FALCON RIDGE Massimo MSU 700 Full Cab Enclosure
Instructions for Installation and Care
Notice: Do not smoke inside the cab or expose the enclosure to direct flames. Cab is Flammable.
-
Be sure to read these instructions thoroughly before opening and installing the Massimo MSU500 Full Cab with Aero-Vent Lexan Windshield. 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.
-
Carefully open the carton and remove the enclosure 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:
-
The majority of the door is held in place by double-sided Velcro strips sewn perpendicular to the edges.
You need to wrap the roll cage with one of the 3” adhesive Velcro strips first and then wrap the double-sided Velcro around the adhesive strip to provide a secure hold. Below are photos showing how these should look.
-
Begin by placing 3” adhesive Velcro strips on the roll cage across the top of the door as shown in the picture below.
-
Now work your way down the front of the door as shown below.
-
Then down the back of the door as shown below.
-
Once all of the Velcro is in place the bottom of the door should just fall into place with the magnets.
The front of the door goes to the inside of the factory half door and the rear portion to the outside with the magnets going down the roll cage. See photo below.
-
Once the doors are complete begin installation of the Rear Window Panel. Take the 40” adhesive Velcro strip and install it along the top of the top bar running from side to side. Please see photo below for reference.
-
Now install Velcro straps sewn to the sided at the top and bottom. You may need to remove the strap on the door to get the adhesive Velcro in place. See Photos below.
-
Then Snap the bottom of the Rear Window to the plastic panels behind the seats. Raise the bed and screw the snap studs into the plastic where the snaps on the Rear Window line up at. Snap the panel in place and lower the bed.
-
Also at this point before you lace the Rear Window to the door you should wrap a 6” strip of adhesive Velcro to the roll cage a little less than halfway up the rear bar. Then wrap the double-sided strip with the strap sewn to it around the adhesive strip with the webbing strap facing the top of the vehicle. This will be for holding the Soft Top in place later. The photo below shows how this should look.
-
Now take the two 70” cords and lace the Door Panel to the Rear window as you would a pair of shoes.
Run the cord through the top holes from the inside out so that you have two equal length pieces coming out of each hole. Then lace the cording down the remaining holes to the bottom and tie them off cutting off any remaining cord. Be sure to melt the ends to prevent fraying. The photo below show how this should look.
-
Next step is to install the Lexan Windshield. Please install as described in the instructions included with the windshield.
-
Once the Lexan Windshield is in place it’s now time to install the roof panel. Included in your package are two sets of webbing straps. One set has grommet holes in one end and these are used for the front of the top. The other set has double-sided Velcro sewn to one end and is used for the rear of the top.
-
Start in the front and take the webbing straps with the grommet holes and attach it to the middle bolt of the windshield clamps. See photo below for reference:
-
Now take the strap and run it through the buckle sewn to the corner of the top. Do not pull tight until all straps have been attached. See Photos Below:
-
Once the front straps have been attached to the windshield move to the rear of the vehicle and attach the webbing straps with double-sided Velcro to the rear bar between the rear door and the rear window. First wrap the bar with the adhesive Velcro and then wrap with the double-sided as you did with the front and rear doors. Two extra straps have been provided for top only usage. See photo below:
-
Once all straps have been attached to the buckles pull them tight. You may need to loosen and tighten as you go to ensure that to top is centered. If waves appear across the top diagonally this is usually a good sign that one corner has been pulled tighter than another.
-
Lastly, after the top has been pulled tight install the top brace. Take a small knife and poke an x through the fabric where each hole is located. Now install as shown in the windshield instructions. See photo on next page:
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 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.
