Rhino Shelter ROUND-14W X 36L X 15H - Manual (Page 8)

Assembly Instructions 14x36x15 Round RV/Boat
Unpack the Main Cover #RUC-7000 from the protective
plastic packaging. The line of grommets on the inside
(white) of the cover on the tie Down Flap must run
parallel to the sides of the frame assembly (lengthwise)
for positioning. Once cover is oriented properly to the
Frame Assembly, pull Main Cover over top of frame
assembly from the side, being careful not to snag the
cover on any member, bolt, or other obstruction. Center
the Main Cover over the Frame Assembly with the Main
Cover colored side showing from the outside of the unit.
Step 2. Loosen the 4 remaining turnbuckles completely.
Place the turnbuckles into hole in the foot of the end
arches on the outside of the end panel. Tie off the rope
coming out of the Main Cover rope slot on either side to
the turnbuckles. After tying off one end of the rope in the
Main Cover, pull the excess slack out of the rope and
cover. Hold the end of the rope and push directly down
with a foot onto the excess rope. Temporarily tie the
other end of the rope to the turnbuckle. Go over the
entire edge of the cover and adjust the excess folds of
material around the end so it is evenly distributed around
rope slot. Once the rope is pulled tight and the cover is
adjusted evenly over frame, tie off the rope end to the
turnbuckle. All slack should be out of the rope at this
time. Tighten the turnbuckle to further tighten the cover
if necessary. Ensure the cover is centered. (this step
may need to be repeated to ensure a centered fit)

Step 3. When the cover is completely aligned secure
each side of the cover to the bottom cross rail using the
ropes provided. Start at one end and tie off the rope to
the cross rail. Lace the rope through the grommets in
the cover and back under the tie-down cross rail.
Repeat this on the opposite side. Cover edge flap
should be on the outside of unit to repel rain or snow.
Pay close attention to how tight the cover is put onto the
frame. It should be tight enough so it does not flap
around in the wind, but not so tight that it tears the
material cover. The fabric backed PE fabric of Rhino
Shelter units does not stretch. If you pull it so tight that
the fabric is stretched, a small amount of additional
stress from wind or contact can cause premature tears
and failure. Only tighten cover enough to remove
valleys between arch assemblies. Do Not over tighten.
Step 4. Retighten or readjust the turnbuckles on both
the cover and end panels as needed. Retighten the
rope holding the main cover to the bottom cross rail.
Both the cover and the end panels should be
checked and tightened on a monthly basis.
A Roll Up Door Kit is supplied as standard for one end
door on the Utility Building. Refer to the instructions for
proper assembly. This assembly will make it easy to
open and close the tall door for entry and exit.
MAINTEANCE AND CARE
Annually or more often, the unit should be completely
inspected internally and externally to make certain the
unit remains properly installed and secured. Particular
attention should be paid to:
Hardware – check all carriage bolts and hardware
connectors to be certain they are in place and tightened.
Anchors – during normal weather trends, the unit will
strain against the anchors under windy conditions.
Anchor hardware connection to frame members should
be maintained tight and depth of anchors should be
checked to be certain they remain deeply and firmly set.
