MHRookie Posted May 28, 2022 Share Posted May 28, 2022 You should be able to Google and get the instructions. You prewind the tube and use filter wrench to hold in place and insert fabric. I believe it was 15 turns to preload. You can also take the right arm loose and wind more if it needs it later, it’s just not as convenient.

Fabric should have about 3/4” clearance on each end. I just rotate inward slightly till I can insert the pin. Then it’s locked to the spring. Then I remove topper and roller and move slide in 4 to 8 inches, hand roll topper on roller and reset into ends. 8” is close to one rotation of roller. That’s how I was told to put more tension to keep topper taught. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
