                                not dragged or dropped; this may damage the ends and the structure or result in other
                                unseen damage.

                                  - Are only valid for static loads and spans with two supporting points (one at each end);
                                  - Are to be considered for indoor use only. If dynamic loads or more supporting points
                                    are applied contact a structural engineer or Arcofab;
                                  - Are valid when the truss is used with the diagonals oriented vertically
                                    (see attached figures in page G-3);
                                  - Are valid when the end plates are installed vertically for the bolted trusses
                                    (see figure in page G-3 – note 1);
                                  - Are valid when the pins are installed horizontally for the spigoted trusses
                                    (see figure in page G-3 – note 2);
                                  - Take into consideration the self-weight of the trusses and indicate how much additional
                                    weight may be safely added;
                                  - Deflexions are theoretical (based on the rigidity of the truss when full loaded). Actual
                                    deflexion may be slightly higher because of possible movement between truss sections
                                    due to attachment tolerance;
                                  - When corner blocks are used, loading capacity must be reduce by 50% when corners
                                    are loaded on two adjacent faces.
                                                                                                                    10 / 2010   G-1

                                Arcofab trusses are engineered and built to provide many years of reliable service provided
                                that they are used within the recommended loading parameters and handled properly.
                                Nuts, bolts, and washers should be replaced periodically as regular use degrades bolt
                                threads. Never over-torque nuts and bolts beyond manufacturer specifications and always
                                use Grade 8 nuts, bolts, and washers.

                             A visual inspection of each section is required before every use. Furthermore, a complete
                             inspection shall be performed at least once a year (or more often depending on the
                             intensity and frequency of use). Every piece shall be carefully inspected by a competent
                             person in order to guarantee the strength and safety. Documentation on inspection
                             shall be registered and kept on file. Every inspected piece shall be clearly marked and
                             easy to identify.
                             When truss sections show damage that might affect the safety aspect, it is mandatory to
                             discard and mark them clearly so they won’t be put back into service. Damaged sections
                             can be submitted to Arcofab for evaluation and repair if possible. Should you have any
                             doubt, please contact Arcofab technical department.

                            s   All loads must be applied at, or as close as possible to, node points (see General Section).

                                possible movement between trusses due to attachment tolerance.
                            s   For span exceeding 20' (6m), loads are for laterally supported truss.
                            s   Data are valid for inside use only.
                            s   Data are only valid for static loads and spans with two supporting points (span must be supported at each end).
                                If dynamic loads or more supporting points are applied, contact a professional engineer or Arcofab.
