Cover Conduits
Cover
Ends with
Strapping
4. Locate the cover ends with strapping and align cover
with the front and back of the shelter.
5. Insert the cover conduits into the pockets of the cover.
10. At the ends, locate the black straps. Using the straps
as guides, fasten ratchets to the outside of the end
rafter legs using a Tek screw.
NOTE:
Allow a few inches to remain between the end
of the cover and the ratchet.
Ropes
12. Place the D-ring straps on the ground along one side
of the shelter next to the rafter where they will be
attached. Place the plain straps and ratchets
on the
opposite side of the shelter
at the same rafters as the
D-ring straps.
NOTE:
Shelter shown above may differ in length from
the actual model.
6. 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 cover.
Cut
through the conduit pocket only.
7. With all ropes attached to the cover conduit, lift the
conduit and carry the cover toward the base of the
frame.
8. Toss the ropes over the frame and pull the cover into
position. One person is required at each rope.
9. Center the cover end-to-end and side-to-side.
