Step 20
For 20’ frame, attach the ropes from the installation kit (sold
separately) to the eyebolts by slipping one end of the rope
through the eyebolt and then slip the other end through
that loop so that the rope is extended its full length. At-
tach the loose end of the come-a-long to the end loop and
expand the come-a-long all the way out so it is close to the
wire rope connection corner as shown in Figure 14.
Connect the ratchet-end snap on the come-a-long to the
wire rope coming from around the other side of the top.
(Figure 14). Do this for both sides.
For 15’ frame, slip one end of the rope through the eye-
bolt and attach both end loops of the rope (so that rope is
doubled) to the come-a-long as explained above.
For 10’ frame, attach the come-a-long directly to the eyebolt
as explained above.
Step 21
Slowly advance come-a-longs, with a just a few cranks on
one and then the other so that both come-a-longs have the
same amount of tension at the same time. When you are
satisfi ed with the tension on the cables, you must fasten
them using the cable clamps attached to the top fabric in-
side a plastic bag or in the installation kit (sold separately).
Using a pair of vice grips, if available, clamp or hold the
two cables together on one side (Examine
each side to see which side is most acces-
sible). (Figure 15) Fasten one of the cable
clamps onto the cables and tighten. Fas-
ten a second cable clamp right beside the
fi rst one and tighten. (Figure 16)
Step 22
Now loosen the tension on each of the
come-a-longs until you can easily remove
them. Go to the other side of the wire
rope attachment corner and attach the remaining (2) cable
clamps to the wire ropes.
Now carefully remove the come-a-longs, ropes, and eye-
bolts.
To fi nish the corner, unsnap the tabs and wrap the loose
ends of the wire ropes up into the tabs and also the web
handles so they may be hidden away under the corner fl ap.
Snap them into the keeper tabs and pull the fl ap down onto
the corner pin to fi nish. (Figure 17)
Removal of top:
You must attach the come-a-longs and ropes onto the
looped ends of the wire ropes and
tension them as shown in Figure
14 before removing the cable
clamps or injury could occur.
Then work backwards with the
steps above.
