Step 18 - Preparing the top lock brackets

A

Before installing the top lock brackets, use the adjust-

ing screw to adjust the tension.  The recommended

tension setting procedure is to turn the adjustment 

screw  clockwise until it stops, and then back the 

adjustment screw out six full revolutions.  Use the

notch in the screw to count each revolution.  Repeat

this procedure for each top lock bracket.

WARNING:   The locking system is designed to release

the canopies in high winds to protect the canopies.  The 

adjusting screws can be used to adjust the tension.  Do 

not overtighten, as this could increase the chance for 

canopy damage in high winds.

completely pushed down on the track before tighten-

ing.
