    LEG ASSEMBLY 1. Install the 3/8 x 1” carriage bolts and nuts on the outer legs and leave slightly loose. 2. Install the inner legs with the end with two holes facing up. The carriage bolt heads slide in the slots. 3.
  • Page 11 ATTACHMENT TO LIFT 6. Raise the canopy legs until their tops are level (horizontal) by loosening the carriage bolts slightly one at a time and sliding the inner legs. A string, water or laser level will be very helpful here. Recheck the legs for plumb and adjust as necessary. 7.

  • Page 14 SPECIAL NOTES FOR Solø™ 30, 33 & 39 CANOPY FRAMES 1. These Solø™ canopies add a center extension section to a Solø™ 26 canopy. 2. The center section pieces are added in as the side rail and ridge rail assemblies are built. The same splice plates and rafter clips are used to connect the additional pieces.
  • Page 15 END RAIL ASSEMBLY The "end" rail assemblies are identical. The rails themselves are symmetrical, so there is no need to orient them in any particular direction before starting assembly. BUNGEE CLIP 1. Slide four Bungee Clips and a Medium Rafter Clip LACING RAIL into each rail dovetail and space them evenly as shown below.
  • Page 16 SIDE RAIL ASSEMBLY - Solø 26 1. Slide two Bungee Clips and a Medium Rafter Clip into the inner dovetail slot in each of the side rails. A Medium Rafter Clip is the same as a Corner Rafter Clip, but without threads in its side holes. 2.
  • Page 17 SIDE RAIL ASSEMBLY - Solø 30, 33, 39 1. Longer canopies have three piece side rails instead of two piece. They are similarly assembled. 2. The side lacing rails may have a hole that is offset from the center. The red bars in the illustrations show which direction the lacing rails are installed.
  • Page 18 CORNER ASSEMBLY 1. Position one of the completed end rail BUNGEE CORNER CLIP assemblies so that the free ends of its Splice RAFTER Plates can be inserted into the outer dovetail CLIP LACING slots of the assembled side rails. RAIL 2.

  • Page 23 END RAFTER ASSEMBLY SEE PAGE 5 1. Install the two end rafters, grooves up. The end with the horizontal hole is at the top. 2. At the top, the bolts already holding the RidgeRrafter Clips should be loose enough to slip the top of the end rafter in between.
  • Page 24 FINISHING THE CANOPY FRAME 1. Install the corner pads by passing the supplied cable ties through the holes in the pads and around the upper side rafters as shown below. 2. Walk around the canopy frame and tighten each of the fasteners snugly. Verify that all parts are aligned properly and that none of the extrusions are bent or bowed.

    FINAL ASSEMBLY 1/4 - 20 BOLT 1/4 - 20 LOCK (HIDDEN) 3/8 - 16 LOCK 3/8 -16 X 3 3/4 FLAT HEX HEAD WASHER BOLT 1. The canopy frame is now ready to be installed on the lift. Do not install the canopy fabric yet, as it would make the installation process more difficult and possibly dangerous as well.
  • Page 26 FINAL ASSEMBLY (cont’d) 4. If the canopy frame bows out slightly in the middle, tighten the bolt in the middle of the Rafter Strap. IT SHOULD NOT NEED TO BE TIGHTENED COMPLETELY. If there is still some bow with less than a ¼" gap in the center of the strap, examine the lift installation to determine the cause of the problem.
