  Section E - Install End Panels

DO NOT  INSTALL END PANELS ON A WINDY DAY AS DAMAGE TO THEM MAY RESULT!

Step 1:

 Locate the end panels, and end conduit sections, and end conduit connectors.

Step 2:

 Assemble a set of end conduit sections and add end conduit connectors at the ends. The 

length should match the width of your shelter.

If the corners of your end panel have not been cut out, follow the procedure below to do so:

Step 3:

 Lay an end panel out on a clean flat surface.

Step 4: 

Place the end conduit assembly centered side-to-side on top of the hem as shown below.

Step 5:

 With scissors, trim the corner of the end panel on the dotted line shown below so the end 

conduit connector will be exposed when it is placed inside the hem. Repeat at the other end of 
this end panel and on both ends of the other end panel.

  

   

Step 6:

 Remove one end conduit connector and slide the end conduit assembly into the hem at the 

bottom of the plain end panel. Replace the connector you removed.

Step 7:

 Place the end conduit in position and insert the bottom of the end rafter into the connector. 

Tighten the allen screws to secure the connectors to the conduit.

Note: Cover is not shown in the photo so you can see the connector assembly.
