WARNING:
Do not install panels without first anchoring
the assembled frame.
INSTALL OPTIONAL PANELS (if equipped)
Side panels are available for the shelter and provide
additional protection from the elements and other sources
that could damage the contents of the shelter. If your
shelter includes the optional side panels, install these
before
the main cover is installed.
To purchase the optional side panels for your shelter,
contact Customer Service at 1.800.245.9881 for additional
information. If you do not have side panels to install,
continue with the Ratchet and Main Cover Installation
procedures (if equipped).
WARNING:
To prevent serious personal injury or
property damage, DO NOT install the cover on a windy
or stormy day. For longer shelters, additional help is
needed to lift and hold the panels in position.
ALTERNATIVE SIDE PANEL INSTALLATION
The optional
main cover
(when it is installed) requires the
installation of ratchets to the outside of specific rafters. In
the main cover installation procedure that follows these
side panel steps, the ratchets are installed after the side
panels are attached.
As a result, ratchets are attached
with Tek screws driven through the side panel and into the
rafter
.
If desired, you can install the side panels on the
inside of
the frame
. This will allow removal of the side panels without
removing the ratchets that secure the main cover. Consult
the diagram below.
OPTIONAL INSTALLATION - END and/or SIDE PANELS
If the shelter includes the optional side panels and/or
gable end panels, these panels MUST be attached to the
frame
before
the cover is installed. If the shelter does not
include the optional panels, continue with the main cover
installation (if equipped).
NOTE:
Optional gable ends and side panels are attached
to the frame with the ball tie downs in the manner
illustrated. Secure the panels to the frame before installing
the main cover.
1. Unpack panels and unfold completely.
2. Take the snugger ball tie downs, feed the stretch cord
through a grommet, and attach the main cover to
the assembled frame. Use one snugger ball for each
grommet.
3. Install all side panels and/or gable end panels and
continue with the main cover (if equipped).

NOTE:
A space will remain between the cover edge
and the frame as shown in the diagrams.
If the installed side panel
slides up or down, install a
screw into the rafter below the
upper snugger balls (shown to
the left) to prevent the panel
from sliding down, and above
the lower snugger balls (not
shown) to prevent the panel
from sliding up the rafter leg or
legs.
