Thread the strap ends into the ratchets and slightly
11.
tighten.
Do not tighten completely at this time.
NOTE:
It may be necessary to remove excess strap if it
binds up in the ratchet.
Cover Conduits
Cover
Ends with
Strapping
Locate the cover ends with strapping and align cover
4.
with the front and back of the shelter.
Insert the cover conduits into the pockets of the cover.
5.
At the ends, locate the black straps. Using the straps
10.
as guides, fasten ratchets to the outside of the end
rafter legs using a Tek screw for each ratchet.
NOTE:
Allow a few inches to remain between the end
of the cover and the ratchet.
Divide the remaining number of ratchets in half. Place
12.
the ratchets on the ground next to the rafter where they
will be attached.
NOTE:
Ratchets are evenly spaced long each side of
the shelter and directly across from each other on the
same rafter assembly
. Rafters are identified by the
arrows below.
NOTE:
Shelter shown above may differ in length from
the actual model.
To pull the cover over the frame, attach ropes to both
6.
ends of the cover conduit. Wrap the rope around the
conduit a few times to prevent it from slipping off.
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 cover.
Cut
through the conduit pocket only.
With all ropes attached to the cover conduit, lift the
7.
conduit and carry the cover toward the base of the
frame.
Toss the ropes over the frame and pull the cover into
8.
position. One person is required at each rope.
Center the cover end-to-end and side-to-side.
