Capture Hood Assembly
The Capture Hood is shipped from the factory partially assembled with the 2 ft 2 ft (610 mm 610 mm)
nylon hood attached to the base. If you wish to use another hood size, see Changing Capture Hoods.
To complete the assembly of the 2 ft 2 ft (610 mm 610 mm) hood, follow these six steps:
1. Place the base of the capture hood on the floor.
2. Lift the top of the fabric. Insert one end of a support pole into its pole mount in the base. There is a
cup in each corner of the frame to accept the other end of each support pole.
3. Grasp the support pole. Bend the pole slightly to insert the top end of the pole into the support pole
cup located in the opposite corner of the fabric frame. The poles are connected to the frame corners
in a crisscross fashion as shown in Figure 16.
