INSTALLATION

DETERMINING THE CENTERLINE OF THE HARDTOP TO POSITION
THE SHADE
NOTE: Refer to the supplied shade specification drawing to determine the shade's centerline width. Shade centerline
width is determined by the centerline of the port actuator tube to the centerline of the starboard actuator tube, and is
the most critical dimension in order to properly center the shade framework on the hardtop.
Mark hardtop centerline as follows:
1. Measure across the hardtop at the forward section from the port side to the starboard side. Using a grease pencil,
mark the center of the hardtop (Fig.3A).
Repeat step 1 for the aft section (Fig.3B). Using the pencil marks as a guide, run tape or string down the center of
2.
the hardtop (Fig.3C).

3. After marking the centerline of the hardtop, begin determining the placement of the mounting clamps.
Placement of mounting clamps must hold actuators parallel to each other to ensure proper
functioning of shade system.
A. Refer to the shade centerline width dimension on the shade specification drawing.
B. Take 1/2 of the width of the shade specification drawing dimension and measure out from the hardtop
centerline to the port side by that amount (Fig.4, VIEW A).
NOTE: For example, if the shade centerline width is 80", measure 40" from the hardtop centerline to the port
or starboard side (Fig.4, VIEWS A and B).
