Floe VSD-3800 - Canopy Frame End Adjustment

23
Do not adjust canopy frame with fabric
attached. When the bolts are loose or removed,
a sudden wind could cause the entire frame
structure to blow off the lift and damage it.
Do not adjust canopy frame with boat on lift. If
lift failure were to occur, there is potential for
serious bodily injury or even death. Damage
may also result from the loosened framework
making contact with the boat.
As you can
see in Figs.
50, 51 &
52, the wa-
tercraft are
completely
covered
from front
to back and
the fabric hangs down vertically over the boat’s
side walls. This is the optimum canopy place-
ment.

Improper weight distribution on the main lift
beams can cause the majority of the boat’s
weight to be supported by only one beam.
This could cause an overload situation which
could result in lift failure and potential bodily
injury. If you do not know where your boat’s
balance point is, consult your dealer. When
determining balance point, the Boat Lift
Selector program on FLOE’s website, www.
oeintl.com, is a good starting point.
WARNING
END FRAME ADJUSTMENT
All canopy frames are equipped with the adjust-
able end frame feature. This feature makes instal-
lation and removal easier and pulls the canopy
fabric tight for a great looking t.
To adjust prior to installing or removing fabric:
1. Loosen center rail adjustment knob by turning
it counterclockwise (See Fig. 54). This will
allow the center rail to retract.
2. Using a 9/16” socket with either a wrench or a
cordless drill, spin main rail adjustment bolts
clockwise to retract each side (See Fig. 55).
3. Follow canopy fabric installation instructions.
WARNING
WARNING
Do not attempt to install or
remove canopy fabrics in windy
conditions. Strong winds or wind
gusts can make fabric handling
extremely difcult and can
cause a potentially dangerous
situation.
