Pull  the  cover  back  until  the  cover  is  in  the 

track  equally  on  both  sides.    Pull  the  ropes 

tight  as  they  come  off  the  pulleys  on  the 

mechanism to eliminate the slack  in the rope. 

Note:  Cut  the  ropes  only  when  the  cover  is 

open completely.

Feed the wheel assembly and cover into the 

track.  The  slider  on  the  front  of  the  wheel 

assembly will lock into the track.

Place  a  guide  feed  (23)  over  the  end  of  the 

track.  Use a 3/16” drill bit to drill through the 

guide  feed.  Feed  the  wheel  assembly  and 

cover into the track.

Use  a  5/32”  allen  wrench  to  tighten  the 

screw on the guide feed.

Place a bonding wire lug (31) on top of the 

guide feed and secure with a 10-32 1-3/8” 

screw (46) and nylock nut (36).

Run the #8 copper bond wire (29) from the 

lugs on the guide feed to the lugs on each 

end of the mechanism.

Connect the bonding wire that is attached to 

the  front  corner  of  the  cover  to  the  leading 

edge bar using a tek screw (40).  Be sure the 

screw doesn’t interfere with the leading edge 

insert.

26

Install  a  track  stop  (47)  on  the  end  of  the 

track  on  each  track  to  keep  the  cover  from 

retracting too far. Run the key switch in the 

uncover position to roll the cover up on the 

roll-up  tube.   Check  the  cover  to  be  sure  it 

rolls  up  evenly. The  cover  fabric  installation 

is now complete.
