SECURE THE END FLAP Step 18 REMOVE ALL ROPES BEFORE PROCEEDING If rope is trapped between the cover and the arches remove SLOWLY. 1. POSTS MOUNT BUILDINGS Install the 4 end flap ratchets, one on each corner post, by drilling 3/8" holes 24" below the top of the posts and installing 3/8" threaded rod, washers and nuts and an end flap ratchet. Add tension to the end flaps until they are tight. 2. SURFACE MOUNT BUILDINGS Depending on the building type and surface, install anchor bolts or earth anchors beside the end arch bases and attach a ratchet strap. NOTE: It may be necessary to repeat the ratchet tightening several times at both ends of the cover. You may need to release the ratchet mechanism and pull the belting as tight as possible by hand before ratcheting. Step 19 TENSION THE COVER 1. Use a 1 1/8" wrench to tighten the cover lashing straps evenly on both sides of the building. Adjust the cover lashing winches to achieve a wrinkle free, drum tight appearance over the entire building. For most buildings 25 - 35 ft. lbs of torque provides adequate cover tension. 2. Next, adjust the end lashing straps tension until the cover fastening pipes are level. 3. Install a cotter pin in the lashing winch pilot holes to lock the release lever. 4. Secure the outside (end) lashing straps (4) to the fastening pipe by using pipe clips or fender washers and 1/4 x 3/4" Tek 3 self-drilling screws. Install the screws through the fastening strap into the fastening pipe. NOTE: Failure to secure the corner fastening straps to the pipe could result in possible damage to the cover. 21 Q205.1.1
Step 20 SECURE THE APRON The fabric is designed to be under tension at all times. GROUND Use dimensional lumber in the LOWER fastening pipe pocket to attach the apron to the frame or foundation or back fill the apron at the foundation. WALL Attach a dimensional lumber buffer to protect the cover from protruding edges. CONCRETE Never install fabric over concrete edges. Always install a dimensional lumber buffer or equivalent. Step 21 READ MAINTENANCE AND SUBMIT WARRANTY APPENDIX A BUILDINGS OVER 140’ IN LENGTH Multiple covers are provided for buildings over 140' in length. This enables ease of onsite handling and installation. Normally covers are supplied in equal or near equal lengths. The longest cover length is 140'. Eg. - a 150' building with 5' spacing is supplied with one 80' and one 70' cover. 1. FOUNDATION Foundation spacing (running measurement) is the same for the entire length of the building. (the covers share a common arch) Eg. - 150' building on 5' centers has 31 base plates on each side. 2. JOINER BRACKET 1. WALL Install a joiner bracket to the common arch. The bracket installs under the lashing winch on the threaded rod. Add an end flap ratchet to each end of the joiner bracket using 5/8" x 2" bolts and nuts. 22 Q205.1.1
