Step 7: Tarp Stop Installation
Please proceed to the Option which best suits your application.
Option 1 of 2: Round Tarp Stop
(See Figure 11)
Procedure: Raise the roll-tube and place it on the top passenger side of the bows and end caps making sure that the roll
tube spline is at the rear of the trailer. Reverse rolls would be placed on the driver side. Roll out the tarp to the driver side
(passenger side for reverse roll). Position the tarp so that the material sits 2 inches in from the face of the front end cap.
Smoothen the tarp out and apply as much tension to it as possible by pulling down on the loose end of the tarp. The
pocket holding the quick release pipe (H) should hang down the side of the trailer approximately 3-1/2 inches. The quick
release pipe (1-1/8” pipe in the tarps pocket) will be held against the side of the trailer by the round tarp stops (I) shown in
Figure 11. Make sure the tarp material is 2 inches in from the face of the front end cap. Mount the front round tarp stop 4
inches in from the front edge of the tarp material. Drill a 5/16" hole through the predrilled holes in the tarp stop and into
the trailer. Secure the stops using the 3/8"x1-1/4" self-threading bolts provided. Next mount the rear tarp stop 4 inches in
from the rear edge of the tarp material, ensure the tarp material is pulled tight from end to end. The remaining round tarp
stops are to be centered according to the length of the trailer. Make sure that the quick release pipe (H) is positioned
parallel with the trailer lip.
Option 2 of 2: Round Flip-Release Tarp Stop
(See Figure 12-14)
Procedure: Locate the front round bracket (J) 4 inches in from the face of the front end cap and 3/4" lower than the top
edge of the trailer. Using a 5/16" drill bit, drill two holes through the predrilled holes in the bracket and into the trailer.
Secure the bracket to the trailer using two 3/8"x1-1/4" self-threading bolts (K) provided. Remove the 1/4"x3" hex bolt (L)
from the flip-release tarp stop (M). Insert the bolt through the bracket (J) and through the tarp stop (M). Secure using the
1/4" lock nut. Torque the bolt appropriately so the flip-release tarp stop will remain in the unlocked position (see Figure
14). Remove the quick pin from the bottom hole of the flip-release tarp stop and adjust the tarp stop so it is in the
unlocked position (see Figure 14). Install the rear bracket 4 inches in from the face of the rear end cap and 3/4" lower than
the top edge of the trailer. Evenly space the remaining flip-release tarp stops along the same side of the trailer making
sure to mount the brackets 3/4" lower than the top edge of the trailer. Position the quick release pipe (N) in the round
brackets (J) (see Figure 12-13). Adjust the tarp so that it sits two inches in from wind deflector on the front end cap. Once
the tarp is in position engage the stops into the locked position (see Figure 14). Reinsert the quick pins through the
bottom holes in the round flip-release stops. (
