Caution!
Safety first when lowering frames. Make sure that all loose
objects are out of the work area. Maintain control of the jacks by keeping a
firm grip on the crank handles.
Lowering Frame
Prepare to lower the frame using jacks placed about one (1) foot away from the frame. Place all jacks at or near all corner
connections or intermediate connections. Remove the legs from the center of the end frame first, then, reverse the installation
process to lower frames to the ground. Lower one side at a time and start disassembly of the frame starting at one end and
working towards the other.
Disassemble Frame
Tip # 5
Frame disassembly will be faster and easier if you start at one of the corners after removal of the hip pole brace bars
(40 wide only). Remove quick pins from the perimeter poles and hip poles first.
Remove hip pole lower halves and connectors first, then remove perimeter poles to the first arch assembly. The next step is to
remove quick pins on perimeter poles to the next arch assembly, then with sufficient personnel use a ladder to remove ridge
rafter from the second arch assembly. Move backward until it clears the crown cluster. then lower ridge rafter to the ground.
Once off the ladder and it is move out of the way, pick up ridge rafter and lower arch slowly to the ground. Remove poles and
cables as in the installation process. Repeat this procedure with the remaining sections.
Note: The disassembly process is a reversal of the installation process.
