4.0 Frame Assembly Guide

4.1 - Frame Preparation Step 1 – Measure and record stringer width for the use in the next steps. (We will be using 1.83m/72’’ as an example).

Step 2 – Using the measurement recorded in Step 1, measure and mark all (F-3) pipes (1.83m/72’’).

Step 3 – Use a reciprocating saw to cut the (F-3) pipes at the marked lengths.



Step 4 – Refer to Table 1 for the specific length on cutting the fiberglass rods (F-5) that will create the

arches for the canopy.

Table 1

Stringer Width

(Meters/Inches)

Arch Length (Meters/Inches)

(30cm/12’’ Peak)

1.00m/40’’ 1.29m/51.00’’

1.11m/44’’ 1.38m/54.26’’

1.21m/48’’ 1.46m/57.64’’

2.34m/92’’ 2.49m/98.12’’

2.44m/96’’ 2.59m/101.95’’

Step 5 – Notice that our stringer width is 1.83m/72’’ and the corresponding arch length is 2.01m/79.22’’.

Just like in Steps 2 & 3, measure and mark the F-5 fiberglass rods and use the reciprocating saw to cut

them to the required lengths (2.01m/79.22’’in our example).



4.2 - Mounting Location Assembly Step 1 – Mount the four 1” Kee Lite wall flanges (F-9). Position them four feet from the center of the

Solo base for a total spacing of eight feet between the flanges on both sides of the conveyor.

Step 2 – Depending on the stringer height, the flanges should be mounted 5cm/1-2” from the top of the

stringer to allow zero interference of the fastening bolts from the top of the stringer face.



Step 3 – Mark each hole with a pencil or marker for ease of drilling locations.

Step 4 – Use a 7/16’’ drill bit to drill the holes. Note: A magnetic drill is the preferred tool for this step.

Step 5 – Using 7/16’’ x 1-1/2’’ bolts (A-1), 7/16” washers (B-1), and 7/16” nuts (C-1), mount and fasten the 1’’ Kee Lite wall flanges (F-9) to the stringer.



4.3 - Frame Construction and Mounting Step 1 – Connect each individual 60’’ pipe (F-2) to the three-way connector (F-7) to create four corner posts.

Step 2 – Slide a single-swivel socket (F-8) onto each of the posts.

Step 3 – Now slide single-socket tee (F-6) onto each of the posts.

Step 4 – Connect the modified pipes (F-3) to one of the available ports on the three-way connector and the other pipe to the available port on the single-socket tee. Do this for two posts.



Step 5 – Slip two single-swivel sockets (F-8) onto the top pipe.

Step 6 – Connect the remaining posts (F-2) to the opposite ends of the modified poles (F-3).

Note: Make sure the last available ports of the three-way connectors are pointing in the same direction.



Step 7 – Insert 17’’ pipes (F-1) to the available single-swivel socket (F-8) ends to create 45-degree

gussets. You should now have two frames as shown below.

Step 8 – Load each of these frames across the conveyor into the previously installed wall flanges.

Note: Make sure the last available ports of the three-way connectors are pointing towards the opposite

frame.



Step 9 – Now connect the arch holders (F-4) to the available ports on the three-way connectors (F-7).

Note: Holes should be pointing up and in towards the center of the frame at approximately 45-degrees.

Step 10 – Adjust the height of the horizontal cross member to between 30-60cm/12-24’’ from the top

pipe.

Note: The horizontal cross member should be set 5cm/2’’ above the maximum allowed height of

material on the conveyor belt while still remaining in the 30-60cm/12-24’’range.



4.4 - Canopy Installation



Step 1 – Wrap the face tarp (T-2) around the horizontal bar and the top bar, with the Velcro strip facing

out.

Step 2 – Now weave the paracord through the eyelets of the canvas on the front and back of the frame.

Double knot each end once the paracord has been woven through.



Step 3 – Slide the fiberglass rods (F-5) half way through the sleeves on the main tarp (T-1) so that equal

lengths of rod are exposed on both sides of the sleeve.

Step 4 – Lift the main tarp (T-1) along with the inserted fiberglass rods (F-5) over the frame so that poles

are perpendicular to the direction of the conveyor belt. Carefully insert the fiberglass rods (F-5) into the

arch holder holes (F-4).



Step 5 – Now paracord the insides of main tarp (T-1) in a zig-zag fashion, starting at the bottom.

Step 6 – Once the insides are tight, and you have reached the last possible eyelet before running into

the horizontal cross member, tuck the excess tarp in behind the post. Do this front and back for both

sides.



Step 7 – Now thread paracord through the anchor point eyelet on one of the posts then up through the

eyelets on the ears of the main tarp, then back down to the opposite side’s anchor eyelets. Tie a double

knot on one side and tighten, tying another double knot on the opposite side.

Step 8 – For the final steps, connect a slotted door to the lower of the two Velcro strips, making any

adjustments to the width of the door by cutting off the extra width with a utility knife. Repeat steps for

both ends.



Step 9 – Now connect the second slotted door to the second Velcro strip just above the one in Step 8.

Note: The slots from the second door should be off-centered from the original door for proper

protection. Try to align the slots of the second door with the center of the panels of the first door.

Step 10 – Trim the bottom of all the panels so that they are just above the conveyor belt.

CAUTION: IF THE DOOR FLAPS END UP DIRECTLY ABOVE AN IDLER WHEEL, MAKE SURE TO CUT OFF

15cm/6’’ OF THE FLAPS TO PREVENT THE DOOR FROM GETTING CAUGHT IN THE IDLER WHEEL.
