OPTIONS AND ACCESSORIES
CANOPIES
You will need a drill with 3/16" bit, screw driver, 3/8” wrench and
(8+) 1 1/2" #10bolts and locknuts. Attach the Canopy pedestal to
the fender platform with 1 ½” x ¼ “bolts and lock nuts. Position it
on its center 17 1/2" forward from the back of the vehicle. They
should be on top of the fender panel, to the outside of the fender
panel frame.
The footman-loops of the canopy top may be fastened as close as
possible to the outside corners of the fender platform or the cargo
box with #10 bolts. They are secured the same way, with bolts or
rivets.
Assemble the bows as you put them into the canopy. The shortest bow belongs in the center.
The front and back bows are the same length. Attach the front and back bows to the swivel
plate using 1 ¼” x ¼” bolts and lock nuts. Attach the center bow to the swivel plate and the
pedestal with the 2” x ¼” bolt in this order: bow, plate, 4 washers, pedestal, lock nut. This will
take two people or a support for the other side. The bows have spring in them to give a curve
to the top of the canopy. Tying a piece of twine around the uprights of the center bow will
keep them from springing out as you work on them
Attach the straps to the canopy as follows: the shortest strap goes around the front and back
bows and through the footman loops. The other two straps go through the front and back
footman loops on the bows then down to the footman loop on the platform. Snug these down
so that the canopy top is level. Adjust the straps to get the proper attitude and tautness.
Attach the canopy sides to the velcro around the top of the cargo box.
On four wheeled cycles, you may have a front strap which attaches to the front frame cross
member. It should not interfere with steering at any point.
The fabric can be cleaned without being removed from the frame. Brush off any loose dirt,
hose down and clean with a mild soap in lukewarm water (no more than 100 degrees.
CARGO HAMMOCK
Align the cargo hammock in the opening. Fasten the nylon straps snugly around the framework
between the wheels. There are 4 or 5 straps per side. Near the brake rotors and derailleurs,
be sure to tuck the ends of the straps into the loop made around the frame to keep strap ends
out of the rotors and gears.
Cargo Hammocks can be hand washed or wiped with a cloth to keep clean. Do not wash in a
washing machine or dry in a dryer.
