Considerations For Your Install

Step 01

Installing the L-Brackets

  1. Place the L-brackets against your roll bar, facing forwards or backwards.*
  2. Mount the brackets toward either the inside or outside of the roll bar.**
  3. Insert a U-bolt from the opposite side of the roll bar through the two holes in the L-bracket.
  4. Add a split lock washer and 3/4″ nut to each end of the U-bolt. Snug the nuts just enough to hold the bracket in place.
  5. Repeat on the other side.

Parts needed

  • U-Bolts (2)
  • L-Brackets (2)
  • Split Washers (4)
  • 3/4" Nut (4)

Securing the Risers

  1. Place a serrated bolt through the top hole and secure with a serrated nut.
  2. Place a serrated bolt through the bottom slot and secure with a serrated nut.
  3. Snug both so the riser holds its position (you will set the angle later).
  4. Repeat on the other side.

Parts needed

  • Riser (2)

  • Serrated Bolt (4)

  • Serrated Nut (4)

Setting Your Canopy Angle

  1. Place the support arms over the risers
  2. Set them at the angle you desire for your canopy.*
  3. Tighten the nuts once the angle is set.

*You can install your canopy perfectly level or angled slightly down in front. Some customers do this to encourage branches to slip up and over.

Parts needed

  • Support Arms (4)

Attaching The Shell

  1. Slide the canopy shell onto the support arms, centering it left to right.*
  2. Position it front to back so the pre-drilled holes in the arms align with the flat bottom of the ribs.*
  3. Clamp in place.
  4. Using a 3/8″ bit, drill through the pre-drilled arm holes and through the plastic shell.**
  5. From the top of the shell, insert a 5/16″ bolt with a fender washer and secure underneath with a 5/16″ washer and nylon lock nut.
  6. Repeat for the remaining three holes.

Tips

* The back of the canopy has the rib flush with the edge.

**If this doesn't give you the placement you want, ignore the holes and drill your own

** The oversized hole allows the shell to expand in hot temperatures.

If you have Grab Handles or the Accessory Bar, don't secure the front two bolts just yet.

Parts needed

  • Canopy Shell
  • 5/16 Bolt (4)
  • 5/16 Fender Washer (4)
  • 5/16" Washer (4)
  • 5/16 Nylon Lock Nut (4)
