SPECIAL NOTES FOR Solø™ 30, 33 & 39 CANOPY FRAMES
1.
These Solø™ canopies add a center extension section to a Solø™ 26 canopy.
2.
The center section pieces are added in as the side rail and ridge rail assemblies are built. The
same splice plates and rafter clips are used to connect the additional pieces.
3.
The pair of ridge rafter clips near the center of the canopy that do not connect any ridge rails
together are allowed to 'float' in the ridge rail dovetail slots without being bolted to the rails. Note
that the floating rafter clips will not be positioned at the exact center of the canopy.

END RAIL ASSEMBLY
The "end" rail assemblies are identical. The rails
themselves are symmetrical, so there is no need
to orient them in any particular direction before
starting assembly.
1.
Slide four Bungee Clips and a Medium Rafter Clip
into each rail dovetail and space them evenly as
shown below.
2.
Slip an 'end' lacing rail with grooves facing up
into the clips installed in Step 1 and center it.
Repeat for the other end rail.
3.
Slide the four 'corner' Splice Plates into the
dovetails as shown at left and secure them with
one flat head bolt and flange nut each. Note that
they must be oriented as shown at left.

4.
The pair of canopy legs that are not
attached to the lift have flat feet that sit on the
ground. These legs are attached to the canopy
frame after it is installed on the lift as shown
on page 25. Attach the canopy leg clips and
legs to the canopy side rails in the desired
location. Extend them down to the lakebed.
Use a level on the legs to determine plumb
and position the foot pad. Raise or remove the
canopy leg, stake the foot pad in position, then
over-sleeve the foot pad leg with the canopy
leg. Secure all fasteners.
