MAIN COVER STEP 3. LACE MAIN COVER TO
FRAME
Once cover is completely aligned and secure, you will
lace each side of the cover to the BOTTOM CROSS
RAIL. Start at one end and tie off the ROPE #R-7003
to the Lower CROSS RAIL. Lace the rope through
the grommets in the cover flap, and back under the
Cross Rail.
Repeat down length of unit, tie off at Cross Rail. Do
the same for the other side.
MAIN COVER STEP 4. RECHECK COVER &
DOORS
Retighten or readjust Main Cover and Doors if
needed by adjusting the turnbuckles. Retighten the
laced rope.
BOTH THE COVER AND END PANELS SHOULD
BE CHECKED AND TIGHTENED ON A MONTHLY
BASIS.

MAINTENANCE AND CARE
Annually or more often, the unit should be
completely inspected internally and externally to
make certain the unit remains properly installed and
secured. Particular attention should be paid to:
Hardware – check all carriage bolts and hardware
connectors to be certain they are in place and
tightened.
Anchors – during normal weather trends, the unit
will strain against the anchors under windy
conditions. Anchor hardware connection to frame
members should be maintained tight and depth of
anchors should be checked to be certain they
remain deeply and firmly set.
Snow Accumulation – all snow accumulation on the
main cover should be removed as soon as practical.
The most damage from snow weight can occur the
days following a snowfall when the snow melts. Unit
is not designed for any amount of accumulated
snow or ice. Tap the main cover from the inside
with a broom end to knock off any accumulated
snow.
Main Cover Lacing – the poly rope that secures the
main cover to the bottom rail of the frame assembly
should be checked, and adjusted as needed. The
tension on the main cover should be uniform from
end to end and side to side. Rope ends must be
tied off onto the frame members at the ends on each
side.
Turnbuckle Adjustment – during normal wind
conditions and load, the doors and main cover
adjustment points at the turnbuckle should be
checked and tightened as necessary. The
turnbuckles should be neither completely extended
nor taken up, so that turnbuckle should be tight
when in the mid range of overall adjustment. If
necessary, readjust rope tie off on turnbuckle as
needed to tighten or loosen as needed.
Cleaning – cover and doors can be cleaned with a
mixture of light detergent and water. A soft bristle
brush with the mixture can be used to loosen any
hard dirt, mold, or buildup on the cover. After
cleansing, the cover should be rinsed thoroughly to
avoid any chemical reaction from residual detergent.
Allowing dirt and debris to sit on cover over an
extended time will damage cover irreparably.
Severe Weather – in preparation for inclement
weather, completely secure the doors on both ends
of your Rhino Shelter building. Allowing wind to
enter either end lifts the building and puts undue
stress on the anchoring system. This also shortens
the life of the doors, zippers, and main cover.
