STANDARD GRAIN CART TARP INSTALLATION
Run the ridge cables through the 3 auger side slots in the front end cap so that the nut and washer stop
the cable from pulling through the slot. Pull the cables over the tarp bows down to the rear of the cart. (If
needed) Drill three 3/8” (10mm) holes in the rear end cap 2” below the three highest slots (three slots clos-
est to auger side of cart) in the endcaps flat plate. Insert the J-hooks in the rear endcap from the inside and
put 3/8” (10mm) centerlocking hex nut on each. Run the ridge cables through the rear slots and loop the
cable around the J-bolt with the cable clamp. Tighten the 3/8” centerlocking hex nut on the rear J-hook until
the ridge cable is brought tight. Grind any excess bolt sticking out from the J-bolts. Cover loose ends with
electrical tape. The electrical tape covering loose cable ends will prevent wear to the canvas tarp!

Install the Spring Return on the front of the grain cart using ten 1/4”-16 x 3/4” long self tapping bolts on
the front of the grain cart. It should be placed as far to the opposite auger side as possible and as high
as possible. The pulley wheels should be pointing to the opposite auger side of the grain cart. Try to
get the spring return as high up on the wall of the grain cart as possible, while keeping it level. This will
help prevent any collisions with the upper auger.
