Notes Before You Begin:
Do not over tighten bolts during assembly, only snug
tighten them until assembly is complete unless otherwise instructed. Do not install
bolt caps until the structure is completely assembled and properly footed.
Carefully read and understand these installation instructions before you
begin.
Step 1:
Before attempting to assemble your equipment, please review all
installation information carefully. Should you experience any diffi culty during the
installation process, please call us at the phone number shown on the last page
of these instructions.
Step 2:
Separate and identify all components and hardware.
Step 3:
Excavate, or prepare, the footings as shown in the
Annex
at the end of
this document. Use the
Support Post Footing Detail
the in-ground model.
Step 4:
Attach the cleats to the support posts. See
Detail A
. Place a cleat over
each bracket on the support posts, apply a drop of thread locking adhesive to
the bolt threads and attach as shown. Fully tighten the connections according to
tightening torque specifi cations (See
Final Details
).
Step 5:
Attach the handholds to the overhead end panels. See
Detail B
. Attach
the handholds to the end panels as shown making sure to insert the thicker center
part of the handhold through the end panel fi rst. Fully tighten the connections
according to tightening torque specifi cations (See
Final Details
).
Step 6:
Attach the overhead frames together. See
Detail C
. Position the overhead
frames next to each other as shown, insert a connector into the open ends of the
frames, apply a drop of thread locking adhesive to the bolt threads and attach
as shown.
Step 7:
Attach the overhead frames to the support posts. See
Details D-1 and
D-2
. Place the support posts in, or on, their designated footings and block and
brace in place. See the
Footing Diagram
and
Top View
for location of the posts
and frames respectively. With adequate manpower place the frame assembly on
top of the posts and attach as shown. Note the attachment of the arch ring frame
to the support post with no number.
Important Note:
Posts #'s 1 & 3 have their number stamped in the plate on top of
the post. This number will then correspond with the number stamped into mounting
plates on the overhead canopy frames. Match the frame to it's corresponding
posts. See the
Example
on the same page.
Step 8:
Attach the steel panels to the arch ring frame on the right overhead frame.
See
Detail E
. Locate the panels against the arch ring frame and attach as shown.
Fully tighten the connections according to tightening torque specifi cations (See
Final Details
).
Final Details.
Step 9:
Plumb and level the component. Tighten
all
fasteners. Fully tighten all
fasteners according to tightening torque specifi cations.
Torque Specifi cations:
Bolts and nuts
- Snug tighten and then tighten an additional one half turn.
In-Ground:
Block and brace for concrete. Pour concrete after all equipment has
been assembled. Allow 72 hours for concrete to completely cure.
Surface Mount:
Bolt down all surface mount supports in accordance with
specifi cations provided by your registered structural engineer.
Important Note:
Surface mount hardware is not supplied. Customer is responsible
for concrete base and for providing surface mount hardware as specifi ed by a
registered structural engineer for each specifi c project application.
Step 10:
Attach the post topper to the support posts. See
Detail F
. Place a post
topper on top of each support post, apply a drop of thread locking adhesive to
the bolt threads and attach as shown. Fully tighten the connections according to
tightening torque specifi cations (See
Final Details
).
Step 11:
Press the bolt caps into the plastic washers. See
Detail G
. Press a bolt
cap into each plastic fl anged washer as shown.
Note:
The plastic caps install easier when they are warm.
Step 12:
For areas complying with ASTM standard F1487 or the CSA Z-614,
apply the age appropriate label to the component at eye level.
