MOST WIND RESISTANT ELECTRIC TARP CONVERSION
The EXT arms do not hyper extend in the wind because the linkage keeps a constrained range of motion. This is important for a safe one man operation.
PATENTED FORCE TRANSFER
The patented " Force Transfer" linkage allows the arms to climb heaped loads and perform excellent in the wind.
PREASSEMBLED & PREWIRED
This electric conversion kit comes preassembled for fast and easily installation.
Includes:
All metal 1.8 HP High Torque Motor
1 Wireless Remote Kit
1 Preassembled Front Arm
1 Preassembled Rear Arm
1 Roll Tube Adapter
All mounting hardware.
ADJUSTABLE
The adjustable mounting bracket makes it easy to install.
SAFE & EFFICIENT
When operating in the field, it's important to efficiently close your tarp. Slow tarp openers allow more time for the wind to lift your tarp and cause unnecessary damage. Stay in control of your tarp wirelessly and power through wind with the EXT electric tarp conversion kit as a safe one-man operation.
BUILT SOLID
All of the EXT components are built to last for years and are tested in the harshest conditions.

- How to install an EXT Electric Conversion.
STEP 1
Measure for placement of the front base on the trailer, approximately 31’’ down from the top of the trailer.
NOTE: Not from the roll tarp end cap.
STEP 2:
Position the base with the top hole at the 31’’ mark down from the top of the trailer. Have the center line decal on the center stake of trailer and mark the remaining rivets/ holes.
NOTE: If the catwalk is in the way deter- mine if above or below the catwalk is closer to 31’’.
STEP 3:
Using a 5/16’’ drill bit, drill out the marked rivets/holes.
STEP 4
Thread holes with the provided 3/8’’ self threading bolt.
STEP 5
Using 1 1/4’’ x 3/8’’ bolts , mount the base utilizing the pre-threaded holes.
NOTE: For trailers with ribbed paneling, it is necessary to use nylon spacers provid- ed.
STEP 6
On the interior of trailer install the 3/8’’ nuts, lock washers, & flat washers onto the 1 1/4’’ x 3/8’’ bolts.
STEP 7
Use the holes on the face of the base that is closest to 33’’ down from top of trailer to mount the pivot/arm assembly with the 1 1/4’’ x 1/2’’ bolts provided.
STEP 8
Drill a 1’’ hole below the base, preferrably under catwalk so cables do not touch.
STEP 9
Install small rubber grommet in the 1’’ hole.
STEP 10
Lace cable through arm as shown and push through grommet, let cable sag down a few inches from the catwalk.
STEP 11
Determine desired location for the plug receiver. Before drilling 2’’ hole check to make sure there are no wires or hoses underneath or in the way.
STEP 12
Install receiver using 3/8’’ self threading bolts.
STEP 13
Mount rear base in a similar manner as the front base.
STEP 14
Use the holes on the face of the base that is closest to 33’’ down from top of trailer to mount the pivot/arm assembly with the 1 1/4’’ x 1/2’’ bolts provided.
STEP 15
Remove bungee cord and u-clamps from tarp.
STEP 16
Meaure from front arm to 3’’ beyond rear arm to determine length of roll tube and adapter.
STEP 17
Pull the end of the roll tube out away from the tarp and insert roll tube adapter,
spot weld straight then weld. Be sure to protect the tarp and surrounding objects from welding splatter. Let the weld cool , then slide the roll tube back into the white poly bushing of the rear arm (approx. 2-3’’ beyond bushing).
STEP 18
Mount the motor to the front arm, using the 5/16’’ nuts and lock washers.
STEP 19
Install cable terminals to the studs on the motor. Do not allow stud to spin when tightening, and do not over tighten.
STEP 20
Install motor to motor shaft adapter with the 1 3/4’’ x 3/8’’ bolt and 3/8’’ locking nut.
STEP 21
Mount the retaining washer to secure motor.
STEP 22
Install motor cover using 1/4’’ torque screws and lock washers provided.
STEP 23
To reinstall the u-clamps, be sure the
roll tube is slid back into rear arm then square front arm with the face of the trailer. Next, install front u-clamp and remove all wrinkles and twists from pock- et by stretching the tarp from the back of trailer. Proceed installing the rest of the u-clamps.
STEP 24
Square rear arm with the back face of the trailer. Then install roll tube collars.
