===== 4. Assembly =====

The tour is stacked from connector nodes. Each node = the [[mobil:assemblies:structures:connector|connector]] assembly (2x T + 1x X), joined by tubes. Built flat, then tilted upright.

  - **Lay out the base level.** Three squares side by side on the ground; join the nodes with straight tubes.
  - **Add the verticals.** One straight tube into each ground node, pointing up; connect.
  - **Close the top surface.** Cap with straight tubes.
  - **Add panels.** Mount square panels where wanted.
  - **Tilt 90 and add the base.** Stand the structure upright on its hinge, then add the base for stability.

//Each step maps to a stage in the viewer above.//

===== 5. Safety & correct use =====

==== Build safety ====
  * Pinch points at every connector - keep fingers clear when seating joints.
  * Don't hammer pins with the frame unsupported; seat the joint by hand first.
  * Tilting a tall frame upright needs enough hands - never lift it short-handed.

==== Use & load limits ====
  * **Max vertical load (stage/roof):** . kg //(to define / test)//
  * **Do not climb** the frame unless rated and ballasted.
  * **Wind:** above . km/h, remove banners and ballast or take down. //(define - tall, wind-critical)//
  * Never leave a tall configuration up unattended in changing weather.

==== Ballast / anchoring ====
  * Footprint anchoring with [[mobil:parts:accessories:water_weight|water weights]] at the base corners - mandatory for any raised or sail-bearing configuration.
  * [[mobil:parts:accessories:ropes|Ropes]] to fixed points where available.
  * Minimum ballast: . kg per corner //(define per configuration)//.

===== 6. Takedown & storage =====

  - Remove add-ons and ballast first.
  - Tilt the frame back down flat before breaking joints.
  - Pull top pins, lift off top surface.
  - Pull verticals.
  - Break the base levels. Nodes can stay assembled for next time, or break to flat-pack.
  * **Packs into:** [[mobil:parts:logistics:normal_bike_trailer|normal bike trailer]] (tubes + euroboxes for connectors).
  * Store dry. Check pins aren't bent before repacking.
