Film Cover Installation with Roll-Up Sides
INSTALL ROLL-UP PANELS
This model includes a roll-up side panel for each side of
the shelter. The panel film material is typically shipped
as a single roll. Complete the following steps:
Locate the roll of film for the roll-up sides, roll it out,
1.
and fold it in half (lengthwise). Cut the film in half.
ATTENTION:
Measure the film
before cutting
to
verify that the correct amount has been shipped. Do
not cut the film too short or long. Film usually ships
2' longer per side (e.g., 36' building: roll-up panel is
38' long).
Stretch the roll-up panel along the side of the shelter
2.
and center it from end-to-end.
Using the lower channel of the double U-channel
3.
and the wire spring (102198), secure the top edge of
the film to the U-channel.
With the top edge secured, spread the free/loose
4.
edge of the panel out so that it hangs down evenly
from the secured upper edge.
NOTE:
Excess panel will be rolled onto the roll-up
conduit during the next procedure.
Continue with the following roll-up procedures to
5.
finish the installation.

INSTALL MAIN COVER (continued)
Once the first cover is stretched and secure, install the
inflation fan kit in the desired location and
according
to the instructions sent with the kit.
ATTENTION:
Install the inflation fan kit
before
installing the second main cover. Consult the
instructions included with the fan kit to install the fan.
FOR ADDITIONAL DETAILS, CONSULT THE
INFLATION FAN INSTALLATION PHOTOS FOR A
SIMILAR BUILDING IN THE QUICK START GUIDE
AT THE BACK OF THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
After installing the inflation fan kit, repeat the steps to
11.
install the film for the second main cover.
NOTE:
When installing the second cover film, use the
same end cap channel and U-channel used for the
first cover film, and a second run of the correct spring
(Steps 5 & 8), which is installed on top of the first
spring already in the channels.
With the second cover film layer installed, test the
12.
operation of the inflation fan kit.
IMPORTANT:
If trimming the excess cover material at
the ends and sides, DO NOT remove too much of the
excess material. Some excess main cover material
(the material that extends beyond the end rafters)
should remain in place to more easily re-stretch the
film if needed.
FRAME CHECK
Before you attach the roll-up curtain, inspect the frame for
sharp edges or fasteners that could damage the curtain or
kit components.
Verify that all frame members are properly secured
1.
and that all bolts and clamps are tight.
Recheck the frame assembly for sharp edges
2.
or clamps and bolts that may interfere with the
installation of the curtain. File or tape sharp edges as
needed.
Reposition clamps and bolts as needed and tape all
3.
rafter pipe joints with duct tape to protect the curtain.
Verify that the main building frame is properly and
4.
adequately anchored.
