WARNING: Always disconnect hydraulic and electric power to the trailer and follow lock out/tag
out safety procedures before entering the trailer or working on the CleenSweep®Tarp System
components. Failure to do so may result in serious injury or death.
3.2 Winch & Strap Roller Installation
Winch mounted on front wall below front slope shield and strap roller mounted near top of front wall.
3.2.1 Winch Installation Below Slope Shield
NOTE: Front wall of trailer may need to be reinforced to withstand the forces created by the winch.
1. Locate and mark a centerline up the front wall of the trailer. NOTE: It is crucial that strap roller
and the roll of strap on the winch is mounted in the absolute center of the trailer. If the winch is
not mounted square, it will put uneven pressure on the tarp strap and the system will not function
properly.

7 DOC06950 Rev. A
INSTALLATION / OPERATION & PARTS CATALOG CleenSweep®- Manual (CSM)
2. The winch must not interfere with the operation of the oor slats, and there should be a 1” [25mm]
minimum clearance between the winch and slats. Ensure all moving parts of the winch and oor have
adequate clearance. Measure 4” [102 mm] up from the top of the oor slats to locate the bottom of the
mounting plate.
A. WELD ATTACHMENT: Remove the
winch mounting plate from the winch
assembly, center on the front wall and
weld. Then re-attach winch assembly to
mounting plate using the (4) M10 bolts.
B. BOLT ATTACHMENT: Transfer the winch
mounting plate mounting bolt hole pattern
to the wall and drill (2) 17/32” [13 mm] bolt
clearance holes. Then attach the entire
winch assembly to the trailer wall using
(2) 1/2” grade 8+ [M12 class 10.9+]
locking fasteners (not included).
3. Front shield modication: It is recommended that the front shield be hinged or tted with a door/panel to
gain access to the winch after it is installed to facilitate adjustment, inspection and maintenance.
4. An opening must be cut into the front Slope Shield and a UHMW strap guide installed for the strap to
pass through. The opening must be centered along the path of the strap from the winch to the strap roller
assembly.

INSTALLATION / OPERATION & PARTS CATALOG CleenSweep®- Manual (CSM)
3.2.2 Strap Roller Assembly Installation Near Top of Front Wall
NOTE: Front wall of the
trailer may need to be
reinforced to withstand
the forces created by the
winch.
1. Locate the centerline at the top of the front wall of the trailer.
2. Measure down a minimum of 1-1/2” [38 mm] from the top to locate the strap roller mounting
bracket.
3. Center the strap roller bracket with the two mounting holes toward the top of the wall and weld
in place or transfer the strap roller bracket bolt pattern to the wall and drill (3) 7/16” [11 mm] bolt
clearance holes.
4. Attach the strap roller to the front wall using (3) 3/8” grade 5+ [M10 class 8.8+] locking fasteners.

9 DOC06950 Rev. A
INSTALLATION / OPERATION & PARTS CATALOG CleenSweep®- Manual (CSM)
3.2.3 Strap Roller Assembly Installation Under Front Tarp Header
If the trailer has any obstacles on the front wall, such as broom/shovel hooks, or man door handles/hinges,
then tarp guide rails/skis will need to be fabricated and installed. Guide rails/skis guide the tarp away from
the front wall to avoid contact with these obstacles, thus preventing possible tarp damage. Also, the strap
roller will need to be attached under a Front Tarp Header and in line with the guide rails/skis to allow the
tarp to hang straight down and against the ski/guide rails.
NOTE: Front wall of the trailer
and cap plate may need to
be reinforced to withstand the
forces created by the winch.
1. Locate and mark the centerline of the cap plate.
2. Locate the strap roller bracket far enough out from the front wall so that the tarp will hang straight
down along the outside of the tarp guide rails when it is fully retracted. (See image)
3. Center the strap roller bracket with the two mounting holes toward the rear of the trailer and weld
in place or transfer the strap roller bracket bolt pattern to the wall and drill (3) 7/16” [11 mm] bolt
clearance holes.
4. Attach the strap roller to the cap plate using (3) 3/8” grade 5+ [M10 class 8.8+] locking fasteners.

3.3 Tarp Assembly, Installation & Adjustment
Please note that pipes, strips and fasteners are not supplied by KEITH Manufacturing Co. For the
top pocket, located at the top of the tarp when fully retracted and hanging, (1) 2” [50 mm] diameter
lightweight metal conduit pipe is recommended. For all other pockets, use 1-1/2” [40 mm] diameter
lightweight metal conduit pipes or 1/4” x 3” [6 mm x 76 mm] UHMW plastic strips.
1. Cut the pipes/strips approximately 2” [50 mm] shorter than the inside width of the trailer. Take this
measurement just above the trailer oor, at the trailer’s narrowest point.
2. If the tarp is wider than the width of the trailer, cut the tarp to the same width as the inside of the
trailer. Remove half of the material from each side of the tarp.
Note: If you are installing the tarp into a trailer with a V-Floor®system or into a bullnose trailer, the tarp
will need to be wider than the inside of the trailer because the tarp will conform to the ridges on the
oor or the nose of the trailer. See Tarp Modications for V-Floor Trailers for additional instructions.
If using Pipe in lower pockets:
C. With the tarp laying down on the oor of the trailer, center the 2” [50 mm] pipe in the top pocket
of the tarp which has the notch cut out in the center. On the top side of the pipe drill (4) holes
through the tarp and pipe and install rivets (not supplied) to hold the pipe in place.
D. Center the smaller diameter pipes in the lower pockets of the tarp. On the top side of the pipes
drill (4) holes through the tarp and pipes and install rivets (not included) to hold the pipes in
place.

A. With the tarp laying down on the oor of the trailer, center the 2” [50 mm] pipe in the top pocket of the
tarp which has the notch cut out in the center. On the top side of the pipe drill (4) holes through the
tarp and pipe and install rivets (not supplied) to hold the pipe in place.
B. Center the UHMW strips in the lower pockets of the tarp. Drill (4) holes completely through the tarp
and UHMW strips. Use bolts with washers and nylock nuts (not supplied) or use rivets with washers
(not supplied) to keep the UHMW strips in place. Bolts or Rivets should be installed from the bottom
so nothing sharp scrapes or catches on the oor.
3. Find the center of the top pipe when the tarp is in the hanging position. Drill (2) 3/8” [9.5 mm] holes,
evenly spaced, through the top pipe to attach the U-bolt. It must be centered and installed so that when
the tarp is hanging from the winch, the threads of the U-bolt are facing downward. If necessary, you can
make the notch in the tarp wider in the middle to accommodate the U-bolt.
4. Lay the tarp in the rear of the trailer, with the handles on top of the tarp and the 2” [50 mm] top pipe
resting inside of the trailer about 12”-24” [305-610 mm] (depending on type of material being unloaded)
making sure it is not past the ends of the slats when they are retracted to the front. This will be where
the tarp stops during unloading with the rest of the tarp hanging o󰀨 the back of the trailer.
5. Release the winch strap brake and thread the strap through the strap guide on the winch, through the
UHMW strap guide in the front shield and through the strap roller. Pull (unwind) all of the loose strap
completely o󰀨 of the winch, so the attachment screws are visible, and stretch it out past the end of the
trailer, making sure that the strap is not twisted.
6. Cut the strap o󰀨, leaving enough strap to wrap loosely around the top pipe 3 times, pull tight and tighten
the U-bolt to hold the strap securely in place. This will keep the top pipe of the tarp from falling out of
the trailer when the strap is fully extended.

7. Retract the tarp assembly completely so that the U-bolt is back to the strap roller. Cut the tarp to length
leaving a minimum of 12”-14” [305-356 mm] of tarp on the oor covering the slats. Too much tarp on
the oor and the tarp will get caught in the unloaded material and be di󰀩cult to remove. Too little tarp
on the oor and it won’t move along with the load and sweep cleanly. Additional tarp on the oor (36”-
48” [914-1219 mm]) may be needed if the material being unloaded is very light weight (low density).
