LES INSTALLATION SAFETY GUIDELINES
Please read through this assembly manual completely before beginning your installation. Be sure the proper equipment,
crew and safety precautions are in place. We hope that you enjoy the design features of the Vehicle Maintenance Shelter
each time the unit is installed.
1. Be aware to avoid contact of frame sections with any overhead power lines near the site.
2. When anchoring the structure, avoid all underground power lines and gas lines or other utility easements.
3. When moving frame sections by hand, use proper lifting techniques to protect the back, and avoid pinching
fingers while making hardware connections.
4. Be sure all workers are cautious and attentive to the falling paths of frame sections being raised or lowered.
5. Keep site clear of debris to avoid tripping, especially while carrying frame parts or bundles of fabric.
6. Do not drag bundles of fabric on concrete, asphalt, or ground as this can cause damage to the fabric from
abrasion through the bag.
7. Do not climb onto the fabric “roof” of the structure. When necessary, work safely from a ladder of
appropriate size.
8. When standing or lowering frame sections use a smooth motion.
9. Before installing fabric, be sure the frame is safely staked at baseplates and that X-cabling is in place.
10. The installation method described here requires coordination of tasks between workers. A safe installation is
dependent on that coordination. Work cooperatively as a team.
STEP 1
Assemble 18 purlins from two purlin halves (2”x2” aluminum tubes about 8’ long) and a purlin splice (Aluminum part 2’ long
with snap buttons in the center.) See Figure 1.
Figure 1
Note: On 8’ Extension kits - only (1) half purlin is required, and no purlin splice.
Note: This installation is for the standard 2-mid bay Base Unit unless noted otherwise.
Note: For installation of frames with extension kits, look for notes inside these outlined boxes for special instructions.
