The 100% solution dyed acrylic canopy will last longer if you fold it as it was packed
and shipped. This technique is similar to the way a parachute is folded and is
especially important when folding the Orion canopy for seasonal storage or when the
Orion is to be left in the closed position for an extended period of time.
Using this technique at all times will significantly extend the life of the canopy.
1. When the canopy has been fully lowered, stand in front of the canopy structure
and begin the folding process by pulling out two panels opposite the mast.
Pull the two panels together and roll tight into the canopy.
2. Once rolled tight, pull adjacent panels out one at a time and fold to the center,
alternating sides until all the panels have been pulled out from the arms and folded
into the center.
3. Strap the canopy to the mast with the strap.

1. Hose mast and frame with water periodically, more often if installation is in a salty
or industrial environment.
2. Inspect the installation fitting on a regular basis and tighten if necessary.
3. Lubricate the track and slider car mechanism as needed to enhance the ease of
operation.

1. Clean up spills and stains right away. Spills can be removed by using a clean,
absorbent cloth.
2. For general maintenance, use a soft brush to remove dust and dry soil or wash
down with clean, warm water (i.e. garden hose) every so often so dirt does not
become engrained. Allow the fabric to dry naturally before closing the canopy.
3. If a thorough cleaning is necessary, sponge over the fabric using a mild soap
solution (2% solution). Rinse well with plenty of water to remove all soap residue.
4. Never use detergents, cleaning fluids, or solvents. Grease and oil stains may be
removed by using turpentine or similar with an absorbent cloth.
5. We recommend giving the canopy a good clean on a more frequent basis if
installed in a location where the canopy is likely to become soiled.

Follow these instructions should you choose to replace your canopy with a new canopy.
1. Lower the canopy to the closed position.
2. Remove canopy structure from the boom. Disconnect sister clips.
3. Unsnap the canopy vent cap.
4. Drill out the canopy strap rivets or take out the canopy screws from webbing at top
of arms. (Depending on your model, your Orion will have rivets or screws, not both.)
5. Remove the button/screw at the end of each arm.
6. Remove canopy from structure.
6. To replace the canopy, reverse the above process.
