ROLL-UP PANEL INSTALLATION The roll-up panel is secured to the frame using fabric clips and Tek screws. ATTENTION: If the main cover of the frame has already been installed, remove the cover and the ratchets from the Flat Wall side of the shelter. These will be replaced after the front roll-up kit has been installed. WARNING: To prevent damage to the panel and to prevent serious personal injury, DO NOT attempt to install the roll-up panel on windy days. The following steps describe one way to assemble the rollup conduit and to install the roll-up panel. Insert the roll-up conduit into the pocket along the bottom of the roll-up panel. With assistance, lift the panel and evenly wrap the edge over the top of the door header pipe. Locate the round 315" pipes for the roll-up conduit and assemble. Each conduit assembly consist of the following swaged and plain pipes: Kit # Swaged Pipe Plain Pipe #104497 #131S075 (3) #131P0255 (1) #104498 #131S075 (4) #131P072 (1) #104499 #131S075 (6) #131P0495 (1) #104500 #131S075 (8) #131P0255 (1) 7. Frame length shown may differ from actual frame. Center the cover end-to-end and verify that the roll-up conduit is level across the ground. Temporarily secure panel in place with 90" fabric clips if needed. Move to the inside of the frame. Using scissors or a utility knife, notch the roll-up panel so that the panel can wrap past the rafters and around the door header as shown below. After assembling the roll-up conduit, secure the pipe joints with a Tek screw and tape over the screw head with duct tape. Dashed lines show where the cuts should be made. Inside View Locate the roll-up panel and spread it out on the ground (with its underside facing up) along the Flat Wall side of the assembled and anchored frame. See diagram below. 8. Wrap the notched flaps around the door header and secure to the pipe using 90" fabric clips and Tek screws. See diagram below. Evenly space the clips as needed. IMPORTANT: Position the clips on the underside or backside of the door header pipe so that the head of the Tek screw does not touch the main cover.

INSTALL ANTI BILLOW STRAP Gather the parts: Anti-billow strap (#103620E) Anti-billow straps secure the roll-up panel when it is in the down position. Complete the following steps to install the straps. Verify that the roll-up assembly is lowered in the down position and side ratchets have been attached to the rafter legs through the roll-up panel. Insert one end of bulk strap through a side ratchet handle and tie off tightly. Using the distance to the ground as a guide, cut a section of the strap. Strap must reach from the ratchet to the ground post of the same rafter and must be long enough to allow room for the roll-up panel to increase in size as it is rolled up. Allow extra to tie the other end of the strap in place. Secure loose end of strap to the front of the ground post. Anti-Billow Straps NOTE: Circles indicate where to secure straps. Repeat steps for each rafter leg. Continue by reading the Shelter Care and Maintenance section that follows. SHELTER CARE AND MAINTENANCE Proper care and maintenance is important. Check the following items periodically to properly and adequately maintain your building and panel assembly: Regularly check the main cover and panels (if equipped) to see that these remain tight and in proper repair. Frequently check the anchoring system and all components. Replace worn or damaged parts immediately. Check all fasteners frequently to verify that these remain tight and in good repair. Do not climb or stand on the building or frame at anytime. Verify that the roll-up kit components are in good working condition. Do not allow roll-up panel to remain in the raised position for extended periods. Lower the panel to allow it to dry and for cleaning. Replace anti-billow strap immediately if worn or broken. Remove debris and objects that may accumulate on the shelter. Use tools that will not damage the cover when removing debris. Remove snow to prevent excess accumulation. Use tools that will not damage the cover when removing snow. Never allow snow to accumulate on the main cover or to remain against the sides or end panels after it is removed from the main cover. Check the contents of the shelter to verify that nothing is touching the cover or panels (if equipped) that could cause damage. Replace all worn or damaged parts immediately. For replacement or missing parts, call 1-800-245-9881 for assistance.
