WIEDMANN BROS TC001-B Canopy Kit
Product Information
The TC001 Canopy Kit comes in five different color options, including blue, green, orange, red, and dark red. It is designed to be installed on a tractor ROPS (Roll-Over Protective Structure) and comes with all necessary hardware components, including an aluminum canopy with 48×38 heat/sound foam, foam strip, L-brackets, cross bracket, carriage bolts, nylock nuts, rubber iso- mount washers, flat washers, U-bolts, reinforcement brackets, and installation tools. The installation manual also includes safety recommendations and precautions, including the use of hard hats, steel-toe shoes, gloves, and safety glasses. The use of impact tools is not recommended as it may void the warranty.
Product Usage Instructions
- Read the installation manual thoroughly before starting the installation process. Familiarize yourself with the tractor ROPS and all the steps required for installation.
- Prepare the installation brackets by removing them from the brackets box along with the related hardware. Ensure that the nuts used are not the nyloc nuts.
- Remove the canopy from the canopy box and place it facing inside up. Attach both cross brackets to the canopy. Make sure that the foam strip is touching the inside surface of the canopy.
- Lower the installation bracket assembly on the left side of ROPS and use a magnetic level to ensure that the vertical edge of the installation bracket is perpendicular to the ground. Tighten the nuts, but do not over-tighten them as you will be taking this assembly off soon.
- Lift the canopy with the cross bracket already installed and place it over the L-brackets that are already secured to the ROPS. Ensure that the canopy is centered over the L-brackets.
- Remove the installation bracket assembly and repeat the same process for the right side L-bracket assembly to ROPS.
- Secure the canopy cross bracket to the L-bracket slots using M8-30 carriage bolt, iso-mount washer, flat washer, and M8 nut. Do not over-tighten to squeeze the rubber iso-mounts.
Note: The installation bracket assembly allows for easy installation and ensures even height of both L-brackets. Two sets of holes are provided, use the one that best fits your application. The canopy is designed for front leaning and rear leaning 3 ROPS as well as 2 ROPS. We recommend two people lifting the canopy and placing it over the L-brackets.
Carefully read this installation manual thoroughly and familiarize yourself with the tractor ROPS and all the steps before starting installation of the canopy.
