Operating Instructions
The FORZA Portable Team Shelter is designed to provide protection from sun and light weather conditions for sports teams and individuals.
- Sun Protection: The shelter cover features a 50+ UPF rating, offering excellent protection against harmful UV rays. Position the shelter to maximize shade coverage as needed.
- Weather Protection: The coated polyester material provides resistance against light rain. However, as noted in the safety section, avoid use in extreme weather.
- Portability: The shelter is lightweight and designed for easy transport. When moving the shelter, ensure it is lifted and not dragged to prevent damage to the frame or cover.
Maintenance
Proper maintenance will extend the lifespan of your team shelter.
- Cleaning the Cover: Clean the polyester cover with a damp cloth and mild soap. Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners. Allow the cover to air dry completely before storage.
- Frame Care: The steel frame has a powder-coated finish for corrosion prevention. If the finish is scratched, touch up with rust-inhibiting paint to prevent rust. Wipe down the frame with a damp cloth as needed.
- Storage: When not in use, disassemble the shelter and store all components in a dry, cool place, preferably in its original carry bag, to protect it from environmental elements and prolong its life.
- Inspection: Periodically inspect all frame connections, fabric, and anchor points for signs of wear, tear, or damage. Replace any damaged parts immediately.
