Cable and Tarp Installation
STEP 1:
Open lid to lay flat on side of trailer. Locate two 30'
cables with turnbuckles. Fully extend turnbuckles. Hook each
turnbuckle into center lid extension.
STEP 6:
Carefully actuate lid to vertical position, ensuring mesh
does not snag or catch anything. In vertical position, tarp should
hang from cable down to lid’s ladders. Attach tarp to ladder us
-
ing provided zip ties, every 12-18" (30.5-45.7cm).
STEP 8:
For trailers shorter than tarp length, cut tarp at back of
trailer with approximately 6-8" (15.2-20.3cm) of extra material to
be folded over and zip tied along rear lid.
STEP 7:
Attach tarp along front lid with provided zip ties. Use
holes and D-ring on front lid.
STEP 3:
Tighten both turnbuckles evenly until cable are taught.
Do not over tighten turnbuckles as this may cause excess stress
on lids and hinges. Apply small amount of liquid thread locker to
turnbuckle jam nuts and tighten to prevent loosening.
STEP 4:
Lay out mesh tarp in a clear open area to verify dimen
-
sions and tarp condition.
STEP 5:
With lid still in fully open position, start attaching tarp
to cable only. Start at front lid using zip ties every 12-18" (30.5-
45.7cm).
STEP 2:
One cable will attach to front lid, second cable will at
-
tach to rear lid. These are attached using 3/16" timble and two
3/16" cable nuts.
NOTE:
If there is a large gap between rear lid and trailer
rear door, do not cut any of excess tarp materials. Roll up
the excess and zip tie to rear lid to help cover gap.
NOTE:
2" wide splicing tape can be used to protect tarp by
wrapping a small length around any sharp points on system
of truck.
