INSTALL THE MAIN COVER SIDE STRAPS
The side straps wrap around slits created in the side
conduit pocket. The strap ends of each strap are then fed
into each side ratchet attached to the rafter legs and slightly
tightened to keep the cover in position.
Cover, rafter, and
frame design differ from actual shelter. Procedure is the
same.
Required parts and tools:
• CC5391 - 2" yellow straps (The following photos may
show a different strap; procedure is the same.)
• Tool to cut slits in cover conduit pockets
Complete these steps to install the side straps:
1. Working from inside the frame, move to one side
ratchet attached to a rafter and cut a slit in the conduit
pocket above the conduit in line with the ratchet.
Photos above show using a utility knife to cut a slit
above the conduit, which has been inserted into the
main cover side pocket.
NOTE:
If ropes were used at these locations when
the main cover was pulled in place, a slit in the cover
pocket may already be present.
When creating the slit in the pocket for the strap,
do not
cut the main cover. Cut only the pocket material.
2. Select one of the tie down straps (CC5391) that
shipped with the building and insert one end of the
strap through the slit and around the cover conduit.
NOTE:
Do not
tighten completely at
this time.
Frame and ratchet
location differ from
actual frame. Steps
to install the main
cover are similar
however.
NOTE:
Depending on the where the ratchet was
attached to the rafter, the strap may need to be cut to
the proper length.
3. Feed both ends of the strap through the slot in the
ratchet and slightly tighten the strap.
4. Repeat the previous steps to install and slightly tighten
the remaining straps.
5. After all side security straps are in place and slightly
tightened and the cover is centered evenly on the
frame, complete the following steps to install the PVC
cover conduit as described in the following procedure.
NOTE:
Do not
tighten completely
at this time.
