FALCON RIDGE JD-XUV-825S4-TC01 2014 John Deere Gator XUV 825i Top Cap
CAUTION:
Do not smoke inside the cab or expose the enclosure to direct flames. The
product is FLAMMABLE.
Be sure to read these instructions thoroughly before opening and installing the enclosure. The installation is best done when the ambient temperature is 70°F or warmer. If installed in cold weather, warming the adhesive Velcro strips before installation is recommended.
- Open the carton and remove the rolled up Top Cap on a large flat surface that is clean and free of dirt.
- Check over the parts included in the carton with the parts list shown below:
Top:
- Velcro Hook strips: ———————————————— 7 each 6” long
- Double-Sided Velcro w/ 24” Straps Attached —————— 4 each
- 24” Straps with grommets —————————————– 2 each
- Top Panel ———————————————————— 1 each
Top Panel
- 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 them 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 Falcon Ridge 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 normal room temperature. It is best not to expose the Cab to either extremely 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 the additional hook and loop sets are needed, they can also be ordered.
