ATTACH MAIN COVER

Gather the parts:
• Main cover (with conduits already inserted)
• Ropes long enough to reach over the frame (provided

by customer).

• Box cutter or utility knife

Assembly Procedure
1. To pull the cover over the frame, attach ropes to both

ends of the cover conduit. Wrap the rope 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 main cover.

Cut

through the conduit pocket only.

2. With all ropes attached to the cover conduit, lift the

conduit and carry the cover toward the base of the

frame.

3. Set the conduit down, toss the ropes over the frame,

and pull the cover into position. Position one person

at each rope. Verify that the cover pockets are to the

inside of the building. This will be the underside of the

cover when it is pulled into position on the frame.

4. Once the main cover is pulled into position, center the

cover on the frame and remove the ropes. Loosely

secure the ends of the cover to the side ratchets

attached to the front and back end rafters.

WARNING:

To prevent damage and injury, do not

leave the cover unattended if it has not been properly

secured.

The ropes can be used to temporarily keep

the cover from blowing off the frame.

5. Locate the black straps at the front and rear hems

and feed the straps through the center slot in the end

ratchets located on outside each end rafter.

NOTE:

Do not tighten completely at this time. This

helps to temporarily secure the cover.

6. Tie the ropes (or straps), used to pull the cover into

position, to the frame to help hold the cover.

7. Move to the other side conduit of the cover and

temporarily secure that side of the cover to the frame.

NOTE:

Tie ropes to the ends of the side conduit and

directly across from the ropes or straps tied to the

other side conduit to temporarily secure the cover to

the frame. Once side straps are installed and slightly

tightened, the cover is stretched end-to-end.

8. Continue with the installation of the side straps.

NOTE:

Use lifts and additional assistants (if needed) to

help pull the cover up and over the frame.
