these tasks. All lifts should be done on command, using proper lifting
techniques to prevent injury to personnel.

The structure must be lifted uniformly. Do not twist or turn frame
components when handling. Damage to equipment may result. Ensure
all quick release pins in the lower arch assemblies are disengaged
before lifting.Keep material clear of hinge joints during lifting.
Place personnel outside the structure, two at each arch frame assembly (1) and two available to swing
the lower arch assemblies (2) out. Grasp the purlins (3) near the arch frame assemblies (1) for safety.
On command, lift one side of the structure and swing the lower arch assemblies (2) out, locking them
into position with the attached quick release pins (4).
Position the inside blackout flap (5) over the door header and attach the hook and pile (6) as shown.
Place the five grommets in one vehicle door section over the five carrier hooks in the door header.
Repeat for the other vehicle door section. Thread the braided draw cord attached to the inner door
section through the “D” ring on the underneath side of the door header and down through the “D” ring
attached to the inner door section near the personnel door. Repeat at other end of structure.
