ASSEMBLE AND POSITION BASE RAILS (Continued)
Attach 105088 1-Way Connector (Rafter Feet)
Gather parts:
• Assembled base rails
• 1-way connectors (105088)
• Tek screws and magnetic nut setter (3/8'' x 2-9/16")
• Tape measure and marker
NOTE:
Before attaching 105088 connectors, verify the
heads of the Tek screws securing the base rail tubes are
not positioned on the top or bottom surface of the rails.
1. Using Tek screws, attach the first 1-way connector
(105088) to base rail top flush with base rail end as
shown.
2. From the
center
of the installed 1-way connector
(105088), measure and mark 48" increments along the
length of the base rail. These marks represent the 4'
on-center rafter positions.
3. Center a 1-way connector (105088) on each mark and
secure the connector to the rail using Tek screws.
4. Repeat the steps for the remaining base rail.
NOTE:
Rafter spacing is measured center-to-center.
5. Position base rails on the site where the shelter will be
assembled. Space rails at the approximate width of the
shelter.
ATTENTION:
Do not
anchor the rails to the site at
this time. The assembled frame will be squared and
anchored
after
the rafter and purlins are attached.
6. After the base rails are assembled, continue with the
rafter assembly.
