PREPARE MAIN COVER (CONTINUED)
NOTE:
Depending on the length of the cover it may
be necessary to attach additional ropes to the cover
conduit between the end ropes by cutting a small
opening in the cover pocket and tying the rope around
the conduit. DO NOT cut through the main cover.
Cut
through the conduit pocket only.
2. With all ropes attached to the cover conduit, lift the
conduit and carry the cover toward the base of the
frame.
5. Divide the remaining number of ratchets in half. Place
the ratchets on the ground next to the rafter where they
will be attached.
NOTE:
Evenly space ratchets along each side of the
shelter and directly across from each other on the
same rafter assembly
. Ratchet locations are identified
by the arrows in the following diagram and on the
Side
Profile diagrams
in the Quick Start section.
Install ratchets as shown attached to the outside of the
rafter leg or on the inside of the rafter (not shown).

3. Toss the ropes over the frame and pull the cover into
position. One person is required at each rope.
4. Once the main cover is pulled into position, center the
cover on the frame and remove the ropes. Loosely
secure the ends of the cover to the ratchets attached to
the front and back end rafters.

of these rafters using a Tek screw for each ratchet.
