SET-UP INSTRUCTIONS (Continued)
Roll Tarps for Grain Carts
Locate the pre-punched holes in the End Panels
and drill 3/8” holes through the grain tank
extensions. Attach one 3/8” J-Bolt to the inside of
the End Panel using one 3/8” hex lock nuts.
Lay the cables over the Tarp Bows. Thread the
cable end through the small hole on the edge of
the End Panel and attach the cable to the J-Bolt
using one 3/16” cable clamp. Adjust the tension
on the cable so the tarp will not sag.

Mounting the Center Cable Supports
Mounting the Tarp
Lay the tarp out flat (dull side up). Insert the 1”
Square Tie-Down Tube into the 3” end loop of the
tarp until the Tie-Down Tube is extended two inches
beyond the edge of the tarp.
Insert the 1 1/4” Square Roll Tube into the 3 1/2”
end loop of the tarp. The Roll Tube should be
extended 1/2” from the edge of the front of the tarp
and extend 8” past the rear of the tarp.
Place the tarp with the tubes onto the grain cart
and align. The 1” Square Tie-Down Tube should
be located on the high side of the grain cart tapered
top extensions and the 1 1/4” Square Roll Tube
should be located on the low side of the grain cart
tapered top extensions.
Two Tarp Stop Brackets should be placed
approximately 24” in from the end of the tarp. Drill
a 3/8” hole through the tarp, 1” Square Tie-Down
Tube and the grain cart high tapered top extension.
Bolt the Tarp Stop Bracket, 1” Square Tie-Down
Tube and Roll Tarp to the high side extension using
one 3/8” x 2” hex bolts, one 3/8” flat washers and
one 3/8” lock nut. Center a third Tarp Stop Bracket
between the two end tarp stops and secure in the
same procedure.
