PREPARE MAIN COVER

Gather the parts:
•  Ratchet (1")
•  Pipe 1.315" x 75" swaged (#131S075)
•  Pipe 1.315" x XX" plain (#131P0XX): Consult the Side

Profile diagrams for cover conduit pipe identification.

• Cover and Tek screws

Assembly Procedure

The main cover is attached to the shelter sides using straps

and ratchets.

The main cover ends (front and back) are secured at each

corner using a ratchet attached to the end rafter leg. The

straps to secure the ends of the main cover come pre-

installed in the cover bonnet.

NOTE:

When handling the main cover and setting it in

position, do not pull on the end straps. They will pull out of

the cover.

WARNING:

To prevent damage to the cover and to

prevent serious personal injury, DO NOT attempt to

install the main cover on windy days.

1. Fasten a ratchet to the end rafter leg using a Tek screw

as shown below. Position the ratchet as low as possible

that still allows free operation. Repeat this step at all

remaining corners.

2. Assemble two main cover conduits. Start each conduit

assembly with one plain pipe and add swaged pipes to

arrive at the correct length. Secure each pipe joint with

a Tek screw and wrap the joint with duct tape.

These cover conduits are inserted into the pockets

sealed to the main cover. The cover conduits are used

to tighten and secure the main cover.

3. After assembling the cover conduits, locate the main

cover and unfold it on a clean, smooth surface near the

frame.

NOTE:

Unfold the main cover with the inside surface

facing up.

4. Locate the cover ends with strapping and align with the

front and back of the shelter.

Do not insert any conduit

into a cover pocket that includes an installed strap.

5. Insert the cover conduits into the side pockets of the

main cover.

NOTE:

Shelter shown above may differ from actual

frame in length or design.

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