Q725.8.8

Improper Site Preparation, Assembly and Maintenance may invalidate warranty and cause unnecessary and costly mistakes. If you have any questions contact your local authorized dealer.

IMPORTANT – READ MANUAL FIRST

MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE

Failure to comply with this maintenance schedule will invalidate the warranty. A. INSTALLATION ADJUSTMENT

1. The cover of your QuickStructureTM building may relax after installation. It is important to keep the cover tight to prevent wear and ensure a long life. Adjust the cover and curtain lashing winches to achieve a wrinkle free, drum tight appearance over the entire building. For most buildings 35 - 45 ft. lbs of torque provides adequate cover tension. Adjust the end winches until the fastening pipe is level. Retighten end flaps.

NOTE: Building covers installed during cooler weather tend to relax more than covers installed during warmer weather. If your cover was installed in cooler weather recheck its tightness on the first available warm sunny day.

B. INSTALLATION INSPECTION - 1 WEEK

1. Cover - ensure the cover and curtain lashing straps are secure and the cover has a wrinkle free, drum tight appearance. For most buildings 35 - 45 ft. lbs of torque provides adequate cover tension. Adjust cover and curtain tension as required.

2. Belting - check for premature belting wear and ensure tightness.

3. End Flaps - ensure the flaps remain tight and securely fastened. Tighten the ratchets until they refuse to ratchet.

4. Cables - ensure the cables have the correct tension. Adjust the cables as required.

5. Steel - Seal all surface penetration marks with a sealant or high zinc content paint.

C. QUARTERLY MAINTENANCE

1. Repeat above “INSTALLATION INSPECTION - 1 WEEK” a minimum of 4 times per year.

D. GENERAL

1. Cover - Clean with water and non-abrasive soap. Do not use solvents or chemicals.

2. Snowfall - Snow accumulating on the cover could indicate that the cover needs re-tensioning. Remove snow and check tension.

3. Use caution when using heavy equipment to clear away avalanched snow.

E. ACCIDENTAL DAMAGE

Fabric: Sharp objects can puncture and damage the DURAWEAVE® fabric. Do not attempt to seal or repair with conventional materials. Call your local authorized representative. They can assess the damage and facilitate replacement or provide a heat-weld service if the fabric is repairable.

Structure: Report and document any damage to the steel structure, components immediately. Have your local authorized representative inspect the damage and provide a comprehensive evaluation. Perform any temporary or emergency repairs as determined. Replace or repair damaged components as determined.

Q725.8.8

1. With the end flaps flipped back and out of the way, use the supplied belting to lace the cover PVC to the end arches.

The recommended procedure is to use separate pieces of belting and start by first lacing the cover from the bottom edges up to the top center.

Secure the belting at the top center and THEN apply tension as you lace down both sides. Fasten the belting at the bottom edge.

NOTE: DO NOT LEAVE THE COVER UNATTENDED UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES

until final assembly and tightening has been completed. Remove the bracing after final tightening has been completed.

1. Add tension to

the lashing winches evenly until a drum tight appearance is achieved.

2. Install a 3/4" Tek screw and pipe clip in through the end lashing strap into the fastening tube.

3. Install a cotter pin in the lashing winches pilot hole to lock the release lever.

5. Center the cover on the building. If the cover has alignment marks on the inside of the

cover, align the marks with the center row purlins.

The end flaps must overhang evenly at both ends. .

Q725.8.8

1. Lace a short piece of belting through the top center D-ring and temporarily suspend the end panel from the arch tube.

2. The recommended procedure is to use separate pieces of belting and start by first lacing from one base all the way to the top center and tie off . Lace the belting loosely through the D-rings.

Repeat this lace-up procedure for the other side. Remove the belting suspending the panel and secure both belting ends.

3. THEN working from the top down, adjust the panel lacing so that the end panel is flat and the D-rings touch the bottom of the arch tube.

Hint: Some tightening adjustments may be necessary to produce a flat, tensioned end panel.

1. Cut the pipe pockets at the lashing winches and door openings to allow for the lashing straps.

2. The end panel fastening pipes fit inside the

verticals. Cut the fastening pipes to fit inside the end verticals and install in the pipe pockets.

3. Add tension to the end panel by tightening the lashing

winches until a drum tight appearance is achieved.

INSTALL THE END PANELS Step 25

IMPORTANT End panels and covers should have a drum tight appearance after final tensioning. Loose or sagging fabric is subject to movement in windy conditions and will reduce the life expectancy of the fabric.

CUT OUT THE DOOR OPENINGS Step 28

1. Attach a 1" ratchet with J-hook to the lashing winch release bar on the corner base plate. Cut a slit in the end panel 1" above the folded ratchet.

2. Thread the end flap belting through the slit and tighten the end flap. You will need to ratchet, release and re-ratchet a number of times until the belt tension does not allow further ratcheting.

TIGHTEN THE END FLAPS Step 27

1. Cut out the fabric at the

doors. Cut so that you have excess fabric that you can grip and wrap around the frame.

2. Apply tension to the fabric when wrapping the fabric around the frame and use screws and flat washers or cleating material (both not supplied) to secure fabric to the horizontal and verticals.

HINT Adding

dimensional lumber (not

supplied) to the inside of the

steel frame will make finishing

the fabric easier.

Maintenance Recommendations For Buildings in Corrosive Environments

BUILDING STEEL Manufactured steel components are hot dipped galvanized, hot zinc plated or coated with a high quality sealant. It is recommended that the building owner/operator: - Prevent corrosive material or product from resting against or covering the building steel. - Remove any environmental residue that accumulates on the building steel.

- Seal all surface penetration marks with a high quality sealant or a high zinc content paint. BUILDING HARDWARE Hardware components are made of galvanized steel or aluminum alloy; are zinc plated with an added leachant-sealant; or are zinc or cadmium plated. It is recommended that the building owner/operator: - Prevent corrosive material or product from coming in direct contact with the building

hardware. - Remove any environmental residue that accumulates on the building hardware. - Seal or protect from corrosion any non-building components that are connected to, or that

come in contact with, the building hardware. ANCHOR BOLTS It is recommended that the building owner/operator: - Seal the exposed anchor bolt threads with a high quality sealant or a high zinc content paint. FABRIC LASHING WINCHES It is recommended that the building owner/operator: - Spray the lashing winches with a moisture displacing filming lubricant. (WD40 or equivalent) DURAWEAVE® FABRIC It is recommended that the building owner/operator: - Prevent corrosive material or product from resting against or covering the building fabric. - Remove any environmental residue that accumulates on the building fabric. Where moisture

will not contribute to corrosion – wash with water and non-abrasive soap.

SQUARING A BUILDING LAYOUT

1. Measure and string a straight line the exact length of the building (D1-D2). 2. Attach a measuring tape to stake D2 and measure the exact width of the building

perpendicular to line D1-D2. Make an arc in the dirt at that exact measurement. Repeat this procedure at stake D1 and make a second arc.

3. String an extended line (D3-D4) at the crowns of these two arcs. Recheck width

measurements. USING THE 3-4-5 METHOD TO SQUARE THE BUILDING LAYOUT 4. With the measuring tape still attached to stake D1, measure the distance (4 x Y) from

stake D1 towards stake D2 and place a stake (M1). See chart this page for a suggested value for Y for your building.

5. With the measuring tape still attached to stake D1, measure the distance (3 x Y) through

the crown of the arc and past line D3-D4 to M2. 6. With a second tape attached to stake M1, measure the distance (5 x Y) to M2. 7. Keeping the tapes tight, cross the two tapes

at exactly the (3 x Y) measurement and the (5 x Y) measurement and hold in position. Place a stake (D6) exactly where line D1-M2 crosses line D3-D4. Remove stake M2.

8. Follow the linear and diagonal measurement

checks on Page 4 of this manual.

IMPORTANT Depending on the size of your building, you may need a qualified contractor or engineer

to lay out the building plan to ensure that it is straight and square. The following is a suggested method only.
