7. Put the cloth cover on the frame. Put the bottom of nylon cover around the bottom of the frame and
connect the Velcro strips. Bring the nylon cover up and around the top of the frame and connect the top
Velcro strips. Wrap the panel around the side, and connect the final Velcro straps.
8. Put the covered frame back in the door opening. Turn all five of the white plastic cam levers to the
“expand” position (away from side of channel) to lock it into place.
9. Ensure that the panel is solidly anchored in position. If it needs to be tighter, release the cam levers one at a
time, loosen the knob, push the frame into position, tighten the knob, and re-actuate the cam lever.
To remove the frame
1. Release all five white cam levers. Pull the frame from the doorway. It may be necessary to loosen some of
the black knobs if the frame was secured tightly in the doorway.
2. Lay the frame flat on the ground, a lean it against a wall.
3. Remove the cloth, and fold it for easy packing.
4. Loosen the black knobs and collapse the frame to its smallest size. The frame can be transported in this
fashion, partially assembled, by re-tightening all of the knobs.
5. To disconnect the frame, push the metal button in while pulling the frame pieces apart.
