DOUBLE-LAYER FILM INSTALLATION

During cover installation, install IR/AC film first! Examine film and install it according to instructions printed on film.
Actual frame may differ
from example shown.
ATTENTION:

size, the roll-up side panels may be part
of the main cover, or they may be an
individual panel cut from a separate roll
of film.
