8. Align the strap ends and insert both ends into the slot
in the center hub of the ratchet.
9. Tighten slightly and repeat the steps for the remaining
straps and ratchets.
ATTENTION:
If strap "builds up" inside ratchet, loosen
ratchet, remove excess strap, and retighten.
10. Return to all horizontal conduit ratchets and tighten.
11. After straps are tight, cut the opening for door
installation if equipped.
NOTE:
If no doors, reinstall ratchets for the main cover
bonnet and tighten main cover bonnet.
If you are installing an optional door, consult the
general steps in the following procedure. Some steps
may not apply. It is the installer's responsibility to adapt
these instructions as needed to install an end panel.
END PANEL INSTALLATION (continued)
Install Horizontal End Panel Conduit
Depending on size and design, some end panels include
a horizontal pocket on the inside panel surface. A pipe
assembly is inserted into the pocket. Conduit is secured to
the end frame using straps and ratchets.
Complete these steps to assemble and install the pipe
assembly. Required Pipe: 1.315" x 75" swaged Pipe
(#131S075)
NOTE:
If doors are to be installed, cut the pipe to the
correct length to properly fit into the pocket and to remove it
from the opening.
1. Locate the 1.315" pipes and assemble sections to
achieve the required length. (Cut to length if needed.)
2. Secure each pipe joint with a Tek screw. Wrap joint and
screw with duct tape to prevent end panel damage.
3. Insert assembled conduit into horizontal end panel
pocket. (End wall and panel shown are used for
illustration only. These may differ from actual items.)
5. Once ratchets are attached, make a horizontal slit
(approximately 3"– 6" long) in the horizontal pocket
directly above each ratchet. See photos for details.
(Photos show a different frame.)
WARNING:
Cut only the end panel pocket.
DO NOT
cut through the end panel.
6. Locate the 1" strapping and cut a section that reaches
from the ratchet (#QH1061), around the horizontal
conduit in the panel pocket, and back to the ratchet.
NOTE:
Allow enough extra strap so you can insert both
ends of the strap into the ratchet.
7. Thread one end of the strap in through the slit, around
the conduit, and back to the ratchet.
Horizontal Pocket
4. Locate the QH1061 ratchets and attach these to the
end wall frame tubes on the inside surface using
FA4482B Tek screws. If a base rail is installed (not
included), space ratchets evenly along base rail in a
location that will not interfere with the installation of
doors (if equipped).
NOTE:
For end walls with door openings, attach
ratchets in locations that will best secure and stretch
the end panel. This may or may not be evenly spaced
