When preparing the container for the 
bag, turn the upper reserve corners 
inside out. 

• This allows the reserve bag and 

 

 

canopy  to  drop  straight  down  into  the 
container. 
•It also makes it easier to fill the bottom 
corners of the container. 
•Leave the upper corners turned inside 
out until it is time to close flaps #4 and 
#5.
