Cover

Conduit

Ropes

ATTACH MAIN COVER

Gather the parts:
• Main cover (with conduits already inserted)
• Ropes long enough to reach over the frame (provided

by customer).

• 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.

4. Once the main cover is pulled into position, center the

cover on the frame (side-to-side and end-to-end).

WARNING:

To prevent damage and injury, do not

leave the cover unattended if it has not been properly

secured.

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 directly across from the ropes or straps tied to

the other side conduit to temporarily secure the cover

to the frame. DO NOT LEAVE THE MAIN COVER

UNSECURED AND UNATTENDED!

7. Continue with the installation of the side straps.

NOTE:

Use lifts and additional assistants (if needed) to

help pull the cover up and over the frame.

End framing

is not shown.
