 Packing Instructions for Installing DACS Frames in Vertical Packs
  1. Move cargo straps clear of deck.
  2. Slide (2) moveable clamping blocks (part 3) to extreme outward position.
  3. On each of the moveable clamping blocks, there is one width adjustment tang, one fixed steel bar and one movable steel right angle. Slide clamping blocks and steel right angle to their extreme outward position.
  4. Lower the frame onto approximate center of deck. Note: orient holes in end of frame with the fixed steel bars on the clamping blocks before loading frame on deck. If necessary, remove 4 lag bolts and plywood end as shown and remove one moveable clamping block to allow for easier installation of the frame.
  5. Slide moveable clamping blocks inward to contact frame (fixed steel bars in frame holes) and tighten (4) bolts on ends to secure. For details see dado trusses/clamping block page.
  6. Slide width adjustment tangs inward to contact frame and tighten (2) bolts to secure. Slide steel right angles into side of frame and tighten (4) bolts to secure. Note: on some frames width adjustment tangs cannot be used, steel right angles alone are sufficient.
  7. * Place desiccant bags at various locations on the unit, then place the anti-static bag over the unit and over the side rails to contact the deck. Note the polyethylene foam perimeter at the base of the side rails. Tape the humidity indicator at a location where it is visible through the bag.
  8. * Tightly wrap 1,' wide strapping tape around the base of the bag, compressing the foam to form a seal.
  9. Place (2) corrugated scored sheets on the deck, up against the side rails, with the printed panel of each sheet on the outside. Place one tipping indicator at the center of one length panel and one width panel.
  10. Secure the scored sheets around the base with squarehead nails.
  11. Locate wooden dado trusses on top of the frame. Align hole in blocks with hole in frame and bolt blocks in place. Secure the scored sheets with squarehead nails into the ends of the dado trusses.
  12. Put cap in place.
  13. Secure cap with cargo straps. Refer to Cargo Strap Buckling Instructions.
    * Disregard steps 7 and 8 when anti-static bags and desiccant are not used.
