If you have a Lexan windshield already installed on your Gator you can do one of two things. You may use the straps with Velcro sewn to one end and wrap the roll cage under the windshield with the 6” adhesive Velcro strips. Then wrap the double sided Velcro sewn to the end of the strap around the adhesive Velcro. If you choose you may also drill a 5/16” hole in the windshield and bolt the strap with the grommet directly to the windshield. The bolt should be installed from the inside out with a washer then strap, another washer and a locknut. Tighten all the way down and then loosen the locknut ½ a turn to free the strap to allow it to swing around to any position.
-
Now place the top over the entire vehicle, the front of the top is identified by the sides not being as steeply curved, and begin by lacing the front straps through the ladder lock buckles sewn to the front corners of the top.
-
Now take two of the straps that are sewn to the double-sided Velcro and wrap then around the rear bar of the roll cage halfway between the bottom and the first bend up the bar. The strap should be on the outside of the bars.
-
Now run those straps up and through the ladder lock buckles sewn to the rear of the top.
-
You now need to tighten and loosen the strap of the top so that it is centered correctly and should cover the holes across the top of the windshield.
-
If you were installing the Top by itself you would use the two remaining straps with double-sided Velcro to attach the front. You may need to cut the straps once fitted, do not cut off too much as you have nothing to hold on to and pull it tight the next time you go to install it. It is recommended to leave about 6-8” hanging from the buckles.
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.
