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. Divide the remaining number of ratchets in half. Place
the ratchets on the ground next to the rafter where they
will be attached.
NOTE:
Ratchets are evenly spaced along each side of
the shelter and directly across form each other on the
same rafter assembly. See the example below.
ATTACH MAIN COVER
Gather the parts:
• Main cover (with conduits already inserted)
• Ropes long enough to reach over the frame (provided
by customer).
• Ratchets
• Tek screws
• Box cutter or utility knife
Assembly Procedure
1. To pull the cover over the frame, attach ropes to both
ends 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. Using the main cover conduit as a guide, attach the
ratchets to the rafters at the proper height. Fasten
ratchets to the outside of these rafters using a Tek
screw.
