INSTALL LEGS

This section describes attaching the legs to the roof frame. 

See illustration below to identify main parts of the frame.
1.  Using the leg pipes, insert the legs into the 3-way and 

4-way couplers of the main frame. 

Do not install the 

main frame legs during a storm or windy day

.

2.  Secure each pipe in the coupler using the locking 

eyebolt. If the couplers are not equipped with locking 

eyebolts, secure each pipe in the coupler using a Tek 

screw. 

 

ATTENTION

: If used, position Tek screws so they 

will 

not

 touch the main cover when installed. 

3.  Inspect the frame for sharp edges or Tek screws that 

could damage the covers. Reinstall the Tek screws if 

necessary (or rotate the pipes) and remove or tape any 

sharp edges.

4.  After the entire frame is assembled, verify that each 

locking eyebolt is tight.

5.  Set the frame in the desired location and measure 

diagonally from corner-to-corner to square the frame. 

The diagonal measurements will be identical when the 

frame is square.

6.  Properly anchor the assembled frame as described in 

the MUST READ document included with the shipment.  

 

NOTE:

 DO NOT install the cover without anchoring the 

frame.

7.  After anchoring the frame, continue with attaching the 

main cover.
