ATTACH MAIN COVER
Gather the parts:
Main cover (with conduits inserted)
•
Ropes (provided by customer) or strap long enough to reach over the frame
•
Box cutter or utility knife
•
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.
Assembly Procedure
To pull the cover over the frame, attach ropes or straps to both ends of the
1.
cover conduit positioned
furthest from the frame (or on top of a fan-folded
cover)
. Wrap the rope around the conduit to prevent it from slipping off.
NOTE:
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.
Once the main cover is pulled into position, center the cover on the frame
4.
(end-to-end and side-to-side).
WARNING:
To prevent damage and injury, do not leave the cover
unattended if it has not been properly secured.
Locate the black straps at the front and rear hems and feed the straps
5.
through the center slot in each end ratchet (QH1061). Operate the ratchet
to wrap the strap onto the center hub just enough to keep the strap secure.
NOTE:
Use lifts
and additional
assistants (if
needed) to help
pull the cover
up and over the
frame.
Shelter shown above may be a different style or length.

NOTE:
Do not tighten completely at this time. This helps to temporarily
secure the cover.
Tie the ropes (or straps), used to pull the cover into position, to the frame to
6.
help hold the cover.
Continue with the installation of the side straps.

NOTE:
Cover shown
may differ from the
actual cover for your
building.
With all ropes attached to the cover conduit, lift and carry the conduit and
2.
cover toward the base of the assembled frame. (Skip if cover is fan-folded.)
Set the conduit down, toss the ropes over the frame, and pull the cover into
3.
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.
