4. Installation Guide
4.1. Before You Begin
- Ensure your vehicle is parked on a level surface and the engine is off.
- Gather necessary tools: drill, drill bits (appropriate size for fasteners), measuring tape, marking tool, safety glasses, and any specific tools mentioned in the product packaging.
- Unpack all components and verify that all parts are present according to the packing list.
- Read through all instructions completely before starting the installation.
4.2. Installation Steps
- Prepare Factory Doors: The installation requires drilling into the factory door skin. Carefully measure and mark the drilling locations as indicated in the detailed instructions provided with the product packaging. Ensure accuracy to prevent damage.
- Mount Door Frames: Attach the TUSK Soft Upper Door frames to the factory door frame. These frames are designed to fit into the channel of the Can-Am roll cage. Secure them using the provided hardware. Do not overtighten.
- Install Soft Panels: Once the frames are securely mounted, attach the soft upper door panels to the frames. Ensure all zippers, snaps, or Velcro closures are properly aligned and fastened to create a tight seal.
- Check Fitment: Close the doors and inspect for proper alignment and seal. Adjust as necessary to ensure a snug fit and optimal weather protection.
- Final Fastening: Double-check all fasteners to ensure they are secure.
Note: Professional installation is recommended if you are unfamiliar with vehicle modifications or drilling procedures.
5. Operation
The TUSK Soft Upper Doors are designed for ease of use. Once installed, the upper door sections can be quickly removed when not needed, such as during warmer weather or when an open-air experience is desired. Utilize the integrated quick-release design to detach the upper sections from the frames. Reinstallation is equally straightforward, allowing you to adapt your UTV to changing conditions efficiently.
6. Care and Maintenance
- Cleaning: Clean the soft panels with mild soap and water. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, which can damage the material. Rinse thoroughly and allow to air dry.
- Frame Inspection: Periodically inspect the steel frames for any signs of rust, damage, or loose fasteners. Address any issues promptly to maintain structural integrity.
- Material Care: While the material is cold-crack tested, extreme temperatures and prolonged exposure to harsh elements can affect its lifespan. Store the doors or vehicle in a sheltered area when not in use for extended periods.
- Zipper Maintenance: Keep zippers clean and lubricated with a silicone-based lubricant to ensure smooth operation and prevent sticking.
7. Troubleshooting
| Issue | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Doors do not seal properly. | Incorrect alignment during installation; loose fasteners; worn seals. | Re-check installation steps for proper alignment. Tighten all fasteners. Inspect and replace seals if damaged. |
| Difficulty with quick-release mechanism. | Mechanism is dirty or obstructed; improper technique. | Clean the mechanism and apply a light lubricant. Ensure you are following the correct release procedure. |
| Material appears stiff or cracked in cold weather. | Extreme cold beyond tested limits; prolonged exposure. | While tested to -15° F, extreme conditions can still affect material. Allow doors to warm slightly before manipulation. Store in warmer conditions if possible. |
