ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS – BATTENED / BRACED FRAMES
Note: Frame battens and braces must be positioned in accordance with the dimensions
contained within the ‘frame assembly schedule’.
To assist assembly we recommend the use of an assembly jig and work bench.
When using swage connections ensure the swage tool corresponds to the type of
upright, i.e. the ‘K’ tool for the ‘K’ upright and the ‘EK’ tool for the ‘EK’ upright.
A. Insert the end of the frame batten into the open U-shaped part of the upright (1).
With swage battens align the oval holes of both batten and upright.
With riveted battens align the holes in the batten with the round holes in the upright.
B. To make a swage connection, first pass the tool through the oval hole in the batten and
then through the oval hole in the upright, and then rotate the tool through 180°. (2)(3).
C. Rivets must first pass through the hole in the batten and then into the upright hole.
D. Fix all braces and battens to the first upright, and then turn the assembly over to fix the
braces and battens to the second upright. (4).
E. Assemble the baseplates. (5).
F. Check and ensure all connections are secure.
