INSTALLATION
WARNING:
-
To reduce the risk of serious personal injury, read and follow all warnings, cautions, and notes at the beginning of the removal
procedure.
-
Before installing a safety canopy module, inspect the roofline for any damage. If necessary, the sheet metal must be reworked to its
original condition and structural integrity. All damaged fasteners must be replaced and any foreign objects removed. Failure to do so
may result in personal injury in the event of a safety canopy deployment.
-
Inspect the safety canopy before installation. If the safety canopy is damaged or the cover has separated and the canopy material has been
exposed, a new safety canopy module must be installed. Do not attempt to repair the safety canopy module. Failure to follow these
instructions can result in personal injury in the event of a safety canopy module deployment.
-
Never put any type of fastener or tie strap around any part of the safety canopy module or interior trim panel. This will prevent the
safety canopy module from deploying correctly. Failure to do so can result in personal injury in the event of a safety canopy module
deployment.
