MAINTENANCE AND OPERATION OF YOUR NEW FLIP-N-GO TARP SYSTEM
Every week for the first month after installation, then monthly thereafter:
- Grease pivot points on lower arms
- Grease bearings on roller plate assemblies
- Remove handle cover and check chain tension. If chain is too tight or too loose the system will not operate properly
- Check tarp for any abnormal wear. Small holes can become big problems if not fixed soon enough.
- Check all bolts and tighten if necessary
- Immediately fix/replace any parts that are damaged
- Use oil similar to WD40 to oil the chain. Do not oil near the crank mechanism because it may cause it to ‘ slip’ and not work safely or properly
OPERATION OF THE SYSTEM
* SPECIAL NOTE: The first time the tarp is rolled up onto the roller, make sure that it rolls evenly on both sides. If not, make certain all installation steps were followed correctly. You may need to ‘ shorten’ one side of the tarp by repositioning the tarp on the roller tube in order to have both sides roll evenly.
TO UNCOVER LOAD
- Turn safety lock to the "unlock" position.
- Turn crank handle counter clockwise until cross arm rests securely at roller.
- Turn safety lock to "lock" position.
TO COVER LOAD
- Turn safety lock to "unlock" position
- Slowly turn brake handle counter clockwise until arms start to move
- To make system move faster - continue to turn brake in same direction
- To make system slow down or stop - turn clockwise
- Cover load completely until arms are at correct resting place
- Turn brake handle firmly clockwise to tighten
- Turn safety lock to "lock" position
*IMPORTANT NOTE: In order to avoid damage to the system always slow down the arms as much as possible before they hit the rear arm supports. The arms should not 'slam' on the rear arm supports; the arms should be gently lowered.
Please call Cramaro Tarpaulin Systems, Inc. if there are any questions or concerns regarding your installation.
