8. Mark the slots that the current fabric is in then remove any fabric retaining screws in the roll bar and
slide the roll bar off the fabric.
9. Determine the type of canopy replacement:
• If replacing a full fabric canopy or canopy with Alumaguard or canopy with Uniguard:
For arms using
an upper mounting bracket, it will be necessary to remove the upper bracket from one side. After
removing the bracket brace the arm using scaffolding or similar support.
CAUTION
THE LOWER MOUNTING SCREWS FOR ARMS USING THE UPPER BRACKET MAY NOT BE MOUNTED INTO STRUCTURAL
MEMBERS OF THE COACH WALL. FAILURE TO SUPPORT THE ARM CAN RESULT IN DAMAGE TO THE COACH WALL.
• For canopy only replacement for units with Alumaguard:
The fabric is crimped into the aluminum slat.
Use a large flat screw driver or similar tool to spread open the crimp on both sides of the fabric.
• For canopy only replacement for units with Uniguard:
Remove the retaining screws from both sides
of the Uniguard.
