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 encour-
age 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.
13. Anchor recommends a factor of safety of at least 2X be used to resist all loads.

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 pavil-
ion first.
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 inter-
mediate uprights.
a. Using a tape mea-
sure 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.

Step 1 - Parts Layout
• Follow the directions on the previ-
ous page for squaring and marking
for the frame.
• Lay out the parts neatly in their ap-
proximate location, as if the frame
were collapsed onto the ground.
(Figure 1a)
•
Step 2 - Beam Arch As-
sembly
• Assemble the first beam arch in the
following order:
1. Assemble upper triangle first
by fastening upright rear upper
splice to ridge weldment using
one of the pins attached to the
ridge weldment.
2. Drop hook end of Eave Projec-
tion into Eave End Weldment
Bracket. (Figure 2a) Note: On
24’ projection, Eave projection
is spliced. Slide Eave Splice
Projection into 24’ Eave Projec-
tion and fasten using 1/2” bolt
and nut.
3. Drop slotted end of Eave
Projection down over ear
located at bottom of upright
rear upper splice and pin
using a tension lock pin.
(Figure 2b)
4. Assemble Rafter Splice
Projection to Rafter using
1/2” bolt and nut provided
(required only on frames
over 20’ projection)
5. Slide Rafter up onto ridge
weldment and affix 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 fit 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 up-
right 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 first 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 first 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.

22’ Projection Frame Shown
Frame sizes under 16’

cables per bay and no
purlins.
Note: If you are installing a 2-bay pavilion, both
bays must be “X” cabled, therefore, eye nuts and
eye bolts must be used at center beam arch (similar
to configuration at right).
1/2” x 3 1/4” cap screw
and eye nut may be used
with safety web guys from
installation kit for stabilizing
first raised beam. (instal-
lation kit is an optional
purchase)
Eyebolt and safety
webs from installation
kit may be temporarily
installed for stabiliz-
ing first raised beam.
(Use eyebolt with
eyenut from standard
frame hardware.)

Before placing frame in final position, attach
frame attaching bracket to upright rear upper
splice on each rear upright.
• Remove stablizer plate, washer and hex nut from rod
on bracket.
• Insert rod into upright rear upper splice from back of
pavilion.
• Place stabilizer plate, washer and hex nut back onto
rod so that bracket stays in place. Do not tighten until
frame and fabric are completely assembled and in-
stalled. Do not use stabilizer plate at corner uprights.

Step 5 - Fabric Mid Installation
• With one installer at top of each rafter, feed eave end of kedar into top channel opening of ridge weldment and down into
rafter. (Figure 5a) Feed both kedars at the same time and at the same rate until the ends of the kedars are at end of raf-
ter at eave. Optional method: Snap pull ropes onto pull rings at mid eaves and pull mids down from top after kedars are
started into channels simultaneously.
• Raise back ends of mid kedars up until bottom of kedar can be fed down into top of channel on Upright Rear Upper
Splice. Feed both kedars down at the same time and at the same time until kedars are fully inserted into channels. (Fig-
ure 5b)
• Continue this process until all mids are installed.

back kedar up until
bottom of kedar can
be fed down into
top of channel on
Upright Rear Upper
Splice. (Figure 6b)
• After end fabric is in
place, fiesta buckles
on inside of fabric at
eave must be con-
nected. Slide kedar pieces with d-ring into top/outside
channel of eave beam. Align these with corresponding
fiesta buckles. Slide web through d-ring as shown in
figure 6c. Tighten webs.
• End Fabric is installed.

Step 7 - Fabric Tensioning
• At back of pavilion, snap buckles of back-end straps to corresponding buckles at bottom of mids. Insert bottom hook into
slot at back of upright. Tighten just enough so that hook does not fall out of slot. (Figure 7a)
• 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.

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 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 insufficient 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 specific 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 specific
installation site. Staking information provided in the installation instructions is not a suggestion about what is
necessary to meet a site-specific 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 on their website (www.ifai.com).
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.
