ATTACH END PANEL ASSEMBLIES
Gather the parts:
• End panel assemblies
• Tek screws (#FA4482B) and washers
• Measuring tape and scissors
Assembly Procedure:
1. While standing inside the shelter, start at the peak of
the end rafter and pull the solid (plain) end panel over
the top of the rafter so the panel edge is wrapped to the
inside of the rafter.
NOTE:
Use additional help to pull the end panel in
position over the entire rafter. It may be helpful to have
someone stand on the conduit to keep it on the ground
when stretching and attaching the end panel.
2. Move to the lower section of the rafter leg and end
panel on each side of the rafter, fold the end panel
material around the rafter tube, and secure it with
Tek screws and washers on the inside of the rafter
approximately 12" up from the conduit.
Attaching the end panel in this manner keeps the
lower section of the end panel in place as the panel is
stretched and secured to the rafter.
NOTE:
The screws are inserted on the backside or
inside surface of the rafter to prevent damage to the
main cover when it is installed.
3. Evenly space the screws and washers along the rafter
and pull the end panel tight as the screws are installed.
4. After securing the lower section of the end panel, move
to the top, stretch the panel to remove wrinkles, and
secure it in place as previously described.
12"
5. Continue attaching the end panel by working evenly
down both sides of the rafter toward the base frame
tube.
NOTE:
If necessary, remove the Tek screws at the
bottom of each rafter leg to work wrinkles out of the
end panel and reinstall the Tek screws.
6. After installing the first end panel, repeat the steps to
attach the remaining end panel.
NOTE:
The excess end panel material can be
removed, or folded under and attached to the rafter
as described earlier. If the excess is removed, allow at
least six inches (6") to remain beyond the Tek screws. If
the panel is removed for any reason, the extra material
is used to pull the panel tight.
7. After installing both end panels, install the ratchets.
