Anchor NAVI-TRAC LITE 20 WIDE - Manual (Page 8)

ASSEMBLING THE CROSS BEAM
Begin the hip end installation by assembling the cross-beam
section of the hip end framing with the eave bars connected,
(see fig. 4)
The following illustrations show details of each step to com-
plete this assembly phase. Notice that the uprights (legs) are
not installed at this time. They will be added with the help of
a tent jack after the hip end upper frame is completely assem-
bled.
Appropriate pins are attached to the weldments. The long
pins pin vertically through the aluminum extrusions. The
short pins pin horizontally through the aluminum extrusions.
After completing each step on this page, the hip end frame
should resemble the drawing to the right.
At this time, the cross-beam
portion of the hip end should
be complete, with eave bars
standing vertically, as shown
(see fig. 4, above)
Caution: If you have
attached liner ropes, they
should be kept at least
partially coiled to prevent
them from becoming a trip
hazard during the remain-
ing steps of the installa-
tion.
Begin by laying out the parts neatly in their
approximate location, as if the frame were
collapsed onto the ground.
Install an Eave Weldment (EW) to the lower
(tapered) ends of each Rafter (R-20). Insert
the short pin provided thru the rafter (side-to-
side) to secure the connection.
Slide the top (squared) ends of each Rafter (R-20) onto
the Ridge Weldment (RW) and secure with the short
pins provided on the weldment.
At the Eave Weldment on both sides of the cross-beam,
slide eave bars onto the weldment and secure with the
long pins, allowing the eaves to stand vertically.

RAFTER W/ Hook (RH-20)
Install the Rafter w/ Hook (RH-20) to the center bracket
of the Ridge Weldment (RW), and let it lay on the ground
until the cross-beam is pivoted. Close-up of the Rafter w/ Hook (RH-20) being con-
nected to the Ridge Weldment (RW). (Notice the
pivoting latch of the Rafter Hook.)
