2.
The tarp is 47 feet long and 14.5 feet wide. It extends approximately 3 feet over each side rail
and approximately 2+ feet on the ends.
3.
Due to the drop deck configuration of the semitrailer, the tarp overhangs the upper deck side rails
a few inches.
4.
The last 4 front tarp grommets for the upper deck, on each side, will require the guy ropes to be
shortened and/or the use of short rubber bungee cords.
CAUTION
Make sure no guy ropes or bungee cords cross over the 36 inch
bolster plate area, to include the front kick up portion of bolster plate.
They will interfere with coupling and will be cut during road movement
causing tarp to become unsecured and damaged.

bungee hooks. Use front lower bulkhead support for attaching guy ropes or bungee hooks. Keep
