TIGHTEN THE CABLING
Once all cables are attached and the frame is anchored,
tighten all cable assemblies.
1. Return to the first set of cables and turnbuckles and
align the band clamps with the cable if needed.
2. With the band clamps in the desired position, install a
Tek screw through each band clamp and into the rafter.
3. Tighten the band clamps and then tighten cables.
NOTE:
Tighten the cables in each section evenly so
that the frame remains plumb.
Do not overtighten.
4. After one set of cables is tightened, move to another
set and repeat the tightening steps.
5. Repeat this process until all cables are tight.
6. Continue with the installation of the main cover.
ANCHOR THE SHELTER
At this point, anchor the frame. Once the frame is anchored
properly, continue with these instructions.
WARNING
: Securing the rafter footings to wood boards
set on the site is not a substitute for properly anchoring
the shelter. You must anchor the shelter as described in
the MUST READ document.
FAILING TO PROPERLY ANCHOR THE SHELTER
WILL RESULT IN DAMAGE TO THE SHELTER AND
MAY CAUSE PERSONAL INJURY.
READ THE MUST READ DOCUMENT TO PROPERLY
ANCHOR THE SHELTER.
PREPARE MAIN COVER
Gather the parts:
• Pipe 1.315" x 75" swaged (3)
• Pipe 1.315" x 73.5" plain (1)
• Main cover
• Tek screws
Assembly Procedure
NOTE:
When handling the main cover and setting it in
position, do not pull on the end straps. They will pull out of
the cover.
WARNING:
To prevent damage to the cover and to
prevent serious personal injury, DO NOT attempt to
install the main cover on windy days.
1. Assemble two main cover conduits. Start each conduit
assembly with one (1) plain pipe and add three (3)
swaged pipes to arrive at the correct length.
a. Locate all sections of pipe needed to assemble
the cover conduit.
b. Insert the swaged end of each pipe into the
plain end of another pipe until the conduit is
assembled.
c. Secure each pipe joint with a Tek screw.
NOTE:
Tape Tek screws with duct tape to prevent
damage to main cover.
The cover conduits are inserted into the pockets sealed
into the main cover and are used to tighten and secure
the main cover to the assembled frame.
