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
1. To pull the cover over the frame, attach ropes or straps
to both ends of the cover conduit positioned
farthest
from the frame
. 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, toss the
ropes over the frame, and pull the cover into 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.
3. Once the main cover is pulled into position, center the
cover on the frame (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.
4. Locate the straps at the front and rear hems and feed
the straps through the center slot in each end ratchet.
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 may be a different style or length.

Ropes
NOTE:
Do not tighten completely at this time. This
helps to temporarily secure the cover.
5. Tie the ropes (or straps), used to pull the cover into
position, to the frame to help hold the cover.
6. Move to the other side conduit of the cover and
temporarily secure that side of the cover to the frame.
NOTE:
Tie short pieces of rope to the ends of the side
conduit and directly across from the ropes or straps
tied to the other side conduit to temporarily secure
the cover to the frame. Once side straps are installed
and slightly tightened, the temporary ropes can be
removed.
7. Continue with the installation of the side straps.
