Positioning of the lower half of the side frame.

Distance from the centre console to lower side frame (1inch to 7inch). Check under the floor for wires or other objects that could block the mounting. Place the lower half of side frame in the desired position and mark as a reference. Remove the side frames and measure the distance between the front mounting position from Port to Starboard (side to side). Write this measurement down.

Insert the raised circle area into the counter sunk hole of the side frame insert bolt from inside the ball clamp into the side frame end and tighten. NOTE Allow the ball clamp to rotate very slightly for adjustment.

NOTE: For Pro3 t top, there is 2 smaller clamps which must be assembled onto the 3rd bow of the top frame for attaching the 2 large handles. But please don't attach the handles at this time. Keep the clamps movable until you install the legs and find the exact position where you can tighten it.

STEP 5: Assemble the front and centre section of the top frame

Note the shape of the front section is narrow and also has a bend curve which faces downwards when attached to the side support frames of the T Top.

Note the lap joints have a number on the flat face match these up for correct installation.

DO NOT use washer for top frame assembly, the washer is for support frame only!

IMPORTANT: These small holes should be at the same side of each

bow otherwise it is not a correct installation and you may meet

trouble when attach the top frame to the legs.

STEP 6: Attach the Side Supports to the Assemble Top Section

Check the direction of the side support arms Logo to the outside, handle to the rear The small curved top frame for the cover curves and bends downwards to the floor

Remove the tops of the ball clamps please NOTE the clamps are to be placed on the same way (they are numbered inside)

Find the center of the cross bar on the top section mark this. Use the measurement you marked out for the postion of the deck mounts Mark this in the two cross beams on the top section that is assembled.

Attach the partial top section to the support frame ensuring all parts are facing the correct direction. (refer to pictures of T Tops for reference if unsure.)
