Changing Hoods
The A
CCU
B
ALANCE
is shipped with a 2 ft x 2 ft hood attached to the
base. Four other hood sizes are available from TSI and can be
purchased separately or as part of standard packages. Available hood
sizes are identified by the dimensions of the frame structure at the top
of the hood and include 2 ft x 4 ft, 1 ft x 4 ft, 1 ft x 5 ft and 3 ft x 3 ft .
To change hood sizes, first remove the hood currently attached to the
base. To remove the attached hood, first unlatch the cinch belt where
the fabric is attached to the base. Then remove the fabric from its
frame structure by peeling back the Velcro
®
from the aluminum frame
tubing. Notice that the fabric stretches around the outside, then up
and over the frame structure. The Velcro on the fabric reaches down
to mate with the Velcro on the frame structure. Notice also that all
Velcro surfaces on the frame tubing face inward. Finally, fold up the
fabric you just removed so that it can fit into one of the accessory
pockets inside the A
CCU
B
ALANCE
carrying case. It is a good idea to
fold the fabric so that the tag identifying its size remains visible for
future reference.
