1. Before mounting side frames, install canopy mounting
brackets (A) to top of side frames (B).
• Position bracket so notches at top of bracket are
ush with the top of the wood, side pad backer (C).
• Secure in place with 6 hex head wood screws (J)
provided.
NOTE:Brackets (A) are not part of the overall unit
width. Unit width when mounting side frames should
be measured from outside edge of side frames.
Brackets add ≈ 1/4in [6mm] to unit's overall footprint.
Allowance is accounted for in the header installation.
2. Measure and mark:
• Measure dock door opening width (D). Divide in
half and mark the centerline of the opening at
dock level (E).
• Measure unit width and divide in half. Compare to
PAF (Product Application Form) specs.
• Measure from door centerline (E) to half of the head
frame dimension (F) and mark the outside wall (at
the bottom of the door opening or at dock level).
This mark is for the outside edge of the side frame.
• Measure (at dock level) from this mark (outside
edge of the side frame) across the door opening to
the unit width (G). Mark this measurement for the
outside edge of the second side frame.
• Consult PAF or sales representative for mounting
height to the bottom of the side pads (H). Measure
up from grade on the dock face and mark.
NOTE:Typically, the bottom of the side pad is
mounted at dock height. Some applications may
require mounting them at a di󰀨erent location.
Example: When dock bumpers are mounted
above dock height or above the pit oor (on vertical
leveler applications) it may be required to mount
the bottom of the side pads/side frames at a height
even with the top of the bumpers.
3. Dry fit and shim:
• Using carpenter’s level, plumb up the wall the height
of the side frame and mark the outside edges of the
side frames on the wall at top.
• Measure full width, etc. Using a plumb bob or
carpenter’s level make sure that the outside wall
is plumb from the highest point on the side frame
location to dock level.
• Shim side frames as required.

4. Install brackets:
NOTE:
– Side frames are supplied with brackets that
match the application (Figure 4).
– If blockouts were supplied with the unit,
reference the blockout installation manual
(Document 1321‑0008) and this manual to
ensure proper installation of the blockouts and
the side frames.
• Position the side frames on their marks.
• Mark the side frame for bracket installation (3 on
each side of each side pad) (Figure 5).
Example: Line up the mounting hole on the
bracket with a mortar joint on the wall and attach
the mounting bracket to the side frame backer
board.
• Attach the brackets to the side frame backer. Use
(supplied) 1/4in x 1 1/4in wood screws for wood
backers.
NOTICE
4in [102mm] width side frames require protective
bumpers to be installed below the side pads.
Reference "Bumpers" on page 17.
If the 4in [102mm] side frame (including blockout) has
an overall projection greater than 40in [1016mm], the
bottom, front of the blockout must be secured to either
the bumpers, the building foundation, or any other
solid rigid structure underneath the blockout. This is
required to stabilize the side frames.
5. Attach the side frames to the building wall, ensuring
they are aligned with the marks made in step 1.
NOTICE
It is critical to mount the side frames plumb and per
the building style (Mounting Methods, page 5).

5. Unroll and then lift and lay the canopy cover (top bar
attached) on top of the side arms at the wall.
Lift up and slowly position the top bar behind the tabs
on the canopy mounting brackets.
Make sure the top bar is oriented correctly.
• All 4 faces of top bar should be covered with fabric.
• Fabric should be wrapped from front face of top bar,
under the bottom, up the back (against the wall),
across the top towards the front of the unit, then
extend from the top, front corner of the top bar down
to the front bar.
• The canopy cover and end caps (at the corners
where the canopy top and end cap meet) are laying
correctly over the edge of the mounting bracket.
6. Drape canopy cover over the front bar (the
2 1/2in [65mm] square tubing). Make sure the canopy
cover at the front corners lays correctly over the
corners of the front bar.

• The pocket/poly strip will wrap back up the back
inside face of the front bar and tuck behind the steel
angle welded at back.
• The pocket is notched to t around the side arm
bracket and the edge of the pocket should line up
with the edge of the steel angle on both ends about
1/2in [13mm] away from the side arm bracket. Make
sure that the pocket/poly strip combination gets
seated all the way down in the space between angle
and front bar.

INSTALLATION
Canopy Header Continued
WARNING
The canopy header is a self supporting unit.
Installing less than 6 anchors and/or insu󰀩cient
anchor installation methods is dangerous and can
cause unit failure.
Metal sided buildings require special and
increased mounting support considerations.
1 anchor location is required into solid structure
(H) (Figure 11) on each side of the door opening.
All other mounting locations require a backer
plate and pipe spacers (as needed) on the inside
of the wall so the mounting bar and the wall will
ex together.
• If structure is not aligned with 1 of the
pre-drilled mounting holes. Drill new hole
which will replace the nearest pre-drilled
mounting hole.
• If no structure is existing in this area, it must
be added at the outermost pre-drilled mounting
hole, directly above the side pad. All other
locations require a backer plate and pipe
spacers (as needed).

8. Review "Mounting Methods" on page 5.
9. Position top bar in brackets (F). Top bar must be
secured to building in 6 locations (G).
Top bar is pre‑drilled, but other holes may be drilled
in place of these in order to line up with building
structure or to avoid obstacles.

10. After all the anchors are installed and tightened and
the poly strip is seated properly at the back of the
front bar, release the safety chains at the "S" hook
locations (E) (Figure 8, page 8), and slowly lower
the front bar to apply tension to the canopy cover.
11. When the front bar is self supporting, check the
locations of the canopy cover's corners. Make sure
there are no hang ups of fabric. The corners must fit
properly so heavy loads (e.g. snow, ice) do not tear
the canopy fabric.
After the corners are correct, bounce the header up
and down slightly by pushing up on the front bar a
maximum of about 1/2in [13mm]. This helps pull the
fabric in the pocket around the front bar.
I
Front Bar
Height O󰀨 Grade
12. Measure height to bottom of front bar off grade and
compare to value in the PAF. If the front bar needs to
be raised, adjust the pin location (I) in the pivot arm
extension.
NOTE:Typically, the bottom of the front bar is at least
12in [305mm] higher than the tallest trailer height.
Each hole raises the front bar height ≈ 2 1/4in [206mm]
compared to the adjacent hole.
13. Caulk along the entire edge of the canopy top at the
building wall, making sure the ends are covered.
Use a exible caulk (appropriate for the conditions
and materials/surfaces being joined).
14. Pull the canopy cover end caps (located at each end)
down to cover the side frame.
Attach the end cap to the side frame backer using one
of the screws holding on the mounting bracket.
NOTE:Attach the touch and hold fastener tab at the
bottom, inside of the end cap to the mating touch and
hold fastener near the front of the side pad. Secure so
the end cap continues to lay at and unwrinkled.
After side curtain installation, this tab will end up being
clamped between the touch and hold fasteners on the
side pad and the side curtain.
