ASSEMBLING THE CROSS BEAM
Begin the hip end installation by assembling the cross-beam sec-
tion of the hip end framing with the eave bars connected, (see
fig.4)
The following illustrations show details of each step to complete
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 assembled.
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 stand-
ing 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 remaining steps of the
installation.
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-30). Insert
the short pin provided thru the rafter (side-
to-side) to secure the connection. Slide the top (squared) ends of
each Rafter (R-30) onto the Ridge
Weldment (RW) and secure with the
short pins provided on the weldment.
Adjust the spread of the cross-beam so that the
ridge brace can be installed and pinned at the top
hole above the Rafter-Purlin brackets (outlined in
white). Close up of the Rafter/ Ridge Brace connec-
tion. Note the matching holes on the brace and
the rafter are both circeld in white. (Also, notice
the liner rope and pulley attached at this same
pin location at this time (only if a liner is to be
installed later). 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-30)
Install the Rafter w/ Hook (RH-30) to the center
bracket of the Ridge Weldment (RW), and let it
lay on the ground until the cross-beam is pivoted.

Rafter Hook.)
