FRAME ASSEMBLY:

1. Locate all of the Frame components (Part N° 1,2 ) Figure 1

2. From bag A containing the black plastic parts remove the four joining knuckles. Using the 8G x 1/2” pan-head, screw the joining knuckle marked “A” (Figure 2) To each of the bent main bow pieces (Part N° 1)making sure that the nut recess is facing outward and the screw head is inwards. (Figure 3) NOTE: The holes might need to be drilled out with a 3.5mm drill bit.

4. Attach the joining knuckles labeled “B” (Figure 2) to the top of the straight components. (Part N°2) (Figure 3 & 4) Making sure to line up the hole in the knuckle with the pre drilled hole in the aluminum tube and that the nut recess is facing out-ward. You should have a mirror pair of canopy ends. Figure 4

5. Screw the four plastic press studs to the out side of the main bow legs using the supplied countersunk 8G screws. Figure 5

6. Screw the 4 stays (Part N° 7) to each joining knuckle. You should now have two halves which look the same as Figure 6

7. Slide on the 4 sliding knuckles to the bottom of the legs (Part N° 1 & 2) with the nut recesses facing out-wards. Figure 6

8. Take the 4 bent end bow sides (Part N°4 & 5) and place them in pairs with the plastic insert Figure 7 facing downwards. Now screw on the bow knuckles making sure that the nut recesses are facing outwards. Figure 8

9. Screw the end bow sides (Part N°4 & 5) to the 4 stays and sliding knuckles using the 4 cam leaver assemblies. Figure 9. Make sure that the two stainless tube ends (Part N° 5) are connected to main bow side. Figure 10.

10. Lay the two halves of the “A” frame on the ground/work bench and layout the fabric top as shown in Figure 11. NOTE: The top is inside out with the brand facing the ground. Make sure that the two Main bow legs are facing upwards.

11. Take the two end bow joiners (Part N° 6) and slide them through end pockets of the fabric top, leaving the holes on each end exposed. Figure 12

12. With the holes lined the same as Figure 13 you can now slide the end bow joiners and the main bow joiner (Part N°3) onto the two frame assemblies. Note: The center joiner must be sitting on top of the fabric Figure 14

13. Take the four 3mm flat bar pieces and slide them down each side of the center pocket making sure that the holes line up with the cutouts. Figure 15 & 16

14. Using a 4mm drill bit drill out the inner tube to match the holes in the joining tubes (Part N°3 & 6). Bolt the two end bows to-gether using the 4mm x 30mm button head screws from bag C. Figure 17 Note: Make sure the heads of the bolts are on the out-side of the frame. Figure 18

15. Using the 4mm x 40 button head screws from bag C bolt the center joiner together. Making sure to go through both pieces of 3mm flat bar. Figure 19 NOTE: LEAVE BOLTS LOOSE

16. Lubricate the four legs with the supplied silicone wipes. Figure 20

Canopy assembly will be competed once installed on the boat.

Deck mount installation

16. Mark the center of the area you would like the Kingfisher Canopy to cover.

17. Measure 250mm each side of this mark. This is the centre of the deck mounts (part D).

18. Decide whether the canopy will fold down to the front or the back (check it will lay flat in your chosen position - alter as necessary).

19. Make sure the mounts are posi-tioned at the correct width (Kingfisher Canopy frame will flex 50 inwards -100mm outwards if need-ed).

20. Place the deck mount (part D) in po-sition and mark holes for drilling. Drill the holes through the gunwale using a 5.5mm bit.

21. Place the deck mounts in position and bolt them down (using parts A, B & C). N.B. Take care not to strip Phil-lips head in bolt A, and lubricate bolt A to avoid binding bolt to nut.

22. Now you can fit the Eclipse Canopy to the deck mounts. The Kingfisher logo on the canopy should be at the back of the boat.

23. Before opening canopy apply some silicone spray/wipes to the legs and make sure that the fabric is covering the corners of the end bows.

24. Make sure that the fabric is pulled over all corners of the end bows. Figure 23

25. Open the canopy by releasing the four cam leavers at the bottom of the legs and pulling out the two end bows.

26. With the canopy now open make sure that the top sides come down an equal amount past the press studs on both sides. Figure 24

27. Now fully tighten the 4mm x 40mm Button head screws connecting the top to the main bow.

28. With the side stretched over the press stud mark out the position with a pencil. Figure 25

29. Take a Stanly knife and cut a 5mm cross in the fabric for the press stud. NOTE: Cutting this while stretched over the press stud will help prevent over cutting the fabric. Figure 26

30. Put the snap part of the press stud into press stud base already on the frame. Figure 27 Now place the stem of the cap through the fabric and line up with the hole of the press stud. Figure 28 Using a hammer join the two haves together. Fig-ure 29

31. With the top open screw the fabric to the frame in each corner through the plastic inserts with the 8g 1/4” self tapping screws. Figure 30

32. NOTE: If the press stud is too loose this can be fixed by placing some thin plastic in between the press stud base and Stud. Figure 31

32. Find the bunji cord with the two hooks attached. Figure 32

33. Fit the travel sock to the canopy and fold it down flat to the boat.

34. Clip one end of the cord to the sup-plied loop on the canopy cover. Pull the cord down to the chine rail with appropriate amount of tension to hold the canopy down but still allow you to easily unhook the cord. Cut the cord at this length.

35. Now attach one of the hooks to this end by first placing the collar onto the cord and then putting the hook over the cut end until it stops. Then slide the collar over the hook until it locks into place. Figure 33 Repeat for the other side.

36. Finished sock and cord should look like Figure 34
