Curtis cabs, kits, and accessories feature an assembly of parts designed for your vehicle which require
adjustment and alignment of components to accommodate vehicle variations and provide proper weather
protection. For accurate installation, proper operation, and years of satisfaction, please read and understand the
installation and owner’s manual fully prior to installing the rear panel.
From all of us at Curtis, we thank you for choosing our product.
HELPFUL HINTS:
•Refer to parts diagram found in the service parts section of this manual to help identify parts
during the assembly process.
•To assist with the rear panel installation, leave all fasteners loose for later adjustment unless
otherwise specified.
•Read and understand all instructions before beginning.
•Apply a silicone sealant to seal any minor gaps that may occur due to vehicle variations.
•Before installing parts with factory installed rubber, make sure the rubber is fully installed onto the
parts for proper fit and sealing.

If installing multiple Curtis Polaris Ranger 1000 kits,
install in the following order.
1.Doors
2.Windshield
3.Rear Panel
4.Roof
1.1 Per figure 1.1, install both lower mounting bracket
assemblies to the inside surface of the rear panel
using hardware listed below. Make sure that the
rubber washer is against the outside surface of the
rear panel.
Hardware Used Qty
5/16-18 X 1 Hex Head Flange Screw 4
5/16-18 Hex Flange Nut 4

Tools required
1/2” socket and wrench
1.2 Per figures 1.2a and 1.2b, install rear panel with
brackets onto the vehicle’s frame behind the seat
back. Then flex the rear panel and hook it around
the rear panel header. If the rear panel is loose in
the vertical position, adjust the lower mounting
brackets to take up the vertical play.
Tools required
1/2” socket and wrench
1.3 Per figure 1.3, install 2 clamp bracket assemblies to
the inside of the rear panel making sure that the
bracket is touching the inside surface of the ROPS.

Tools required
1/2” socket and wrench
1.4 Per figure 1.4, if the Curtis Roof is being installed
on this vehicle, a piece of 3/4" side bulb rubber with
2 wipers will need to be installed on the rear flange
of the roof (rubber should be facing forward). If not,

Torque Specs. for Structural Bolts
This page is for use primarily when dealing with high-strength vehicle fasteners such as ROPS hardware that hold the
structure together for safety. This page can also be used for other solid metal-to-metal joints. Do not use these high torque
values on any of the following applications involving: tubing, plastic, nylon or rubber washers, threaded inserts, etc.. See next
page regarding less critical fasteners.
The values below apply to fasteners that are dry or lubricated with normal engine oil. They do not apply if special graphited or
moly disulphide greases or other extreme pressure lubricants are used. This applies to both UNF and UNC threads.
Remember to always use the same grade or property class when replacing bolts.
IMPORTANT: on all PLATED GRADE 8 bolts, reduce torque 15% from listed bolt torque specification.

Tightening of Non-Structural Bolts
For light or medium duty fastening, Curtis recommends using a general industry standard of tightening until snug and then
giving an additional one quarter turn of the tool as deemed reasonable for the application (i.e.: at the installer’s discretion).
If torque values are required, the examples listed below are intended as a reasonable reference for use in the majority of
non-structural fastener applications such as: small diameter fasteners; bolts passing thru tubing, glass, plastic, nylon or
rubber washers, threaded inserts, etc.
If more than one application below applies, use the lower torque value.
