaning sidewalls . - Any modification of design or structure. - Any bodily injury that occurs during the asse mbly of the building or as a result of modification to the design or impr oper construction. - Caustic or corrosive environments that lead t o structure deterioration, damage or failure. - See warranty in structure manual.

MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE

1. One Week Inspection a. The key visual indicator of adequate tension in the building fabric cover and end wall

panel is to ensure all creases and wrinkles in the fabric are removed. Check the ratchet straps for tightness and adjust as necessary. Refer to step 9 of cover installation manual for recommended torque settings for 1" and 2" ratchets.

b. Punctures in the fabric cover caused by accidental damage should be repaired

immediately. The fabric requires a product specific heat seam weld repair. Contact your local Sioux Steel Pro-Tec® building dealer or manufacturer to schedule service.

c. Ensure all tension cables are taut. Cables should not sag. Adjust turnbuckles as

necessary.

2. Installation Adjustment a. The building and end wall panels cover on your SIOUX PRO-TEC® Sentry Building

may relax after installation. It is critical to keep the cover taut (snug) over the rafters and end wall panels taut over end wall framing to prevent wear and ensure a long life. Tighten ratchets and adjust cables as required.

3. Annual Maintenance

a. Repeat 1 Week Inspection (listed above) a minimum of (4) times a year. b. Visually inspect each cross cable for signs of wear and check turnbuckle tension.

Replace and/ or tighten as necessary. c. Check all base plate anchor studs and nuts to assure they are tight. d. Check all ratchet mount and winch bolts and nuts to assure they are tight. e. Check for premature wear of fabric cover, especially where tension is applied and where

there is direct contact with the buildings steel frame. f. Check for premature deterioration of the corrosion protection on the building components.

NOTE: Building covers and end wall panels installed in cooler weather may relax more than covers installed in warm weather. Check tight ness on covers and end wall panels installed in cooler weather on the first available sunny day and adjust cables as necessary. Severe weather conditions may also affe ct your cover, check cover after such conditions occur.

NOTE: Failure to carry out above steps will invalid ate the warranty. WARNING: FLAMMABLE MATERIAL EXPOSURE TO ANY HEAT SOURCE FOR ANY LENGTH OF TIME COULD RESULT IN DAMAGE TO THE FABRIC COVER OR END PANEL MATERIAL. EXHAUST GA SES, SPACE HEATER, WELDING SPARKS, ETC. SHOULD NOT BE ALLOWED TO GET NEAR THE FABRIC PORTION OF STRUCTURE. SIOUX STEEL COMPANY WILL NOT BE RESPONS IBLE FOR ANY DAMAGES OR LIABILITIES RESULTING FROM FAILURE TO HEED THIS WAR NING. THE COVER OR END PANEL MATERIAL STARTS TO DETERIORATE AT EXPOSURE TO 180° TEMPERATURE FOR ANY LENGTH OF TIME. PREVENT PROLONGED CONTACT FROM ANY HEAT SOURCE TO ENSURE MAXIMUM PROTECTION TO THIS MATERIAL. FOR ANY FURTH ER INFORMATION CONTACT SIOUX STEEL COMPANY.
