STEP 6

Position 2 persons at end of one of the rafters.
Pull fabric seam off to side of rafter and insert
hook on bottom of fabric in hole on bottom side
of the corresponding rafter (Figure 6). While one
person pulls fabric down, other person should line
up strap to fit between nubs on end of rafter.
Continue this process until fabric is secured all the
way around.

Note: Fabric top has been designed smaller
than frame to allow for the taut look of the
Palm. If strap does not reach nubs after pull-
ing, let go of fabric and let top relax for 10 sec-
onds. Then repeat until installed.

STEP 7

You are now ready to raise the rafters. Using
2 persons, ratchet lower hub up in unison.
Persons may be able to stand on the ground until
the hub is raised too high and then step ladders
will be required. (Figure 7)
When hub is ratcheted to its highest point,
retrieve Bolt and Nut and spacers (set aside at
step 4). Install them back into the center pole
as they were prior to lowering the bottom hub.

Caution: Bolt/nut & spacers must be installed to
prevent bottom hub with rafters from sliding down
center pole.

You may now remove the Come-A-Longs.

Your funbrella Palm is now ready for use.
