SAFETY AND HAZARD INSTRUCTIONS
CAUTION:
Read the following safety warnings and all instructions in their entirety prior to installation. If you have
questions or are missing any parts, contact Mid-South Metal Products, Inc. (DBA, VersaTube Building
Systems) Customer Service at 1-800-900-7222 before proceeding.
WARNING:
This structure and its manufactured components are engineered per the instructions and engineering plans
provided by VersaTube Building Systems. The use of any framing components or materials in the erection
of this structure that are not produced or provided by VersaTube could negatively affect the structural in-
tegrity and will negate any warranty provisions. VersaTube Building Systems and its authorized dealers
are not responsible for any structural collapse or failure to perform resulting from additions, add-ons, or
manipulation of non-VersaTube components and/or failure to follow approved instructions.
WARNING:
Metal parts may get hot when exposed to high heat or direct sunlight. Avoid contact with skin and wear
protective gloves and clothing to prevent the possibility of burns.
WARNING:
Do not stand or walk on the structure. It is not designed to support human weight or the storage of
materials on the roof. Collapse of the structure may cause serious injury due to weight of components.
WARNING:
Avoid installation on windy days as wind may create hazards during the installation process. Wind may
blow material or cause partially installed components to collapse prior to being secured or fully installed.
The weight of the components or structure may cause serious injury if it should collapse.
WARNING:
Metal conducts electricity and electrical shock hazards exist since the structure is made of metal. During
installation or storage, keep the structure and all components away from electrical sources. Make sure that
your selected location is away from power lines, underground cables, and any other source of electrical
power. Serious injury or even death may occur if contact is made with electrical current.
WARNING:
If the structure is moved once it has been installed, be certain to inspect all components and conditions
and follow each and every step of these instructions to make certain that the structure is securely
anchored, properly installed, and aligned. Failure to follow these steps could lead to collapse of the
structure and may result in serious risk of injury.
WARNING:
In the event that your structure is enclosed, be sure to provide proper and adequate ventilation and egress
and ingress. Hazardous, poisonous or noxious substances should not be stored in the structures absent
proper ventilation and the following all warnings and instructions of the manufacturer of the substance.
Also, proper ingress and egress should be provided to prevent persons or children from becoming trapped
inside the structure.
WARNING:
If metal panels are selected to cover all or a portion of your structure, be careful of the sharp edges which
may cause cuts or lacerations. Wear protective work gloves and suitable clothing for protection and
always take care when handling metal parts.
WARNING:
Always wear safety glasses or goggles when installing self-drilling screws.
