STEP 5
Attach Panels
The Universal TAU-II system uses two types of
panels: Sliding Panels (Figure 20) and End Panels
(Figure 21). Sliding Panels have a pair of holes
forward and two long slots running the length of the
panels. End Panels have a pair of holes at each end
and do not have slots. Sliding panels are used on all
collapsing bays. End panels are attached to the
backstop only (Call BSI for non-proprietary transition
options). Slider Bolts hold the panels to the
bulkheads. Some systems require nested panels
(doubled) on rearward bays.
NOTE: Refer to the System Configuration Chart in
Appendix "A" to determine if/where nested
panels are required. A long bolt is supplied to
assist in the assembly to nest the panels.
Install the panels from back to front staggering from
each side. Place the End Panels first. While holding
the End Panel in place, lap the forward Sliding Panel
over it and bolt through the slot, End Panel, and Pipe
Panel Mount (Figure 22). Leave the nuts of the Slider
Bolts loose and perform on both sides. Lap the next
forward Sliding Panel and bolt through the slot, hole
set in rearward Sliding Panel, and bulkhead. Leave
the Slider Bolt nuts loose and progress forward
alternating sides (Figure 23).
nested panels, perform procedure with (2) panels,
one nested inside the other.
The last panels to be installed will be on the first bay
of the system, the Front Support. These panels lap
the rearward panel and fasten to the 2
from the front as instructed above. The front of these
panels will mount to the Front Support through the
Nose Piece. Refer to Section 6 for this connection
(Figure 26).
Leave the Slider Bolt nuts loose until the system is
almost completely assembled and installed.
