Step 3: Adjusting U-Bolts and GlassFlex® Buffers to level shielding (cont’d)
Start to tighten the top nuts
(fig. 5)
through the access holes inside the aluminum tube. Tighten the two top nuts
equally to ensure the bottom on the U-Bolt remains level.
Repeat this for both U-Bolts supporting a single section of GlassFlex® channel until the shielding leans towards the
ice surface
(fig. 6)
.
Use a suction cup attached to the shielding and shake the shielding as you adjust the U-Bolt. This will help in
making sure the shielding is level.
When you have completed the adjustments, use a level to ensure you are ‘level to 1/4” leaning over 3 feet’ towards
the ice surface.
When the U-Bolt is in the desired position and level, raise the center nuts
(fig. 7)
under the tube until they are tight
against the tube
(fig. 8)
and the U-Bolt is rigid.
