Anchor BANDSHELLS 40X40 - Manual (Page 4)

THE FIRST STEP IS TO LOCATE THE STAKE AND BASE PLATE POINTS, USING THE DIMENSION
CHART ON PAGE 2.
YOU WILL NEED TWO 100’ TAPE LINES AND HAVE SEVERAL MARKERS AVAILABLE TO
MARK THE ANCHOR POINTS. DO NOT USE MARKERS WITH SHARP EDGES. THE
FABRIC WILL REST ON SOME MARKERS BEFORE RAISING. A CAN OF QUICK-DRY SPRAY
PAINT WILL DO, IF PERMANENT MARKING OF SITE IS ALLOWED.
DETERMINE WHERE THE CENTER AND FRONT OF THE STAGE IS TO BE. POSITION THE
BASE/CENTER LINE SO THAT IT SPLITS THE STAGE IN HALF. LOCATE THE REFERENCE
POINTS 1 THRU 4 AND MARK EACH. POINTS 2 & 3 ARE AT THE FRONT AND REAR EDGE OF A
40’-0” DEEP STAGE.
NOW LOCATE AND MARK EACH POINT BY HOLDING THE END OF EACH TAPE AT THE
CORRECT REFERENCE POINT AND MATCH THE CHART DIMENSIONS ON EACH TAPE. NOTE
THAT THE POINTS ARE SYMMETRICAL ABOUT THE CENTER LINE.
WE RECOMMEND THAT YOU MARK YOUR TAPE LINES FOR EACH POINT TO DECREASE
LAYOUT TIME AND CHANCES OF ERRORS.
INSTALL STAKES OR ANCHORING DEVICES AT EACH POINT AS SHOWN ON LAYOUT. THEN,
STAKE THE FOUR BASEPLATES AT POINTS X & W WITH THE HINGE BOLT PERPENDICULAR
TO THE CENTER LINE. WHEN INSTALLING AUGER STAKES, INSTALLER SHOULD BE FAMILIAR
WITH HOW TO PROPERLY SECURE TO GROUND AS WELL AS WITH MECHANICAL EQUIPMENT
AVAILABLE TO ASSIST IN THIS TASK. INSTALLATION DIRECTIONS CAN BE OBTAINED FROM
THE SUPPLIER OF AUGERS. EACH GUY CABLE PROVIDED WILL TERMINATE WITH A JAW/EYE
TURNBUCKLE WHICH MUST ADAPT TO THE ANCHORING SYSTEM YOU HAVE CHOSEN.
CAUTION: IT IS THE INSTALLER/OWNERS’ RESPONSIBILITY TO EVALUATE AND APPROVE
THAT ALL ANCHORING DEVICES MEET DEFINED LOADING. A PULL TEST OR ANALYSIS
SHOULD BE DONE ON THE STAKING OR ANCHORING SYSTEM TO ASSURE THE LOADING
INFORMATION INDICATED ON
THE “PULLOUT LOAD” PRINT
IS ADEQUATELY MET.
ASSEMBLE POLES. EACH
POLE SECTION IS MARKED
WITH A LETTER. MATCH
SECTIONS WITH THE
SAME LETTER AND BOLT
TOGETHER.
