Abstract
A system for selectively covering a container with a tarp. The system includes a roller and a tarp connected to the roller. A motor is connected to an output member, and the output member is releasably engaged with the roller. Actuation of the motor when the output member and the roller are engaged causes movement of the roller relative to the tarp. A crank is releasably connected with the roller, wherein one of the crank and the roller is connected to a coupler and the other of the crank and the roller is connected to a joint. When the output member and the roller are disengaged and the crank is connected with the roller, rotation of the crank causes movement of the roller relative to the tarp.
