General Precautions
Introduction
The following installation instructions are complete
for all applications of the side frames that are normally
available. Any application of the side frame that is
outside of normal application guidelines, should be
referred to Order Engineering for installation
instructions. These instructions also assume that the
installer is outside the building facing the loading dock
position
Illustrations

#5656-0008
Installation Standard
These instructions illustrate how to install a set of 6"
side frames that are on a stand alone unit.
1. Before mounting side members, install the curtain
top mounting brackets to side members at the top
outside edge of the side members. Holes have
been pre-drilled from the factory to locate the
brackets. Install the two screws, making sure the
brackets are on straight. (See Figure 1)
(Note: These brackets are not part of the over all
unit width. Unit width when mounting side members
should be measured from outside edge of side
members. Brackets will add about 1/4” to over all
foot print of unit and this allowance is taken into
account on the header installations.)
(Note: For common member units, see that
section first before proceeding. Variances in
side frames mounting for common member
units can cause installation problems. Take
special care in installing common member side
frames accurately. It is suggested to install
common member side frame units first, then the
standard units)
FIGURE 1
WARNING
Post safety warning and
barricade work area, at dock level
and ground level to prevent
unauthorized use of the dock
position while service work is
being performed.

610 SERIES SIDE FRAME
Pub. 56560007 Rev. 4 - JUNE 2014 D2
2. Measure the dock door opening. Divide this
measurement in half and mark the centerline of the
opening at dock level. (See Figure 2)
3. Measure the head member overall width and divide
this measurement in half.
4. Measure from the door centerline half of the head
member dimension and mark the outside wall at the
bottom of the door opening or at dock level. This
mark is for the outside edge of the side member.
(See Figure 2)
Note: For units that are offset on the door
opening, install side members with the proper
Offset.
Reference the Product Application Form (PAF)
or consult the sales representative for the
appropriate mounting height. Typically, the
bottom of the side pad/side frame is mounted at
dock height, but some applications may require
mounting them at a different location.
(Example: When dock bumpers are mounted
above dock height or above the pit floor on
vertical leveler applications, it may be required
to mount the bottom of the side pads/side
frames at a height even with the top of the
bumpers).
5. Measure from the mark for the outside edge of the
side member across the door opening the full
specified unit width (at dock level). Mark this
measurement for the outside edge of the second
side member. (See Figure 2). Using carpenter’s
level, plumb up the wall the height of the side
member and mark the outside edge of the side
member on the wall at top. Measure full width, etc.
Using a plumb bob or carpenter’s level make sure
that the outside wall is plumb from the highest point
on the side member location to dock level. Shim the
side members as required.
6. See “Bracketing Details” section of these
installation instructions for details on how to install
the brackets that will be shipped with the side
members.
7. Attach one side of the side members to the building
wall first. Make sure this member is mounted
correctly and plumb. Refer to “Fastening Methods”
section of these instructions for the correct
fastening method for the building style the side
members are being installed on. Attach the second
side member, using the first member and the marks
on the wall as a reference. When finalizing the side
members unit width, as noted in Step 1, make sure
that the distance between the inside faces of the
mounting brackets are least +1/8” wider than unit
width but no more than 1/4” for ease of installation.
Unit widths outside this range may be adjusted after
by loosening side member clip brackets and header
anchors. For best results, keep the unit width of the
mounting brackets as close to above specifications.
(See Figure 3)
(NOTE: If 4" side frame widths are being installed,
go to section “4" Side Frame Width” for special
instructions)

Instructions
“Common Member”
This section of these installation instructions details
how “common member” side frames are installed.
1. Follow steps 1 - 4 from the standard installation
procedure for the side frame that are not common
with another unit. (See Figure 5)
2. Follow step 1 from the standard installation
procedure for the side frame that is common except
install the common member header mounting
bracket. (See Figure 4) Install screws on both sides
of the frame.
3. Common member side frames will follow the same
procedure as standard side frames, except that the
side frame is centered on the unit width mark that
was made on the wall. (See Figure 5)
4. See “Bracketing Details” section of these
installation instructions for details on how to install
the brackets that will be shipped with the side
frames.
5. Attach the side frames to the building wall.
Note: Take special care with common member
side frames. Too much variances in mounting
distances between header mounting brackets
will cause installation problems with common
member units. Read canopy style header
installation instructions for common member
units before proceeding.
Refer to “Fastening Methods” section of these
instructions for the correct fastening method for the
building style the side frames are being installed on.
4" Side Frame Widths
(40" or Less Projection)
These instructions list how to install a set of 4" side
frames that are on a stand alone unit and < 40" in
projection.
1. Reference the standard installation instructions
1531-0002 and 1321-0008 (blockout applications)
along with these instructions before proceding.
2. After Step 7 in 5656-0007 installation instructions,
install the bumper provided as instructed in the
bumper installation instructions 1531-0002. These
bumpers must be installed.
3. Always install the side member in it's correction
location and mount the bumper relative to the side
member. Never install or adjust side member to
bumper location. This bumper is required for the
protection of the side member from being
compressed completely to building wall.
(Warning: Failure in not to install the bumpers
and/or incorrectly installing of the bumpers
could result in damage and/or failure of the unit.
Always follow standard bumper fastening
methods as described per each individual
bumper models.)
4" Side Frame Widths
(Greater than 40" Projection)
These instructions list how to install a set of 4" side
frames that are on a stand alone unit and > 40" in
projection.
1. Follow the standard installaion instructions for the 4"
side frames.
2. Securely attach the side frame blockout at the further
most point out from the building wall to either the
bumpers, the building foundation, overhang, or any
other appropriate rigid structure undersneath the
side frames. This is required to stabilize the side
frames while in use.
(Warning: Failure to attach blockouts to the
bumpers will result in damage and/or failure of
the unit.)
FIGURE 4

Pub. 56560007 Rev. 4 - JUNE 2014 D4
4" Side Frame Widths
1. Reference the standard installation instructions
5656-0007 and 1531-0002 along with these
instructions before proceding.
2. All 4" side frame width blockout must use brackets
to attach blockout to the building wall. This due to
the lack of space between the boards in the
construction of the blockouts.
(Warning: Drilling out a space between the
boards within the blockout, then thru bolting, is
acceptable as long as the strength and integrity
of the blockout is maintained.)
Fastening Methods
Concrete Block or Brick Wall
1. Install fastener into mortar joint if possible. Use 3/8"
x 4" lag screw with expansion shields, 3/8" x 4" one
piece anchor with expansion collar, or equivalent
fastener.
2. Through bolt fastening is required if the mortar joint
will not support the members. Bore a hole through
the building wall. Use a 3/8" dia. threaded rod with
a washer, nut and jam nut on each end - it may be
necessary to install a back-up plate - steel or wood
- when the wall will not support the bolt.
3. Use a minimum of 6 brackets on each side member
assembly.
Concrete Tilt-Up Walls (Precast)
1. Use a 3/8" x 4" lag bolt with expansion shields, 3/8"
x 4" one piece anchor bolts with expansion collar, or
equivalent fastener. If building wall is too thin to
effectively hold the lag bolt or anchor bolt, the
through bolt method of attachment is required.
Metal Side Building
1. Through bolt method of attachment is required for
this building style. It will be necessary to install a
back-up plate that is fastened directly to structural
members when it is not possible to fasten directly to
structural building members. Use a 3/8" diameter
bolt with a washer and lock nut to fasten the unit to
the structural members of the building or to the
back-up plates. If necessary, use a 3/8" diameter
threaded rod with a washer and lock nut on each
end.
Bracketing Details
The side members are furnished with brackets to suit
the application.
1. Position the side members on their marks.
2. Mark the side member for bracket installation. The
brackets should be positioned 12" - 15" from the top
and bottom, and also centered on the side member.
(See Figure 6) For example, line up the mounting
hole on the bracket with a mortar joint on the wall
and attach the mounting bracket to the side
member backer board.
3. Attach the brackets to the side member backer. Use
the supplied 1/4" x 1 1/4" wood screws for wood
backers, or #12 x 3/4" tek-screws for steel backers.

Standard EliminatorTM II
These instructions illustrate how to install a pair of
Eliminator™ II Side Curtains that are on a stand alone
Unit.
1. Align top edge of side curtain to top edge of side
frame at the same time aligning the velcro flap on
the outside of the side curtain to the velcro on the
outside of the side frame. (See Figure 1)
2. Make sure that the velcro flap on the outside of the
side curtain completely covers the velcro on the
side frame. (See Figure 2)
3. Continue to align the velcro flap to the outside of the
side frame velcro at the top, and continue working
downward to the bottom of the side frame. Keep
continuous downward pressure on side curtain to
avoid wrinkles in fabric.
4. Starting at the top, repeat Steps 1 & 2, to the inside
velcro flap on the side curtain. However, due to
variations, the velcro flap on the side curtain may
not always cover the velcro on the inside face of the
side perfectly. It is important to make sure the side
curtain is perpendicular to the side frame when
finished. (Note: Always align outside velcro flap
first.)

Common
Member EliminatorTM II
These instructions illustrate how to install a pair of
Eliminator™ II Side Curtains on a common member
side frame.
1. Align top edge of side curtain to top edge of side
frame at the same time aligning one of the velcro
flaps on the inside of the side curtain to the velcro
on the inside of the side frame on the same side.
(See Figure 3)
2. Make sure that the velcro flap completely covers the
velcro on the side frame.
3. Continue to align the velcro flap to the side frame
velcro at the top, and continue working downward to
the bottom of the side frame. Keep continuous
downward pressure on side curtain to avoid
wrinkles in fabric.
4. Starting at the top, repeat Steps 1 & 2, to the other
inside velcro flap on the side curtain assembly.
However, after the velcro is attached, an adjustment
may be needed to align the curtains properly. It is
important to make sure that the side curtains are
perpendicular to the side frame when finished.
Standard
EliminatorTM -GapmasterTM II
These instructions illustrate how to install a pair of
Eliminator™-GapMasterTM II Side Curtains that are on
a stand alone unit.
1. Align top edge of side curtain to top edge of side
frame at the same time aligning the velcro flap on
the outside of the side curtain to the velcro on the
outside of the side frame. (See Figure 4)
FIGURE 2 FIGURE 3
FIGURE 4

610 SERIES SIDE CURTAIN
Pub. 28600003 Rev. 1 - JUNE 2014 E3
2. Make sure that the velcro flap on the outside of the
side curtain completely covers the velcro on the
side frame. (See Figure 5)
3. Continue to align the velcro flap to the outside of the
side frame velcro at the top, and continue working
downward to the bottom of the side frame. Keep
continuous downward pressure on side curtain to
avoid wrinkles in fabric.
4. Starting at the top, repeat Steps 1 & 2, to the inside
velcro flap on the side curtain. However, the
Eliminator™-GapMasterTM II side curtains are
intentionally made to “toe” or angle inward toward
the door opening or building wall. (See Figure 5)
The outside velcro flap on side curtain is made
longer than the inside velcro flap. This is done to
reduce the effects of the hook pushing the curtain
face out on the header assembly. It is important to
make sure the side curtains are installed in this
fashion. The inside velcro flap on the side curtain
will overlap and go past the velcro on the inside of
the side frame. This is normal.

General Precautions
Introduction
The following installation instructions are complete
for all applications of the canopy style header that are
normally available. Any application of the canopy style
header that is outside of normal application guidelines,
should be referred to Order Engineering for installation
instructions. These instructions also assume that the
installer is outside the building facing the loading dock
position.

Installation
Standard Canopy Style Header
These instructions illustrate how to install a standard
pitch canopy style header on a stand alone unit and
assume that the header mounting brackets are
installed on side frames.
1. Lift the top curtain/bar assembly while still packaged
together and locate across the already installed
side frames. Position it on top so as the side arms
on the top frame are facing the wall and land
between the mounting brackets on side frames.
(See Figure 1)
2. Starting from the either side, cut the tie to release
the backer board free of the packaged assembly.
Once free, slide the backer board towards the
middle of side frame.
3. Insert the clevis pin in from outside until it comes
through the inside of the bracket. Install the
supplied bridge pin so it cannot slide back out. Do
this for both sides. (See Figure 2)
FIGURE 1
WARNING
Post safety warning and
barricade work area, at dock level
and ground level to prevent
unauthorized use of the dock
position while service work is
being performed.

4. Push the backer board back towards the mounting
bracket.
5. At this point, the header mounting brackets can be
drilled or you can wait until after Step 7. To do it
now, make sure the distance between mounting
brackets is correct for the unit to be installed.
(Reference 5656-0007, Figure 3) Drill appropriate
hole for the style of anchor to be used, into the
center of the 1” diameter hole on the header
mounting bracket.
6. Repeat this procedure for the other side.
7. While still on the side you just finished, slide one
end of the installation safety “U” bolt 1/3 the way
into the hole located on the side arm of the top
frame assembly. Lift the front bar assembly until the
“U” bolt aligns with the desired hole on the header
mounting bracket. (See Figure 3) (Note: The correct
hole is when the “U” bolt can be installed and leave
an ample amount of slack in the cover in order to
get backer board into the header mounting bracket.)
Install the “U” bolt all the way through the holes.
Attach the supplied nuts to the “U” bolt threads. For
normal installations, the nuts just can be hand
tightened.
8. Slowly lower the front bar down allowing the “U” to
take up the load.
9. Position yourself under the middle of the header
assembly. Slowly pick up the backer board and
position it behind the tabs on the header mounting
brackets. Insert one side first, then the other. Then
seat both completely. Do not push too hard,
mounting bracket is not mounted to wall yet. The
backer bar should rest on flange part on the
mounting bracket. (See Figure 4)
10. Install a minimum of (5) anchors into the wall that
the header is to be mounted to. (Refer to “Fastening
Methods” section for correct anchors and
attachment methods for the building style the
curtain is being installed on.) If not done already,
two of the (5) anchors need to be mounted on the
ends of the backer board. (See Figure 5) These
holes are pre drilled at the factory for correct
location. These anchors provide load bearing for
the backer board and they also anchor the
mounting brackets to wall.
FIGURE 2 FIGURE 3
WARNING
These two anchors must be installed
through the bracket. Failing to do so,
could cause injury and failure of the
unit to function properly.
WARNING
Do this slow, because the mount-
ing brackets are not anchored.
Dropping the front bar could
cause damage to unit.

610 SERIES CANOPY STYLE HEADER
F3 Pub. 16100003 Rev. 6 - SEPTEMBER 2015
Install three more anchors into the backer board in
the middle area of the unit. Install (1) centered into
the backer board based on the unit width, the other
two can be centered in the spaces left between
each end anchor and the center anchor. The three
anchor locations between the mounting brackets
can vary in location by +/-2” max.
11. Once all the anchors are installed. Go back to right
side of the header assembly and release the safety
“U” bolt. Again, release the load of the front bar to
mounting bracket slowly.
12. Once the front bar is self supporting, check the
locations of the curtain corners. Make sure there
are no hang ups of fabric. The header is self
supporting and heavy loads can be seen, it is
important that the corners fit properly. Once, the
corners are correct, bounce the header up and
down slightly. Do this by pushing up the fabric in the
middle of the header from underneath the inside of
the top. This helps pull the fabric around front bar
before curtain face is installed. Do this lightly, push
up front bar maximum of about 1/2”.
WARNING
The header unit is a self supporting
unit and requires proper installation
because of the load imposed on the
frame. Installing less than the
recommended amount of
(5)anchors, changing anchoring
locations and/or insufficient
anchors installation methods will be
dangerous, and have possible unit
failure. Note: Metal sided buildings
are required to have backup plates
installed and/or be installed into
suitable existing building girt or
purlins to sufficiently support the
header assembly for heavy loads
situations.

13. Caulk along the entire edge of the canopy top at the
building wall, making sure the ends are covered.
Use a good grade of flexible caulk.
14. Pull the end caps, located at each end, down to
cover the side frame. Attach the end cap to the side
frame backer using one of screws holding on the
mounting bracket. Attach the velcro on the inside of
the endcap to the velcro on the top flap of side
member.
15. Finally, wrap the end caps front flaps onto the front
bar velcro. (See Figure 6) Align edge on end cap to
top edge of the front bar itself. Do not align to
velcro. Also, do not pull end cap tightly around
corner. Allow the end cap to wrap corner loosely.
This allows the header to flex and proper movement
of side members relative to header during normal
operation. (See Figure 6)
Instructions
Flat Pitch - Over the Sides
The instructions for a flat pitch are the same as for a
standard pitch. The only differences is the header
mounting bracket which is made shorter to achieve the
flat top (Standard flat pitch comes without a gutter)
Instructions
Integral Hood
The instructions for a integral hood are the same as
for a standard pitch, except as noted below. The major
difference is the header mounting bracket which is
made longer to achieve the greater pitch.
1. Before starting Step 5 of the standard canopy style
header installation procedure, install an extra
anchor/fastener through the brackets at the top of
mounting bracket just below the area used for the
backer board. (See Figure 7) With the increased
height of the mounting bracket, extra support is
needed to hold bracket to wall before attaching the
front bar assembly. The front bar assembly imposes
a load on the bracket and with the increased height,
the load is increased. Make sure bracket is in the
correct location before attaching. Verifying bracket
spacing at this time is suggested.
2. Return to Step 5 of standard pitch canopy style
header installation procedure.
FIGURE 6
WARNING
This anchor/fastener is required
for installation. Failing to do so,
could cause injury.

Instructions
Common Member
These instructions illustrate how to install a standard
canopy style header, a flat pitch or an integral hood
with a common member side frame and assumes that
the header brackets are installed on side frames.
1. Starting from either side of the common member
side frame, lift the top curtain/bar assembly while
still packaged together and locate across the
already installed side frames. Position it on top so
as the side arms on the top frame are facing the
wall and land between the mounting brackets on
side frames, particularly on side of the common
member. (See Figure 8)
(Note: When installing common member
canopy style headers, it is easier to start from
the common member units and working your
way to the standard units. Start from the center
units (if applicable) and work your way out.
Always verify mounting distances between
header mounting brackets. Too much variances
in mounting distances can cause installation
problems with common member units.)
2. Next, lift the top curtain/bar assembly that
correspond to the other side of the common
member unit. Follow the same procedure as the
first for locating this assembly.
3. Cut the ties to release the backer board free of the
packaged assembly. Once free, slide the backer
board towards the middle of side frame.
4. Starting at the common member side frame, insert
the clevis pin in from one side of the common
mounting bracket through both individual header
side arms and out the other side the bracket. (See
Figure 9) While inserting the pin, install the nylon
spacers between the side arm (not shown) and
middle section of the bracket. One spacer goes on
each side of the middle section. The spacers are
used only on the common member mounting
brackets and are there to keep each header
assembly on the common member side frame
spaced apart from each other. Install the supplied
bridge pin so it cannot slide back out. Do this for
each common member and then for the standard
side frames.
5. Push the backer boards back towards the mounting
bracket.
