INSTALL THE DROP-DOWN CURTAIN (continued)
Axle Conduit
Film Cover Installation with Drop-Down Sides
Continue adding 131S075 conduit and band clamps
11.
and work toward the other end of the shelter. Verify
that the axle conduit remains level throughout the
length.
Attach one band clamp to each rafter leg/
ground post.
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.
After installing all sections of axle conduit for the
12.
first drop-down curtain assembly, verify that the axle
conduit is level and secure each conduit splice with a
Tek screw (FA4482B) as shown above.
Move to the gearbox and test the assembly using the
13.
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.
After verifying that the axle turns smoothly, repeat the
14.
procedure to assemble and attach the gearbox and
axle conduit
to the other side of the shelter.
Continue by attaching the drop-down curtains.

Axle Conduit
Ribbon Board
Band Clamp
Move inside the frame and slide a 106734 band clamp
8.
over the tapered end of the 131S075 pipe.
106734
Band Clamp
NOTE:
Verify that the pipe is level and secure the
band clamp to the rafter leg/ground post of the second
rafter using an FA4482B Tek screw. Pipe should
remain loose in the band clamp.
Band clamps support the axle conduit at each rafter
except the end rafter where the gearbox is installed.
After securing the clamp to the rafter, bend the band
clamp away from the rafter if needed to keep the axle
aligned and level. (A customer-supplied spacer can
also be installed between the clamp and the rafter.
This option is not shown.)
Take a section of 131S075 pipe, attach it to the
9.
installed axle.
Do not secure the joint at this time.
Slide another band clamp onto the tapered/swaged
10.
end of the conduit, level the conduit, and secure the
band clamp to the next rafter leg/ground post.
