NAVI-TRAC LT PAVILION INSTALLATION SAFETY
GUIDELINES
Your own installation techniques will evolve to fit the varied needs of your clients, the experience level of your installation
crews, the nature of other tentage that may be common to the installation site being planned, and the equipment that you
may have available or with which you feel most comfortable. 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 Lite™ Pavilion
each time the unit is installed.
1. It is recommended that workers wear safety shoes and hard-hats on site.
2. When moving frame sections by hand, use proper lifting techniques to protect the back, and avoid pinching
fingers while making hardware connections.
3. Be sure all workers are cautious and attentive to the falling paths of frame sections being raised or
lowered.
4. Be aware to avoid contact of frame sections 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.
6. Keep site clear of debris to avoid tripping, especially while carrying frame parts 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. Do not climb onto the fabric “roof” of the structure. When necessary, work safely from a ladder of
appropriate size.
9. When standing frame sections to vertical, or when lowering, use a smooth motion and have other
workers “foot” the base of the section to avoid slippage along the ground.
10. When installing gabled end units, be sure all beams are stabilized either by safety guys or cross cabling until connected to a section of the unit that is already stabilized in this manner.
11. When installing a unit in which the overall length exceeds 60 ft, add one extra X-cabled bay for each addi-
tional 60 ft of length. To meet design loads, no more than 60 ft of consecutive length can remain non-X-
cabled.
12. The installation method described here requires coordination of tasks between workers. A safe installation is
dependent on that coordination. Please work cooperatively as a team.

Directions for Squaring the Tent
(see the diagram above)
1. Locate the four primary corners.
a. Using a tape measure, mark Points A & B (the width of the pavilion fi rst.
b. Using one tape measure, start from point B and measure the
length of the tent.
c. Using a second tape measure, start from point A and measure the
diagonal.
d. Mark the point at which these two tapes intersect. (Point C) This
will square the tent.
e. Using the same process, mark point D.
2. Locate points for intermediate uprights.
a. Using a tape measure running from points A
to B, mark for end uprights
(only on frames over 20’
projection).
b. Using a tape measure
running from points B to
C (or A to D) mark for side
uprights according to your
particular pavilion.
These markings will be
your guideline for tent
layout.

weldment and affi x using method detailed as follows:
On rafters with “X” cables in one of the adjacent bays such as end
•
bays (see illustration on page 5) connection must be made using the
eye nuts and bolts shipped with the “X” cables. Eye nut must face in
the direction of the “X” cabled bay because it is used for connection of
the “X” cables. (See Step 3)
In the case where there are two “X” cabled bay adjacent to one
•
another, the connection must be made using an eye bolt with eye nut.
(not usual)
On rafters with no “X” cables attach the rafter using the pin attached to
•
the ridge weldment.
6. On frames with 20’ projection or more, rafter brace is now attached to triangle.
Rafter Brace will only fi t one way- so if you are having trouble with alignment,
turn the brace around so that the opposite ends are now at the rafter and upright rear upper splice. (See Figure 2c)
7. Assemble uprights by sliding adjustable base plates into uprights and bolting
with bolts provided. See Figure 2d for assistance in assembling the upright in
the correct position.
8. On Rear upright, slide Upright rear upper splice down into bottom upright and
pin with a tension lock pin. See Figure 2d for assistance in assembling the
upright in the correct position.
9. Assemble all Beam arches with baseplates in correct position for raising.

Step 3 - Raising the Beam Arches
Raise fi rst beam. Tie off securely or hold up using adequate installation personnel. Note: There are no stakes or guys
•
included with this frame, however, the installation kit (sold separately) includes eye bolt and eye nut for attaching to frame
along with safety webs that may be used to stake or tie-off frame to stabilize the fi rst beam while frame is being assem-
bled. See Figure 3a.
Raise the second beam arch, keeping base plate in place by using installation personnel or stakes (not included).
•
Note: Before Raising Beam Arches, all eye nuts and “X” Cables must be in place as
shown in Figure 3a. Turnbuckles should be open all the way.

At front of mids, insert tension tubes into pockets under curtain. Between mids, use a tension tube splice to connect
•
tubes. (Figure 7b) Before insertion, hang tension strap with ratchet and hook over the tension tube splice. At ends, hang
tension strap over end of tension tube as shown in Figure 7c.
Insert hook of tension strap into slot in front upright. Crank ratchet until tension strap stays in place but do not tension.
•
Check mids to be sure they are all pulled to the same point in front and back. Check back end straps to be sure they are
tightened uniformly. When you have checked these things, you may now ratchet the front tension straps. Tighten until all
mids are uniformly snug.

soil conditions, these are the manufacturer’s suggested sequence of installation procedures. Anchor’s responsibility
is limited to the manufacture of the tent parts and materials. We are not responsible for methods that installers may
choose to erect and secure the tent to the ground.
2. The number of stakes suggested in the installation instructions do not necessarily meet all or any relevant codes
on the site of the tent installation. The number of stakes suggested will, in many cases, keep the tent erected,
however, due to various soil conditions; these stakes will be insuf¿ cient to keep the tent secure in high winds.
It is the tent installer’s responsibility, not the manufacturer, to determine the appropriate number of stakes to meet
the necessary wind loads on the site. Regardless of the number of stakes we suggest, we make no representation
or warranty as to whether this speci¿ c number of stakes will meet the local tent code. Anchor does not, nor can
it make any suggestions, representation, or warranties about the adequate staking required at each speci¿ c
installation site. Staking information provided in the installation instructions is not a suggestion about what is
necessary to meet a site-speci¿ c load.
For additional important information, consult: “The IFAI Procedural Handbook For the Safe Installation and
Maintenance of Tentage” and the IFAI Pocket Guide “Pullout Capacity of Tent Stakes”, both available from
the IFAI Tent Rental Division or on our website.
3. 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. Note: We recommend that snow and
ice be removed from the tent surface as soon as possible because accumulation will damage the tent
or fabric structure. Please consult with our Engineering Department about the maximum loads for each
product.
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.
4. 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. It is our desire that all installations are safe. Please be aware of hidden dangers
both underground, i.e., gas lines, water lines, electrical lines, etc. and above the tent such as power lines and
telephone lines.
