4. Once the main cover is pulled into position, center the
cover on the frame and remove the ropes. Loosely
secure the ends of the cover to the ratchets attached to
the front and back end rafters.
ATTENTION:
Do not tighten the straps at this time.
5. Place the D-ring straps on the ground along one side
of the shelter beside the rafters. Place the plain straps
and ratchets
on the opposite side of the shelter
at the
same rafters as the D-ring straps. (Strap and ratchet
locations may vary between frames.)
NOTE:
Position straps and ratchets as evenly as
possible. Depending on the number of rafters, some
ratchets may be positioned as shown.
ATTACH MAIN COVER
Gather the parts:
• Main cover (with conduits already inserted)
• Ropes long enough to reach over the frame (provided
by customer)
• D-ring straps and plain straps
• Tek Screws and fender washers
• Box cutter or utility knife
Assembly Procedure
1. To pull the cover over the frame, attach a rope to each
end of the cover conduit. Wrap the rope around the
conduit a few times to prevent it from slipping off.
NOTE:
Depending on the length of the cover 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.
2. With all ropes attached to the cover conduit, lift the
conduit and carry the cover toward the base of the
frame.
3. Toss the ropes over the frame and pull the cover into
position. One person is required at each rope.
6. On the side of the shelter where the D-ring straps are
located, lift the cover skirt and cut a slit through the
main cover pocket at the rafters where the straps will
be installed.

7. Thread the D-ring strap through the slit in the cover
pocket, wrap it around the cover conduit, and attach
the strap assembly to the rafter.
NOTE:
Verify that the cover is centered side-to-side
before attaching the D-ring straps.
