INSTALL THE PVC CONDUIT FOR MAIN COVER ENDS

The PVC conduit is inserted into notched pockets at each

end of the main cover. Strapping is then threaded around

the conduit and the end rafters. This strapping is evenly

tightened to stretch the main cover from end-to-end.

Required parts and tools:
•  LJ2842 (3/4" PVC conduit) and 103620 (1" strap)
•  Duct tape, Tek screws, and driver for Tek screws
•  Tool to cut strap, a lift or ladders to reach top of frame,

and assistants to install and tighten strap

Photo shows the stretch pocket and the conduit and

strapping as installed for a similar main cover. View shows

the cover as seen when standing inside the frame looking

up at the end rafter.

For long shelters, PVC conduits are used near the ends of

the main cover to provide an additional tie-down position.

Complete these steps to install the conduit and strapping

for the stretch pockets of the main cover.
1. Take the first section of PVC conduit and feed it into the

stretch pocket from the bottom at one end of the cover.

Insert the plain end of the conduit into the pocket so the

next section can be joined to the first.

Photo above shows a similar cover and the location of the

stretch pocket. Cover is shown with the underside, which

is the side visible from inside the frame when the cover is

installed, facing up.

installed PVC conduit at the end of a similar main cover.

NOTE:

Some covers

straps. If slots need to

be created, cut only the

cover pocket;

do not cut

the main cover

Space slot 18" to 24"

apart on-center if these

need created.
