INSTALL LOWER PURLINS AND LEGS
This section is an overview of the process for attaching the
lower purlins and legs to the roof frame. See illustration
below to identify main parts of the frame.
1. Using the upper leg pipes, insert the legs into the 3-way
and 4-way couplers of the main frame.
Do not install
the main frame legs during a storm or windy day
.
2. Secure each pipe in the coupler using the locking
eyebolt. If the couplers are not equipped with locking
eyebolts, secure each pipe in the coupler using a Tek
screw.
ATTENTION
: Position Tek screws so they
will not
touch
the main cover when installed.
3. Locate the required couplers, lower leg pipes and purlin
pipes to assemble the lower frame and attach to the
frame as shown below.
4. Inspect the frame for sharp edges or Tek screws that
could damage the covers. Reinstall the Tek screws if
necessary (or rotate the pipes) and remove or tape any
sharp edges.
5. After the entire frame is assembled, verify that each
locking eyebolt is tight.
6. Set the frame in the desired location and measure
diagonally from corner-to-corner to square the frame.
The diagonal measurements will be identical when the
frame is square.
Verify width between leg pipes.
7. Properly anchor the assembled frame as described in
the MUST READ document included with the shipment.
NOTE:
DO NOT install the cover without anchoring the
frame.
8. After anchoring the frame, continue with attaching the
main cover.
