Fasten the curve angles to the end wall panels with the bolts su plie . The corner panels must be fastened to the outer curve angle through holes that must be field -drilled a proximately every nine inches around the. outside edge of the panel. After the end wall. panels have been fastened to the curve angles, install all remaining bolts betweenthe end wall panels, removing the.temporary end wall strapping as it is encountered. The bolts should be tight- ened to 6 - 8 foot-pounds of torque. Securing End Wall Panels To The Foundation After each end wall panel is installed, it must be -securely fastened to the foundation with anchor bolts and tie -down brackets or to the base connector using the pre -punched holes. Where no connector has been purchased, a bolt hole must be field-drille I d through the valley of the end wall panel in order to fasten it to a tie -down bracket. For end walls, the tie-d.?wn brackets are positioned in the interior of the building, at the center of each end wall panel. Please refer to our blueprint for correct anchor bolt locations. 0 CAUTION: Although anchor bolts `and tie -down brackets are not normally supplied with your building, they must be installed if you have not purchased our base connectors. They anchor your building to the foundation and help to prevent the end walls from being blown over, or lifted from the foundation by strong winds during construction. Installing End Walls with Framed Openings, When ordered, framed openings are supplied with the structural steel components to frame a typical over- head door. As doors vary from manufacturer to manufacturer, however, you are responsible for accommo- dating the door. to our system or vice versa. For end walls with framed openings the centerline of the open- ing must be established and marked on the foundation. From this point, mark half the distance of the open- ing width to the left and right of the centerline. This marks the location where the edge of the end wall panel on each side of the opening is set. After these first panels are in position, install the remainder of the end wall panels and the corner flat panels, working from the sides of the frames out to the walls as described above for solid end walls. Do not fully tighten the bolts at this time. Use the end wall strapping to maintain the correct center -to -center distance across the end wall panels as described above. If you have multiple framed openings in one end wall, you will repeat the above process for each opening. 45 05-02-18;11:59AM; ;757-422-9167 YF 7/ 9 r 1 OWN The panels must be adjusted as necessary to ensure that the resulting opening is square. The distance between the panels must be parallel from the top of the opening to bottom, and the diagonal distance, from the top of one panel to the bottom of the opposite panel, must be equal from both sides. When the opening is square and at the correct dimensions, tighten all the bolts and fasten the end wall panels to the curve angles and foundation as described above for solid end wails. Once you are completely satisfied with the size, location, and shape of the resulting opening, proceed to install all of the remaining bolts:and tighten them to 6-8 foot-pounds of'torque. Remove the temporary end wall strapping as you'go. A vertical door stiffener is supplied fo� both sides of the end wall opening. The stiffener is bolted to the end wall panel 'adjacent to the opening: Stand the stiffener up against this end Wall panel: The stiffener is sup- plied longer than required. Set it into, position' and mark it approximately one inch below the ridge of•'the arch. Cut the stiffener at that point. I uck the stiffener between the inner and outer curve angles at the top and attach to the adjacent end wall panel by install fasteners. Repeat for opposite side of the opening.

With the stiffeners in place, set the Connector.beam such that the bottom of the beam yields a framed open- ing that is square and at the opening heiCht specified on your blueprint. Field -drill two holes through the tabs on each.side of the connector beam into the end wall panel and stiffener and fasten with bolts. If the opening is wider than, 16', the connector beam maybe supplied in two sections. The two beams link to- gether with a splice plate, which is factory welded to one section of the beam. Insert the other connector beam into the splice plate and fasten witl� bolts through field -drilled bolt -holes. After the connector beam is bolted in place, install the over -door end wall panels. They install in the same manner as the other end wall panels except the bottom of these panels fasten to the flange across the top of the connector beam. Start at the middle of the opening and work your way out. Over -door flat panels mount above the outside corners of the door opening. The high side of the over -door flat panel bolts to the fast over -door end wall panel, and the lov side fastens to the end wall panel and stiffener adjacent to the opening. The bolt -holes on the low side of the flat panel will not align with the existing bolt -holes in the end wall panel (and stiffener) so they must be field -drilled. Use the holes in the flat panel as a guide and drill through the end wall panel and stiffener. When all of the over -door panels are in place, tighten the bolts and fasten the end wall and flat panels to the outer curve angle.

You will need to field -drill 3/8" diameter holes through the outer curve angle into the ridges of the overlapping end wall panels. Field - drill holes through the inner curve angl8into the valleys of the end wall panels. Fasten the curve angles to the end wall panels with the bolts supplied. The corner panels must be fastened to the outer curve angle through holes that must be field -drilled approximately every nine inches around the outside edge of the panel. ^' After each end wall panel is installed, i , must be securely fastened to the foundation with anchor bolts and tie -down brackets or to the base connector using the pre -punched holes. Where no connector has been purchased, a bolt hole must be field -drilled through the valley of the end wall panel in order to fasten it to a tie -down bracket. For end Walls, the tie I down brackets are positioned in the interior of the building, at the center of each.end wall panel. Please lefer to your blueprint for correct anchor bolt locations. QCAUTION: Although anchor bolts and tie -down brackets are not normally supplied with your building, they must be used if you have not purchased our base, connectors. They anchor your building to the foundation and help to prevent the end walls from being blown over, or lifted from the foundation by strong winds. _-- -- FIGU COMPLETE ENUWALL-S WITH`�OPENINGS .,Field Drill WRA- /r® I�®� ro-zle-0 :�11_0701A 48
