firmly tying one end of the shock cord to a loop on one side of the tarp and then passing the other
end of the shock cord thru the loop in the center of the tarp towards the other side and stretching
the shock cord so that it pulls the tarp up and in toward the center. Apply just enough tension so
the edges of the tarp do not rub on the plates. The tarp can and will overhang the roller on both
ends. Tie a secure knot in the shock cord where it passes thru the loop on the other side of the
tarp. It is best to tie the shock cords as the tarp is being wound onto the roller.
H. Operate the unit back and forth a few times to make sure that everything is working properly
and the tarp winds correctly. If the tarp does not wind up fully onto the roller, more winds (up to
50) may need to be put on the roller. Make this adjustment as shown in Section E above. Also
check to make sure that tarp is not bunching up or rubbing on the plates (shock cords too loose)
or the windscreen (shock cords too tight). Any of these conditions will prevent the tarp from
winding properly on the roller. Correct as necessary.
The Relief Valve on the Cover Control Valve may need to be re-adjusted because of the spring
pressure acting on the arms and the weight of the tarp. Adjust if necessary.
NOTE: THE SPRING MAY HAVE TO BE RE-ADJUSTED IN THE FUTURE DUE TO THE
SPRING TKING A SET. This can be done as shown in section E above.
