Pull each canopy section out to the position where you want it to
end.    Place  a 

Top  Lock  Bracket 

on  the  top  of  the  track  in  the

orientation shown in Fig. 2A.  Tighten set screw 1 on both sides of
the 

Top  Lock  Brackets

with  the  Allen  wrench  provided  (I)  .  .  .

making sure that the 

Top Lock Brackets

are completely pushed

down on the track before tightening. 

Test  the  snap-in 

Top  Lock  Bracket

and  tighten  or  loosen  the

adjusting  screws  as  required  for  the  desired  tension.    The
recommended  tension  setting  procedure  is  to  turn  the  adjust
screw clockwise until it stops, and then back the adjust screw out
six full revolutions  Repeat this step on each lock mechanism.

Step 17 

Installing the

Top Lock Brackets

Pull  each  canopy  back  to  the  fully  retracted  position.    Place
another 

Top  Lock  Bracket

on  each  track  at  this  point,  in  the

orientation shown in Fig. 2A.  Tighten the set screws.

NOTE:  

The locking system is designed to release the canopies in

high winds to protect the canopies.  The adjusting screws can be
used  to  adjust  the  tension.    Do  not  over-tighten,  as  this  could
increase the chance for canopy damage in high winds.

Step 19  

Adjusting the

handle height 

(optional)

Each canopy has the handle overhang approximately 18” from
the  tracks.   This  drop  handle  is  for  opening  and  closing  the
canopies.  However, if you must have less than an 18” overhang,
follow  the  instructions  below  for  shortening  the  handle
height.

1. Remove all screws in the handle and open the 

handle the entire width.

2. Cut the fabric to the desired length.

3. Carefully  close  the  handle  and  re-insert  the  screws

provided - do not overtighten.

4. Reinstall the top caps in the end of the handle.
