is being removed to take the strain off the bolt and
prevent the arch from dropping suddenly when the
bolt is removed. Once the bolt is removed, slowly
lower the arch until it is supported by the cables in
the down position. Reverse this process to raise the
arch and tighten the bolts securely.
Don’t overtighten the mounting bolts and never
use impact wrenches and power tools on the bolts.
The bolts and fasteners are stainless steel which
will cause the bolt threads to gall if the bolts are
turned too fast by power tools. Galling is the term
for thread damage that occurs from heat build up
tightened. Galling will destroy the threads and lock
up the fasteners before they are tight, destroying
the fasteners and rendering them unusable.
NOTICE:
A special welded bracket that supports the
arch is standard with the arch option and must
be used if the arch is rotated forward while
trailering.
Fiberglass Electric Folding Arch
(268SS/288SS)
equipment on the 268SS and 288SS. The arch is
folded or raised by electric actuators in each side of
the arch that are activated by the Folding Arch switch
in the battery switch panel. The actuators lower or
raise the arch and secure it in the selected position.
A “push to reset” circuit breaker in the battery switch
panel protects the circuit for the folding arch.
The arch is designed to accommodate the canvas
top, radio antennas and navigation lights. It is also
equipped with a ski tow designed for towing one
average sized person.
The rocker switch that controls the arch is an ON-
OFF-ON momentary rocker switch. Press the top
of the switch to raise the arch. Press the bottom of
the switch to lower the arch. The switch automati-
cally returns to the OFF position when it is released.
Limit switches automatically stop the arch when it
reaches the full up or full down positions.
To lower the arch, make sure the forward and rear
canvas top sections are folded to the arch or re-
moved. Make sure the house battery switch is ON
then press and hold the bottom of the Folding Arch
switch until the arch is in the full down position and
the actuators stop. To raise the arch, press and hold
the top of the switch until the arch is in the full up
position and the actuators stop.
