INSTALL THE MAIN COVER SIDE STRAPS
The side straps wrap around the conduit through slits
created in the side conduit pocket. The strap ends of
each strap are then fed into each side ratchet attached to
the rafter legs and slightly tightened to keep the cover in
position.
Required parts and tools:
• CC5391 - 2" strap (If strap shipped in bulk, measure
and cut the strap to length as needed.)
• Tool to cut slits in cover conduit pockets
Complete these steps to install the side straps:
1. Move to one side ratchet attached to a rafter and cut a
slit in the conduit pocket above the conduit and in line
with the ratchet.
Photo above shows using a utility knife to cut a slit
above the conduit, which has been inserted into the
main cover side pocket. Cover, rafter, and frame design
differ from actual shelter. Procedure is the same.
NOTE:
If ropes were used at these locations when
the main cover was pulled in place, a slit in the cover
pocket may already be present.
When creating the slit in the pocket for the strap,
do not
cut the main cover. Cut only the pocket material.
2. Select one of the tie down straps (CC5391) that
shipped with the building and insert one end of the
strap through the slit and around the cover conduit.
NOTE:
Do not
tighten completely at
this time.
Frame and ratchet
location differ from
actual frame. Steps
to install the main
cover are similar
however.
NOTE:
Depending on the where the ratchet is attached
to the rafter, cut the strap to the proper length. If bulk
strap is used, measure and cut to length as needed.
3. Feed both ends of the strap through the slot in the
ratchet and slightly tighten the strap.
4. Repeat the previous steps to install and slightly tighten
the remaining side straps.
5. After all side straps are in place and slightly tightened
and the cover is centered evenly on the frame, continue
by tightening the side ratchets.
NOTE:
Do not
tighten completely
at this time.
