ATTACH MAIN COVER

Gather parts:
• Main cover (with conduits inserted)
• Ropes (provided by customer) or strap long enough to

reach over frame

• Box cutter or utility knife

WARNING:

To prevent damage and injury, do not leave

cover unattended if it has not been properly secured.

Ropes can be used to temporarily keep cover from

blowing off frame.

Assembly Procedure

1. To pull cover over frame, attach ropes or straps to both

ends of cover conduit positioned

farthest from frame

Wrap rope around conduit a few times to prevent it

from slipping off.

See diagram on previous page.

NOTE:

Depending on cover length it may be necessary

to attach additional ropes to conduit between end

ropes. Cut small openings in cover pocket and tie rope

around conduit. DO NOT cut through main cover.

Cut

through conduit pocket only.

2. With all ropes attached conduit, toss ropes over frame,

and pull cover into position. Position one person

at each rope.

Verify the cover stretch pockets (if

equipped) are to the inside. This will be the underside

of cover when it is pulled into position.

3. Once cover is pulled into position, center it on frame

(end-to-end and side-to-side).

WARNING:

To prevent damage and injury, do not leave

cover unattended if it has not been properly secured.

4. Locate straps at front and rear hems. Feed through

center slot in each end ratchet. Operate ratchet to wrap

strap onto center hub just enough to keep secure.

NOTE:

Use lifts and additional assistants (if needed) to

help pull cover up and over frame.

Shelter shown may be a different style or length.

Conduit

Ropes

NOTE:

Do not tighten completely at this time. This

helps to temporarily secure cover.

5. Tie ropes (or straps)—used to pull cover—to frame to

help hold cover.

6. Move to other side conduit and temporarily secure that

side to frame.

NOTE:

Tie short pieces of rope to ends of side conduit

and directly across from ropes or straps tied to other

side conduit to temporarily secure cover. Once side

straps are installed and slightly tightened, remove

temporary ropes.

7. Continue with installation of side straps.

back) of the
