Instructions for Installation and Care of John Deere Gator XUV 550 Soft Door Rear Window Combo JD-550-DRW01
Notice : Do not smoke inside the cab or expose the enclosure to direct flames. Cab is Flammable.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTION

Be sure to read these instructions thoroughly before opening and installing. The installation is best done when the temperature is 70 degrees F. or warmer. The temperature affects the adhesive Velcro, if conditions prevent installing in warmer weather it helps to store the adhesive Velcro at room temperature prior to installation.

  1. Carefully open the carton and remove the enclosure on a large flat surface that is clean and free of dirt.

  2. Check over the parts included in the carton with the parts list shown below:

  3. Adhesive Velcro Hook Strips: 36 each————3”

  4. “ “ “ “ 2 each————14”

  5. Snap Stud with Screw 22 each (2 extra)

  6. Cab Enclosure 3 panels
    If any parts are damaged or missing please contact customer service at 606-845-7439.

  7. Begin by installing the doors. If possible, have someone else hold the door in place and mark the location of each Velcro strip sewn along the edge of the door. Now take the supplied 6” adhesive Velcro strips and wrap them around the roll cage at the marked locations. Now put the door back onto the vehicle and wrap the double-sided Velcro around the adhesive Velcro as shown in the photos below.FALCON-RIDGE-JD-550-DRW01-John-Deere-Gator XUV 550-Soft-Door-Rear-Window-Combo-FIG \(1\)

  8. Once the door is in place it’s time to install the snaps along the front and rear edges of the bottom of the door. Pull the door to where the snaps should be and mark the locations, and then screw the snaps into the plastic with a #2 Phillips screwdriver. Be sure not to over tighten the snaps as this may strip out the plastic. INSTALL TIP: Try putting the screw snap into the snap socket on the cab and then pull the cab to the desired location. Then push on the snap to create a mark that you can use to install the snap into the plastic. Photos on the next page show where to install snaps:FALCON-RIDGE-JD-550-DRW01-John-Deere-Gator XUV 550-Soft-Door-Rear-Window-Combo-FIG \(2\)

  9. Next install the rear window. Take the two 14” adhesive Velcro strips and place them on the horizontal bar that connects the two sides of the roll cage. Be sure to place them on the permanent bar, not the bar that folds down on the back seat. Place one on each side of the brake light facing towards the front of the vehicle and slightly upwards. The photo below shows proper placement:FALCON-RIDGE-JD-550-DRW01-John-Deere-Gator XUV 550-Soft-Door-Rear-Window-Combo-FIG \(3\)

  10. After placing the Velcro on the roll cage, attach the rear window. Across the top of the rear window is a cutout for the brake light, line this cutout up with the brake light and attach the rear window to the adhesive Velcro. See Photos Below:FALCON-RIDGE-JD-550-DRW01-John-Deere-Gator XUV 550-Soft-Door-Rear-Window-Combo-FIG \(4\)

  11. Next step is to attach the sides of the rear window to the rear doors. Sewn to the rear window are straps with buckles and sewn to the rear doors are loops. Take the strap on the rear window and run it through the loop on the rear doors. Then take the strap back through the buckle and pull tight. Do not over tighten to the point that the rear window is pulled more to one side than the other; you may have to adjust them until the rear window is centered correctly.

Cleaning and Storage Recommendations

  • Before removing the Cab for storage, make sure it is very clean in order to prevent scratching of the window panels. Clean with a soft rag or sponge using a mild liquid detergent soap and warm water solution. Never rub the windows with a dry cloth or rag! Let the Cab dry thoroughly before attempting to roll for storage.
  • It is important that the Cab be rolled up for storage rather than folding. Folding will cause damage to the windows!!! Carefully roll up the Cab similar to the way it was when it was packed at the factory. On a large, clean and flat surface, fold the doors over the rear panel first, then, interleave the top and windshield on top of the doors. Begin rolling the Cab into a roll approximately 8 inches in diameter. Put the rolled Cab back into the carton for storage at a normal room temperature. It is best not to expose the Cab to either extreme hot or cold temperatures when storing.
  • A special cleaner conditioner is available from Falcon Ridge that will greatly increase the service life of the Cab Enclosure. In addition, if additional hook and loop sets are needed, they can also be ordered.
