Complete these steps to install the 2" straps to secure cover:
1. With the cover centered, move to the awning side of the
building, locate the ratchets attached to the underside of
the post header, and cut a slit in (or notch from) the conduit
pocket in line with each ratchet.
Do not cut the main cover;
cut only the pocket material.
NOTE:
If it is windy, verify that the ropes used to pull the
cover onto the frame are secure to prevent cover damage
and possible injury.
2. Measure the length needed to reach from the ratchet to the
conduit and back to the ratchet, add a few inches extra, and
cut a 2" strap for the first ratchet.
3. Feed the strap around the conduit, insert both ends through
the slot in the ratchet, and slightly tighten the strap.
4. Using the first strap as a guide, cut additional straps to the
proper length for the awning side and install.
Do not cut the
straps too short.
5. Repeat the previous steps to install and slightly tighten the
remaining straps for
roll-up curtain of the building
. Do not
fully tighten the straps. Cover must be stretched end-to-end
before tightening the main straps.
6. Continue by stretching the main cover end-to-end.
The main cover straps wrap around the conduit in
the cover pocket. The ends of each strap are then
fed into a ratchet attached to the face board (roll-up
curtain side) and to the underside of the post header
(awning side).
Cover straps on the roll-up curtain side
of the shelter are also the anti-billow straps for the
roll-up curtain (or curtains)
.
Required parts and tools:
Bulk 2" strap. (Measure
and cut to length as needed.) Tool to cut cover and
strap.
