ASSEMBLY
Remove the POP bank from its storage sack
and unfold until it begins to take a rectangular
shape. You should hear a POP! when the sides
are straightened.
1
Use the web loops to pull the POP bank
securely onto the fixture. The POP bank should
sit just over the lip of the fixture. Be sure not to
block any ventilation openings.
3
Use the attached web straps to tighten the
POP bank securely on the fixture. Run the
straps through the D-ring on the bottom of the
POPbank. Tighten then secure the straps with
hook-and-loop so they lay flat.
