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.
Required parts and tools:
• 103620E (1" black strap)
• Tool to cut slits in cover conduit pockets
Complete these steps to install the side straps:
1. Move to one side ratchet attached to a rafter, lift the
cover skirt, and cut a slit in the conduit pocket above
the conduit and 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. Cover, rafter, and frame design
differ from actual shelter. Procedure is the same.
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 the 2" yellow tie down strap 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.
Some shelters are shipped with a roll of bulk strap. If
this is the case for the shelter, cut a length of strap from
the roll and continue.
3. Feed both ends of the strap through the slot in the
ratchet and slightly tighten the strap.
NOTE:
Depending on the where the ratchet was
attached to the rafter, the strap may need to be cut to
the proper length.
4. Repeat the previous steps to install and slightly tighten
the remaining straps.
5. After all side straps are installed and slightly tightened,
install the PVC conduit at each end of the main cover.
NOTE:
Do not
tighten completely
at this time.
