Axle Conduit
NOTE:
If an optional end panel is installed at the
other end of the frame,
do not allow the free end of
the axle to touch the inside surface of the panel. Trim
pipe if needed. Axle must turn freely.
If the assembled axle is too short, adjust each pipe
at each pipe joint until the desired length is achieved,
or add another section of pipe. At least 1-1/2" of the
swaged end of a pipe must remain inside the plain
end of the adjacent pipe.
14. After installing all sections of axle conduit for the
first drop-down panel assembly, verify that the axle
conduit is level and secure each conduit splice with a
Tek screw (FA4482B) as shown above.
15. Move to the gearbox and test the assembly using the
crank handle.
NOTE:
The assembled axle conduit should turn freely
throughout the length of the shelter. Adjust the band
clamps as needed. Reposition clamps and screws if
these prevent smooth operation of the axle conduit.
16. After verifying that the axle turns smoothly, repeat the
procedure to assemble and attach the gearbox and
axle conduit
to the other side of the shelter.
10. Move inside the frame and slide a 106734 band clamp
over the tapered end of the 131S075 pipe.
NOTE:
Verify that the axle pipe is level and secure the
band clamp to the rafter leg (or ground post) using an
FA4482B Tek screw.
Do not install a band clamp at the end rafter where
the gearbox mounting plate is attached. A band
clamp is not needed in this position.
11. Take a section of 131S075 pipe, attach it to the
installed axle.
Do not secure the joint at this time.
12. Slide another band clamp onto the tapered/swaged
end of the conduit, level the conduit, and secure the
band clamp to the next rafter leg/ground post.
Actual
rafter leg may differ slightly from the diagram.
13. Continue adding 131S075 conduit and band clamps
and work toward the other end of the shelter. Verify that
the axle conduit remains level throughout the length.
