NAVI-TRAC INSTALLATION SAFETY GUIDELINES

Your installation techniques will evolve to fit the needs of your clients, the experience level of your crews, the

nature of other tentage on-site, and the equipment that you have most readily available. We encourage you to

begin with a crew of (4) workers and only reduce this number as your experience level allows you to do so

safely

. Whatever techniques you adapt for your crews, we encourage you to keep safety utmost in mind.

Please read through this assembly manual completely before beginning your installation. Be sure the proper

equipment, crew and safety precautions are in place. We hope that you enjoy the design features of the NAVI-

TRAC each time the unit is installed.

1. It is recommended that workers wear safety shoes and hard-hats on site.

2. When moving beam sections by hand, use proper lifting techniques to protect the back, and

avoid pinching fingers while making hardware connections.

3. Never permit bystanders or uninvolved to stand or walk even briefly in the falling path of a beam as it is

being raised or lowered.

4. Be aware to avoid contact of beams with any overhead power lines near the site.

5. When anchoring the structure, avoid all underground power lines and gas lines or other utility

easements. Local authorities should be able to map the location of these obstacles.

6. Keep site clear of debris to avoid tripping, especially while carrying components or bundles of fabric.

7. Do not drag bundles of fabric on concrete, asphalt, or ground as this can cause damage to the

fabric from abrasion through the bag.

8. When lifting the NAVI-TRAC Hip End frame (See Appendix), be sure to use the heavy duty NAVI-TRAC

frame lift. The standard Anchor frame lift was not designed for the weight of the NAVI-TRAC frame.

When lifting each side of an end section, (2) NAVI-TRAC frame lifts should be used.

9. Before pivoting beams to vertical, clear the area

of items that could cause tripping or slipping.

10. Before pivoting middle beam, install the cross-cable for safety bracing. On the 50’ NAVI-TRAC, the

cross-cable should be left in place as an essential part of the structure.

11. NOTE: Hinged baseplates are used on all beams in the Gabled End Configuration. However, if the Hip

End is constructed on either, or both ends of the unit, the base plates in the hip end module should all be

the non-pivoting, fixed plates. Use of hinged baseplates in the end module could cause the end module

to collapse during installation.

12. When using ladders to make peak connections, be sure the ladder is tall enough that workers can

reach the peak from a ladder step consistent with the safety recommendations for the ladder being

used. On middle beams, secure the eaves before climbing the ladder to secure the peak.

13. For any Gabled End NAVI-TRAC of 100 ft or more in length, one middle bay must be cross-cabled both

in the over head and at ground level in an “X” fashion on both sides for each 100 ft of length.

14. For proper loading and anchoring information, consult the appropriate NAVI-TRAC blueprint available

from Anchor Industries Inc.

15. If a Hip End is used on either end of the unit, before installing fabric, verify that all hip, brace, and rafter

pins are seated into weldment fittings and secured by lanyard pins.

16. The installation method described herein requires coordination of tasks between workers. A

safe installation is dependent on alertness and coordination.

17. Before lifting Gabled End top frame to install uprights, always guy out and stake at least both corners

of the side or end being lifted. This will help maintain the intended footprint and will protect against uplift

from the wind that could move or flip the tent, causing damage to the tent and/or severe injury to

workers.
