5.1 Canopy Removal for Replacement

1. If the unit has original canopy seals, plan ahead about canopy seal parts. Choose one of the following:
If you plan to transfer the seal parts from the old canopy to the new, order the corner label set (6600-
2358-100, set of two), as these cannot be reused.
If you plan to replace the seal parts, order the Enhanced Seal Retrofit Kit (M1208286).
2. Lock the rails in the intermediate position:
a. Raise the canopy.
b. Slowly lower the canopy until the rail locking screws align with the horizontal oblong holes in the rails.
(Refer to Figure 5-1.)
c. Use a 4 mm hex key to turn the rail locking screws counter-clockwise until they lock both rails in place.
3. Lower the elevating base to a convenient height for reaching the canopy.
4. Switch off the unit and disconnect the power cord.
5. Cover the bed with a sheet to catch any parts that may fall.
6. Remove the canopy from the unit:
a. Using a small straight-blade screwdriver, remove the six arrow clips that secure the soffit beneath the
north end of the canopy. Remove the soffit. (Refer to Figure 5-1.) Save the six arrow clips and soffit for
later reinstallation.
