Quick release assembly for electric side roll tarps

A quick release assembly for a side roll tarp, the assembly comprising:

• a roll-tube coupler is connected to a roll-tube for rolling and unrolling the side roll tarp;
• and
• a drive coupler connected to a shaft of a motor, the drive coupler fitting within an opening in the roll-tube coupler, the drive coupler having a first groove and second groove circumferentially around an exterior of a circular shaft below a head portion of the drive coupler,
• wherein a quick release pin traverses through a pair of openings tangential to a rotational axis in a body of the roll-tube coupler to engage the first or second grooves of the drive coupler, wherein the drive coupler is:
• engaged with the roll-tube coupler when the quick release pin is in the first groove allowing the motor to drive the roll-tube;
• and
• disengaged from the roll-tube coupler when the quick release pin is in the second groove allowing the roll-tube to be rotated independently of the motor.
