X-TEND A-ROOM
TM
INSTALLATION AND OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
11. Assemble the center rafter roof pole and place the
ball end into the socket on the Center pole support.
See Fig. 8.
12. Unlock the lever and pull the center rafter pole until
C-Clip can be snapped onto the center of the arch of
the front pole assembly. Stretch the roof fabric taut
and lock lever.
Note: The center rafter pole will pop out of the ball socket if
too much tension is added.
13. A fabric flap 3" wide with loop tape sewn in,
surrounds the door opening of the X-Tend A-Room
TM
.
The hook tape must be placed where it will stretch
the fabric and seal around the door frame. Place this
fabric flap against the walls and ceiling and mark the
location. Peel the backing off the hook tape (approxi-
mately 12" at a time), and press it in place on the
walls and ceiling.
Note: To ensure adhesion of the tape to the walls and ceiling,
the surfaces must be clean and dry.
14. Locate a place for the ball sockets on the ramp
surface, where they will be out of the way; but allow
the ramp to close. The "OPEN" cutout should face
the direction of the ramp end to allow for the pole
rotation to different angles.See Fig. 9.
15. Attach the two ball sockets, one on each side of the
ramp with 2 #8 x 3/4" screws. Snap the front pole
assembly ball ends into the sockets. Loosen the
lock and extend each side equally until the fabric is
taut.
16. The fabric is held against the ramp with an elastic
cord stretched in a sleeve sewn into the bottom hem
of the fabric assembly. At the ends of the elastic
cord is a rubber coated hook that is to be attached
to the ramp.
If the elastic cord hook is not large enough to fit on
the edge of the ramp, four large J-hooks are provided.
Place the J-hook on the ramp edge and the elastic
cord hook is secured in the J-hook. See FIG. 10.
