Use and Care Guide

1)
To clean your Safety Shelter use warm water and a damp rag with dish
soap. Thoroughly rinse with water and dry.
2)
Solvents and harsh chemicals should NEVER be used on the Safety
Shelter. They will damage the powder coat finish causing the metal to rust
and will void the Warranty.
3)
NEVER attempt to repair the Safety Shelter yourself. Call the
manufacturer at 800-222-8183.
4)
Once every year lubricate all moving joints on the door latch mechanism
with light (3n1) oil.
Safety Shelter Operation Instructions
1) Children should NEVER be allowed to play near or in the Safety
Shelter.
2)
Your Safety Shelter can be used for many purposes: 1) As a Storm Shelter to
provide near-absolute protection from wind blown debris during a Tornadic
event or sever wind storm, 2) as a panic room or safe place of harbor during a
home invasion or similar type event, and 3) as a vault to store valuable items.
If used as a vault be sure that no items are placed in the Safety Shelter that
would inhibit a person from using it as a Storm Shelter or Panic Room.
3)
Be sure to store the key to the Safety Shelter deadbolt out of reach of
children but where an adult can get to it easily and quickly.
4)
To be ready for any type of event equip your Safety Shelter with a minimum
list of supplies: first aid kit, weather radio (with extra batteries), ear plugs of
the appropriate size and quantity for everyone expected to use the Safety
Shelter, drinking water (approximately one (1) gallon per person), books and
games to keep children occupied, extra flashlights (with extra batteries and
suggest one flashlight for each person using the Safety Shelter). Be sure to
also keep the supplied Wrench (item 32 on page 12) or similar tools, this
manual and the yellow Emergency Exit Instruction Sheet in the Safety Shelter
at all times. Other items could be included as deemed necessary.
5)
Have a family meeting and make an emergency plan. Practice your plan
once a year including entering and exiting the Safety Shelter. This will also
allow everyone an opportunity to become comfortable inside the Safety
Shelter.
6)
You should always take a mobile phone with you into the Safety Shelter so
you can contact emergency help if needed. However, if you forget your
phone during a Tornado Watch or Warning do not leave the Safety Shelter
to retrieve your phone.
