IMPORTANT - READ MANUAL FIRST
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE ASSEMBLY
EQUIPMENT AND TOOLS FOR INSTALLATION
Improper site preparation, Assembly and Maintenance may invalidate warranty and cause
unnecessary and costly mistake. If you have any questions contact your local dealer. For User
Friendly assembly we have identied each individual component with the part code as indicated in the
parts list. Please refer to the part code numbers and drawing to ensure problem free assembly.
It’s necessary to tighten the roof fabric enough to avoid “hammocks” on the roof and also re-tighten
once or twice again after a few months of use. This is important when assembly in cold weather
(autumn and winter) because the fabric is stiff then and when we got the sun and warm weather
afterwards it will make the fabric “slack” again and need to be re-tighten before next winter.
It’s the owners responsibility to take of snow immediately if not slide off by itself.
1. Keep work area clean. Cluttered areas invite injuries. Do not set up near snow drifts, in slippery
places, in high winds, or wet location.
2. Keep children away. All children should be kept away from the work area.
3. Don’t over reach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times.
4. Do not assemble in under the inuence of alcohol or drugs. Read warning labels on prescriptions
to determine if your judgment or reexes are impaired while taking drugs. If there is any doubt, do
not assemble.
5. Be aware of possible windy conditions; fasten the bases in concrete if these conditions are likely
to occur. Remove the cover during hurricane.
6. Be careful with power and heat sources. Do not keep heat sources near the tarpaulin. Do not
expose to open ame.
7. Be aware of personal safety during assembly and use. Be careful not to pinch ngers with clips
and tubes when assembling: when using makes sure there is adequate ventilation for exhaust and
other dangerous fumes.
