INSTALL MAIN COVER
Gather the parts:
• 1.315" x 75" swaged pipe (131S075)
• 1.315" x XX" plain pipe (131P0XX)
• Main cover
• Tek screws
The cover conduit assemblies consists of 1.315'' x 75''
(#131S075) swaged pipes (number is determined by
shelter length) and one (1) 1.315'' x XX'' (#131P0XX) plain
pipe.
The XX'' represents the remaining length needed to reach
the end of the frame. Consult the Spec Sheet for part
identification and the Side Profile diagrams in the Quick
Start section for your building.
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 plain pipe and add swaged pipes to
arrive at the correct length.
INSTALL SIDE RATCHETS (continued)
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.
3. Repeat previous step to attach the remaining ratchets
to the outside of the base frame tube.
NOTE:
Ratchets are evenly spaced long each side of
the shelter and directly across from each other on the
same rafter assembly
. Rafters are identified by the
arrows below.
4. After attaching the ratchets to
both sides of the base
frame
, move to the end rafters, measure six (6) inches
from the inside of the rafter leg, and attach a ratchet to
the
end panel conduit
as shown in the next diagram.
NOTE:
Diagram above is an example of the 20' shelter.

NOTE:
The mounting screws for the ratchets attached
to the end panel conduits are installed through the end
panels and into the conduit. The ratchets are installed
on the outside of the end panel.
5. Repeat the previous step for all remaining ratchets to
attach them to the end panel conduits as previously
described and shown.
6. After attaching all ratchets, complete the next
procedure to install the main cover.
NOTE:
Use duct tape to tape the Tek screws to
prevent damage to main cover.
