Anchor NAVI-TRAC LITE 30 THRU 50 WIDE User Manual

Assembly Instructions

NAVI-TRAC Liner

30’ thru 50’ Wide (Smooth or Gathered)

1.

The NAVI-TRAC liner will be hoisted by ropes passing through pulleys
attached to the ridge brace pins or bracket near the peak of the frame.
It will be easier to install these peak/ridge pulleys AS the NAVI-TRAC
frame is being assembled and before the legs are installed (see fig.2).
The outer top should be installed before

the liner.

2.

Preparation:

Pass the eyelet of each pulley lanyard over the gravity
pins that secure the ridge braces on each side of the
NAVI-TRAC peak (see fig.2). (On 30’ wide units, a

beam bracket is supplied to secure directly to the
pulley.) Pass the pull ropes through the pulleys so

that the quick links at the end of the ropes hang at
ground level. When ready, each rafter should have (2)
pulley lanyards with hanging ropes. (see fig.4)

Attach Pulley/Lanyards to Ridge Brace Pins:

Lap Liner Sections/Install Support Bars:

To join end and mid liner sections, overlap and
secure the matching velcro edges using the snap
fasteners. Then seal the velcro edges peak to eave.
Overlap the reinforcement peak patches, carefully
sealing the matching velcro. Align the holes of the
patches and insert the eye bolt down thru both
patches. From underneath, thread the eye nut onto
the eye bolt and tighten.

5.

Attach Liner at the (4) Corners:

After hoisting the liner to the peak of the frame and securing it,
drape the liner over the cross-cables, as needed (see fig.5-A).
Then, spread the liner to the (4) corners of the frame and secure
it by passing the liner corner straps around the hip pin just above
its R-shaped cotter key. Pass the loose end of the strap back
through its fastex buckle and tension it as needed (see fig.7-A).

Slide support bars through the web loops on the top
side of the liner. Slip the notches at each end of the
bars over an eye bolt in the reinforcement patches
and connect the quick links at the ends of the pulley
ropes to these eye bolts (see fig.3)

NOTE: On Navi-Tracs 40’ wide or less, the
cross-cable is removed after installation, so that
step #3 above can be completed as shown in
fig.4, before the liner is hoisted. However, in the
50’ wide Navi-Trac, cross-cables must be left in.
Therefore, the liner sections should be raised
one at a time to a level just above the cross­cable (see fig.4A and 5A). From a ladder, the
sections and support bars can then be lapped
and joined above the cross-cables.

Working above the cross-cables (50’W)

To hoist the liner, pass the loose ends of the pulley ropes through
the eye fittings on the outsides of the intermediate upright weld­ments at the sides of the unit. Pull the ropes uniformly and then
tie-off to the same eye fittings to secure the hoisted liner. At the
top of the 40’ and 50’ hip ends, attach the fastex straps to the
ridge brace (see fig.6)

Anchor products are of superior design and operate best within the parameters of these instructions. It is IMPERATIVE that the

instructions be carefully read and COMPLETELY FOLLOWED. Please read installation instructions before the installation or

removal of this product. Installation instructions are available at www.anchorinc.com.

For additional assistance consult: “The IFAI Procedural Handbook For The Safe

Installation And Maintenance Of Tentage” and the IFAI “Pullout Capacity Of Tent Stakes”,

both available from the IFAI Tent Rental Division.

CAUTION:

1. For each installation, the installer is solely responsible for evaluating the site and the proper securing method determined. Some

soils require different staking or securing than that provided with the tent. Due to this variety of soil conditions, these are the manu­facturer’s suggested sequence of installation procedures. Anchor’s responsibility is limited to the construction of the tent. We are
not responsible for methods that installers may choose to secure the tent to the ground.

2. Inasmuch as the weather is unpredictable, good judgment and common sense must be incorporated within installation guidelines.
It is the responsibility of the tent installer/maintainer to determine the severity of the weather, proper time and method of installation
and/or erection and disassembly.

This product has been manufactured for use as a temporary structure. For the safety of all occupants, evacuation is recommended if
threatening weather occurs, or if there is any doubt concerning the safe use of this product.

3. Proper safety equipment should be used at all times to insure a safe installation and take down. We suggest a careful evaluation
be made to determine safety equipment needed, such as hard hats, steel-toe shoes, safety glasses and other as required.

Attach the Liner along the Eave Line

6.

To secure the liner to the eave bars, rotate
each liner tab 90 degrees, slip it into the upper
channel of the eave bar, and rotate 90 degrees
back to vertical to lock it in the channel (see
fig.7-B). Insert the liner tabs all around the
perimeter. If necessary, loosen some of the
corner straps (fig.7-A) until all liner tabs have
been inserted, then re-tighten the corner straps.

7.

Where liner sections join at uprights, hook the
liner shock cords of adjacent liner sections into
the bottom open end of the their common rafter
(see fig.8). Join the liner straps across the
front facing of the upright, and cinch together
using the Fastex buckle attached (see fig.9).

Sealing the Liner around Knee Braces

8.

On 40’ and 50’ units, smooth the liner cutouts
around each knee brace and complete the
velcro seal between all adjacent liner sec­tions (see fig.10).

To smooth the lay of the liner, adjust corner
straps, velcro seals, and pulley ropes as
needed. (See fig.11)
