INSTALL MAIN COVER (continued)
INSTALL OPTIONAL PANELS (if equipped)
Side panels are available for the shelter and provide
additional protection from the elements and other sources
that could damage the contents of the shelter.
To purchase the optional panels for your shelter, contact
Customer Service at 1.800.245.9881 for additional
information. If you do not have side panels to install,
continue by reading the Shelter Care and Maintenance
information near the front of this manual.
WARNING:
To prevent serious personal injury or
property damage, DO NOT install the cover on a windy
or stormy day. For longer shelters, additional help is
needed to lift and hold the panels in position.
OPTIONAL SIDE PANEL INSTALLATION
Optional side panels are attached to the frame using
snugger balls in the manner illustrated. Secure the panels
to the frame after installing the main cover. See cover photo
of this guide for an example showing an installed optional
side panel.
(Additional purchase required.)
1. Unpack panel and unfold completely.
2. Take one snugger ball tie, feed the stretch cord through
a grommet, and secure the panel to the rafter legs and
door header. Use one snugger ball for each grommet.
(Side panel purchase includes snugger balls.)
