Anchor CENTURY 50 WIDE - Manual (Page 11)

Anchor products are of superior design and operate best within the parameters of these instructions. It is imperative
that the instructions be carefully read and COMPLETELY FOLLOWED. Please read installation instructions before the
installation or removal of this product. Installation instructions are available online at www.anchorinc.com or by calling
1-800-544-4445.
CAUTION:
1. For each installation, the installer is solely responsible for evaluating the site and the proper securing method
determined. Some soils require different staking or securing than that provided with the tent. Due to this variety of
soil conditions, these are the manufacturer’s suggested sequence of installation procedures. Anchor’s responsibility
is limited to the manufacture of the tent parts and materials. We are not responsible for methods that installers may
choose to erect and secure the tent to the ground.
2. The number of stakes suggested in the installation instructions do not necessarily meet all or any relevant codes
on the site of the tent installation. The number of stakes suggested will, in many cases, keep the tent erected,
however, due to various soil conditions; these stakes will be insuf¿ cient to keep the tent secure in high winds.
It is the tent installer’s responsibility, not the manufacturer, to determine the appropriate number of stakes to meet
the necessary wind loads on the site. Regardless of the number of stakes we suggest, we make no representation
or warranty as to whether this speci¿ c number of stakes will meet the local tent code. Anchor does not, nor can
it make any suggestions, representation, or warranties about the adequate staking required at each speci¿ c
installation site. Staking information provided in the installation instructions is not a suggestion about what is
necessary to meet a site-speci¿ c load.
For additional important information, consult: “The IFAI Procedural Handbook For the Safe Installation and
Maintenance of Tentage” and the IFAI Pocket Guide “Pullout Capacity of Tent Stakes”, both available from
the IFAI Tent Rental Division or on our website.
3. Inasmuch as the weather is unpredictable, good judgment and common sense must be incorporated within
installation guidelines. It is the responsibility of the tent installer/maintainer to determine the severity of the weather,
proper time and method of installation and/or erection and disassembly. Note: We recommend that snow and
ice be removed from the tent surface as soon as possible because accumulation will damage the tent
or fabric structure. Please consult with our Engineering Department about the maximum loads for each
product.
This product has been manufactured for use as a temporary structure. For the safety of all occupants, evacuation
is recommended if threatening weather occurs, or if there is any doubt concerning the safe use of this product.
4. Proper safety equipment should be used at all times to insure a safe installation and take down. We suggest a
careful evaluation be made to determine safety equipment needed, such as hard hats, steel-toe shoes, safety
glasses and other as required. It is our desire that all installations are safe. Please be aware of hidden dangers
both underground, i.e., gas lines, water lines, electrical lines, etc. and above the tent such as power lines and
telephone lines.
5. Anchor stands behind its products in accordance with its standard Terms and Conditions of sale. A copy of our
