INCLUDED

(1) Brumleve® Reinforced Steel Tarp Bow
(2) Elbows/Bow Shanks shipped unattached

ADJUSTABLE WIDTH

A Set Screw is installed on one end to allow for width adjustments. This is useful if your trailer isn't exactly 96 inches wide.

INSTALL INSTRUCTIONS

Weld one elbow/shank on the end without the Set Screw. Insert at least 4 inches of the elbow inside the tarp bow for strength support.
Insert the other elbow and loosen the Set Screw to adjust the width so the tarp bow fits securely inside the brackets mounted to the inside of the trailer.
Once it is properly fitted inside the brackets, tighten the Set Screw to secure the length.

Please note our tarp bows do not ship with the elbow welded in. The images are only used to show what the finished tarp bow should look like when assembled.
