ATTACH MAIN COVER
Gather the parts:
• Main cover (with conduits inserted)
• Ropes long enough to reach over the frame (provided
by customer)
• Ratchets and plain straps
• Tek screws
• Box cutter or utility knife
Assembly Procedure
1. To pull the cover over the frame, attach a rope to each
end 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. If needed, cut a small
opening in the cover pocket and tie the rope around
the conduit. DO NOT cut through the main cover.
Cut
through the conduit pocket only.
2. With all ropes attached to the cover conduit, lift the
conduit and carry the cover toward the base of the
frame.
3. Toss the ropes over the frame and pull the cover into
position. One person is required at each rope.
WARNING:
To prevent damage to the cover and
possible serious personal injury, DO NOT attempt to
install the main cover on windy days.

6. Using the main cover conduit as a guide, attach the
ratchets to the bottom conduit.
Fasten each ratchet to the inside of the bottom conduit
as shown above and on the Side Profile diagrams, or
to the inside or outside of the rafter leg near the bottom
conduit as shown below using a Tek screw.
4. Once the main cover is pulled into position, center the
cover on the frame and remove the ropes. Loosely
secure the ends of the cover to the ratchets attached to
the front and back end panel conduits.
ATTENTION:
Do not tighten the straps at this time.
5. Divide the remaining number of ratchets in half. Place
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 or
near the
same rafter assembly
. Rafters are identified
by the arrows below. Consult the Side Profile diagrams
in the Quick Start section for location details.
Frame and cover design shown above may differ from the actual
frame and cover. These are used for illustration only.
