Operations in More Detail 21
Notice : Be sure to press the Velcro surfaces firmly together. When
completed, the hood fabric will be stretched fairly taut and
will require good bonding of the fabric to the frame.
4 Stretch the cinch belt at the bottom of the fabric over the lip
around the top of the molded plastic base of the A
CCU
B
ALANCE
.
Align the seams of the fabric panels with the pairs of screw heads
that hold the four pole mounts to the A
CCU
B
ALANCE
base. Align
so that the cinch belt latch is on the side of the base opposite the
electronics meter.
5 Pull the strap at the latch very tight to attach the fabric to the
base. Make sure that the strap stays tucked under the protruding
lip all around the top of the base. Pay particular attention to
where the strap passes the handles.
6 Now it is time to install the support poles. You will find four
white marks on the inside top edge of the fabric. These marks
identify the location of cups on the underside of the frame tubing
that will accept the ends of the support poles.
At this time it is helpful to be near a table or some other thigh-
high surface to help hold up the fabric while you install the first
support pole (refer to Figure 5 on page 12).
7 With the base of the A
CCU
B
ALANCE
on the floor, lift the fabric
frame up so that a white mark is directly in front of you. Support
the opposite side of the frame structure on a nearby table or other
level surface as shown in Figure 5.
Take one support pole and insert one end into its pole mount in
the A
CCU
B
ALANCE
base.
Bend the pole slightly to guide the other end into the
corresponding support pole cup located on the underside of the
frame near the white mark on the fabric.
