TIGHTEN THE CABLING
The positions of the cable assemblies are identical for the
opposite side and the remaining end of the building that are
not shown in the previous diagram. For cable locations for
your building, consult the Quick Start section (back).
1. After attaching all cable assemblies to the building
frame, verify that each band clamp is tight and secured
to the rafter leg using a Tek screw.
2. Return to the first set of turnbuckles and tighten the
cables.
NOTE:
Tighten the cables in each section evenly so
that the frame remains plumb.
3. After one set of cables is tightened, move to another
set and repeat the steps to tighten those cables.
4. Repeat this process until all cables are tight.
5. Continue by installing the QH1061 end ratchets for the
bonnet portion of the main cover. These are the four (4)
remaining ratchets.
INSTALL THE RATCHETS FOR THE MAIN COVER
The ratchets are attached to the legs of end rafters on the
outside of the rafter leg.
Gather the parts: Four (4) small ratchets (#QH1061) and
Tek screws (#FA4482) to secure ratchets to the end rafters.
Complete the following steps to secure the ratchets to the
rafter legs.
1. Locate the four (4) small ratchets (#QH1061) and
attach these to the outside of the two end rafters as
shown. Attach the ratchets using Tek screws (FA4482).
NOTE:
If you cannot find the QH1061 end ratchets,
verify that these were not attached to an interior rafter
during the rafter assembly. Remove from the interior
rafters if needed and install on the end rafters.
2. After all end ratchets are installed, continue with the
final frame check and main cover installation steps.

FINAL FRAME CHECK
1. Return to the frame connections and verify that all bolts
are tight.
2. Verify that each purlin splice is secured with a Tek
screw.
3. Verify that each purlin is secured to the cross connector
and that each cross connector is secured to the rafter
pipe. See Page 11 if needed.
4. Inspect the frame for any sharp areas that could
damage the cover. If found, reposition components or
tape with layers of duct tape.
5. Verify that all bolts are positioned with the heads to the
outside of the frame. Tape the bolts, rafter joints, and
cable connections
before
installing the cover.
6. Continue by installing the main cover.
ANCHOR THE SHELTER
After installing all cable assemblies, anchor the frame.
Once the frame is anchored properly, continue with these
instructions.
WARNING
: Securing the rafter mounting feet to
baseboards set on the site is not a substitute for
properly anchoring the shelter. You must anchor the
shelter as described in the MUST READ document.
FAILING TO PROPERLY ANCHOR THE SHELTER
WILL RESULT IN DAMAGE TO THE SHELTER AND
MAY CAUSE PERSONAL INJURY.
READ THE MUST READ DOCUMENT TO PROPERLY
ANCHOR THE SHELTER.
