Page 2 The SureShade as shown in Fig 1 was set to a shade width of XX” center of port actuator to center of starboard actuator as modeled in the supplied 3D engineering file. Fig 1 112 inches For proper operation, it is vital that within the hardtop cavity the actuators are installed at the specified XX”...
Page 3 After drilling the mounting holes, thru-bolting the mounting clamps and securing the actuators in place, insert the outer crossbar into both ends of the actuators to ensure the actuators are mounted to the specified width (Fig 3). The crossbar should slide into the actuator tubes easily when mounted to the proper width.
Page 4 The electrical housing is pre-wired and tested before shipping. This unit is a 12V DC system. The electrical housing controls the retracted and extended positions as well as the synchronization of the actuators’ movement. The synchronization is accomplished by sensors positioned inside the actuator that communicate with the electrical housing.
