Shortening the canopy length (optional)
A
Lay the canopy on a flat clean surface. The fabric
should be removed from the back end of the canopy.
This is the end opposite of the drop down handle.
B
Remove the roller sleeve assemblies at both ends of
the last crossmember. To do this, first fully extend the
roller, then push down on the locking tab and pull the
roller sleeve outward as shown in the figure below.
C
Now remove the fabric clamp. To do this, insert a flat
head screw driver between the canopy fabric and the
fabric clamp. Pry upward to release the fabric clamp as
shown in the figure below.
NOTE: RIVETS NEED TO BE DRILLED OUT BEFORE
PRYING THE FABRIC CLAMP LOOSE.
D
From the back end of the canopy, measure the desired
distance. Make a mark at this distance on both outside
edges of the fabric as shown below.
E
Place the bottom crossmember (aluminum) under-
neath the canopy, centering it on the two marks.
Position the bottom crossmember so the punched
square holes at the ends are facing downward. Hold-
ing the bottom crossmember in this position,
re-assemble the crossmember assembly by snapping
the fabric clamp in place at both ends and pressing
down, working toward the center as shown in the
figure below.
NOTE:
If your canopies have rivets holding the cross-
member assembly together, these would need to be
drilled out with a 9/64” drill bit and re-riveted. If you are
not comfortable doing this, please consider sending your
canopies into Shadetree to get them shortened.
