barrel only lightly finger tight—don’t snug down the barrels yet. 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

 
 

 

5) 

Perform a thorough line check at this point, making absolutely sure that the can-

opy is straight.  After the links are tightened with locking compound (

LOCtite, Per-

manex or Truelock

), it will be very difficult to correct any errors. 

 

6) 

When you are sure the canopy is straight, unscrew the barrel and put one drop of 

locking compound on the threads.  Immediately tighten finger tight, and torque to 30 
inch/lbs.    To  accurately  gauge  this,  place  a  5-lb.  (2.27-kg)  weight  on  a  wrench,  6 
inches  (15.2  cm)  from  the  link.    When  the  wrench  is  horizontal  and  the  barrel  no 
longer turns, the link is fully tightened.  Never tighten more than 30 inch/lbs.  Clean 
off any excess thread lock with a clean, dry rag.  Do not use water or solvents. 
 

7) 

Make a small match mark along the barrel and the link as shown.  This mark will 

serve as an easy method to check for tightness.  If the match mark remains intact, 
then the barrel is still in place.  If the upper and lower parts of the mark become mis-
aligned, then the barrel has shifted.  Should this happen, the link must be immedi-
ately disassembled, cleaned and inspected.  If no damage has occurred, the riser/
link/line assembly may be reattached according to steps 1 through 5. 

 

8) 

When the match mark is dry, slide slider stops over links until the lower edge of 

the rubber tubing touches the top of the riser as shown.  These stops are important 
in that they help keep the lines in the correct position on the link. 
 
Without these stops, the links could fail due to improper/uneven loading.  The stops 
must be tacked to the link with two turns of doubled seal thread.  If webbing stops 
are supplied, install them the same way. 
 

9) 

Periodic  Maintenance:  The  links  should  not  be  checked  for  tightness  with  a 

wrench.  Instead, use the match mark.  If the mark stays in alignment, then the links 
are properly tightened.  If not, follow the steps in #7.
