END HOOD ASSEMBLY
(Refer to Diagram A for a final assembly view)
The first step will be to assemble the end hoods. Locate
the adjustable canopy end assemblies. Note that there are
two- right and two- left hand assemblies. (See Diagram B,
Detail E.)
Next locate two of the canopy bows and place them on the
floor or ground with one each of the right and left hand as-
semblies placed at each end of the bows.
Identify the canopy bow that will be installed as the bow that
will form the upper curved portion of the canopy end section.
Slide two (2) each of the plastic canopy cord spool hooks on
each end of this canopy bow. A total of four canopy cord spool
hooks will be placed on this bow.
Insert one end of the two canopy bows over the round tubes
on one of the adjustable canopy end assemblies. Note that
one bow will lay flat on the floor while the other bow with the
canopy cord spool hooks installed will curve upward in the
form of the canopy once it is completely assembled.
Insert the other ends of the canopy bows onto the round tubes
on the second adjustable end assembly. Make sure that the
canopy bows are slid onto the round tubes as far as they can
without jamming or driving them on.
Mark the centers on the two canopy bows. Locate one of the
19” canopy end spacer tubes (Item 22 in Diagram B, Detail
E). Attach it to the canopy bow that is laying flat on the floor
or ground at the center location just marked. Secure together
with an end hood loop using a 1/4” x 2-1/4” carriage bolt and
nut provided as shown. Slip one of the canopy cord spool
hooks onto the 19” canopy end spacer tube. Secure the
other end of the spacer tube to the top bow with a second
end hood loop and 1/4” x 2-1/4” carriage bolt. Secure with a
¼” hex nut. Tighten.
Locate one of the 16” canopy end spacer tubes (Item 18 in
Diagram B, Detail D). Attach it to the canopy bow that is laying
flat on the floor or ground at the ¼ point (center between the
end of the canopy bows and the 19” spacer tube just installed
in the center). Secure together with an end hood loop using
a 1/4” x 2-1/4” carriage bolt and nut provided as shown. Slip
one of the canopy cord spool hooks onto the 16” canopy
end spacer tube. Rotate the spacer tube up and slide either
towards or away from the 19” center spacer tube until it will
fit between the two canopy bows. Secure the other end of the
spacer tube to the top bow with a second end hood loop and
1/4” x 2-1/4” carriage bolt. Secure with a ¼” hex nut. Tighten.
Repeat on the other side of the end hood assembly.
Locate the ½” long black plastic caps supplied in the hard-
ware. Push one of them onto each of the bolts sticking
through the nut securing the spacer tube to the flat canopy
bow. This will protect the vinyl cover from fraying when it
comes in contact with the bolt.
Measure up and place a mark at 7 ½” and 10 ½” from each
end of the upper canopy bow forming the top curve. Place
the mark on the bottom side of the tube.
