Adjustable Front Support Strapsif so equipped
NOTE: Front support straps are NOT used when the front shade extension is in use.
If so equipped, the two adjustable front support straps (Fig. 46A) provide additional tension to the bimini
top to help prevent vibration of the frame in high speed boating conditions.
1. Each strap is connected from the top saddle of the front frame to the saddle mounted forward on
pontoon's fence rail (Fig. 46).
2. Use the strap's buckle to tighten or loosen tension applied to the bimini top.
3. When not in use, or when the front shade extension is deployed, disconnect the front support straps
from their forward rail saddles (Fig. 46B) and attach the spring clip to the saddle mounted near the
bottom of the front bimini frame (Fig. 46C).
NOTE: Optionally, the straps can be completely disconnected from their saddles and then stored in the
top's front zippered storage pocket (Fig. 46D).
4. Whenever the front shade extension is disconnected and stowed, the front support straps can then be
reinstalled, if so desired.
NOTE: The bimini is rated for 45mph with the front straps in-place.
The bimini is rated for 25mph without the front straps in-place.
Front Support Arms—if so equipped

If excessive shaking of the bimini top is experienced, whether the front sport arms are in use or not,
stop the boat immediately. Lower the bimini top and secure with boot.

Front support arms add to the bimini frame's structural strength and to the overall awning assembly during
boating at moderate speeds, in gusty winds and inclement weather. Lippert front support arms are easy to
deploy and store away neatly and securely when not inuse.
