Step 1

Open the shipping crates and separate the parts according to the size of the unit, refer to Figure 1.

Step 2

Place the two BASE ENDS and the two BASE SIDES in their approximate relationship to each other, see Figure 2.
Fasten together using three 1/4-20 fasteners per corner for 5 inch high base and four 1/4-20 fasteners per corner for
12 inch high base.

Step 9

Assemble HOOD PANELS
to HOOD RAIL ASSEMBLY.
The HOOD END ASSEMBLY
with the MALE RIB is to be
installed first see Figure 7,
Detail E. Place the remaining
HOOD PANELS in place,
interlocking panels as you
go, see Detail E. Secure each
HOOD PANEL to the HOOD
RAIL ASSEMBLY as it is put
in place using four 12 X 3/8
inch sheet metal screws with
sealing washers per HOOD
PANEL. The HOOD END
ASSEMBLY with the FEMALE
RIB is to be installed last.

NOTE: Hoods over 9 feet
wide are supplied with
special HOOD CLIPS. See Detail F. HOOD

PANELS have predrilled holes for HOOD CLIP
installation. Install CLIPS as HOOD PANELS
are being put in place, using one 12 X 5/8 inch
sheet metal screw with sealing washer per
HOOD CLIP. To install CLIPS in the last panel,
remove the end FILTERS to provide access to
the underside of the hood. The FILTERS can
be easily replaced after the hood is completely
assembled.
