TARP OPERATING SAFETY INFORMATION
Always use adequate caution when operating tarp.
Make sure tarp is open before unloading or loading.
Make sure nobody is on or near the tarping system before and during operating.
Do not operate tarp with box hoisted in an elevated position.
If tarp is covered with snow, it is important to remove snow before operating.
End caps must be free from grain that may be piled on them. Grain should not be heaped
higher than end caps.
Tarp may be fully opened or completely closed while in transit. However, the closed position
is recommended.
Instruct everyone who will operate this tarp the correct procedures of doing so, or have them
read this entire manual.
Insert snap pins whenever removing or placing crank in holders.

INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE
Periodic preventive maintenance should be practiced. Inspect tarp and hardware often for
abrasions or loosened bolts that may need adjustment and/or repair. Check cables for wear
and adjust tension whenever needed. Cable spools are factory greased, but over time and
use may require re-greasing.
If installed correctly, tarp should always operate as well as when first installed. If tarp does
not pass this simple inspection, make all appropriate repairs or adjustments immediately
before serious damage occurs.

OPERATION
Remove the retaining pin from the crank holder. Using both hands, carefully remove the
crank from the holder. Extend the crank handle assembly to a comfortable position at the rear
of the box. Roll the tarp to the desired location - fully open or fully closed position. Place the
crank in the holder and re-insert the retaining pin.
