13. On the side of the shelter where the D-ring straps are
located, lift the main cover skirt (if present) and cut a
slit through the main cover pocket in line with the rafter
or rafters.
14. Thread the D-ring strap through the slit in the cover
pocket, wrap it around the cover conduit, and attach
the strap assembly to the rafter.
NOTE:
Verify that the cover is centered side-to-side
before attaching the D-ring straps. If optional side
panels were attached, install the Tek screw through the
panel.
15. Repeat the steps for the remaining D-ring straps.
NOTE:
D-ring straps are attached to one side of the
shelter. Ratchets are attached directly across from the
D-ring straps on the
same rafter assembly
.
16. Move to the other side of the shelter and attach the
ratchets to the rafters. Use the cover conduit and strap
as guides to attach the ratchets to the rafters at the
proper height. Fasten ratchets to the outside of these
rafters using Tek screws.
17. As previously described, make a slit in the cover
conduit pocket and insert a 3' section of plain strap
through the slit and around the cover conduit.
INSTALL COVER (CONTINUED)
18. Thread the strap ends into a ratchet and slightly
tighten.
NOTE:
It may be necessary to remove excess strap if it
binds up in the ratchet.
19. Repeat the steps for the remaining ratchet or ratchets.
20. Using additional help (if needed) tighten the main cover
beginning with the ratchet or ratchets along the side of
the shelter frame.
21. After the side ratchets are tightened, return to the end
ratchets and tighten.
NOTE:
Loosen the ratchets if needed to remove
excess strap and tighten. If the main cover is not
centered as desired, the D-rings straps can be
repositioned (higher or lower) as needed and the main
cover retightened.
22. Fold the skirt of main cover down and over the ratchets
and D-ring straps to complete the installation of the
main cover.
NOTE:
Depending on the shelter, some main covers
may not include a cover skirt.
