Cover conduit pipes 1.315" (See chart below.) •
Cover •
Ropes or straps long enough to reach over the frame •
(supplied by customer)

WARNING: To prevent damage to the cover and to
prevent serious personal injury, DO NOT attempt to
install the cover on windy days.
Locate the pipes for two (2) main cover conduits. Each
1.
cover conduit consists of the following pipes. See chart
below.
After assembling the cover conduits, locate the cover 3.
and unfold it on a clean, smooth surface near the
frame.
NOTE: When handling the cover and setting it in
position, do not pull on the end straps. They will pull out
of the cover. Unfold the cover with the inside surface
facing up.
Locate the cover ends with strapping and align
4.
strapping with the front and back of the shelter.
Insert the cover conduits into the pockets of the cover.

Connect these pipes by inserting the swaged ends 2.
of the pipes into the plain ends until each conduit is
assembled. Secure each pipe joint with a Tek screw
and wrap the pipe joint and Tek screw head with duct
tape to protect the cover.
To pull the cover over the frame, attach ropes or straps 6.
to both ends of the cover conduit farthest from the
frame. Wrap the rope or straps around the conduit a
few times to prevent it from slipping off.

NOTE: Depending on the length of the cover it may
be necessary to attach additional ropes to the cover
conduit between the end ropes by cutting a small
opening in the cover pocket and tying the rope around
the conduit. DO NOT cut through the cover. Cut
through the conduit pocket only.
Cover conduits are inserted into the pockets sealed
into the cover. The conduits are used to tighten and
secure the cover.
The photos above show where to make a cut in the
main cover pocket to attach additional ropes or straps
to pull a cover onto the frame of a long shelter.
