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.
