18. Tighten tarp by holding the crank
firmly with both hands and roll the
main tarp tube counter-clockwise up
under the latch plate. Next, bring the
crank handle down perpendicular to
the ground. Continue by lifting it up
into the crank retainer. Note: a slight
bow in crank tube should indicate
adequate tension. Repeat step 18 while adjusting the
splined shaft and U-joint one tooth at
a time to achieve 40-60 pounds of
tension at the handle end of the crank.
19. Install warning decal near the crank
retainer. Failure to install the de-
cal and follow the instructions will
void warranty.
16. Install crank standoff (15) to wagon
or cart. OPTIONAL: Install crank
standoff with U-bolts to rear ladder.
Attach crank retainer (16) and bush-
ing (17) with capscrew (1). See Fig.
12.
17. Unroll tarp and let hang over edge of
box. Pull stretch rope until all slack
has been removed from the roll re-
turn assembly. Mark the stretch rope
1" from the aluminum cap. Thread
the stretch rope through the eyebolt
until the mark passes through. Tie a
knot on the mark. Cut off excess
stretch cord and melt frayed ends.
