1/
The Ridgi-dome pole system, as with all Khyam
tents, is on the outside thus offering an infinite number
of guying positions just by simply attaching a guy rope
to the frame work itself.
However there are purpose made attachments for the
guy ropes on the underside of the to corner auto joint
(see FIG 22 E). These attachments are for the tri-guy
system which is supplied and fitted to your tent ready
for use. In the unlikely event that you should need to
remove one or all of the tri-guy systems, please make
sure you have noted the way in which they are attached
for your future reference. Should you ever need fitting
instructions these are available through your Ridgi-
dome dealer.
2/
Each tri-guy has been secured for transit by gathering
all the rope together and tying in a loose knot. Untie
each individual tri-guy gathering and locate the limiter
fitting attached to the end of the guy rope (the limiter
will consist of 2 black plastic rings attached to each
other with an elastic shock cord. The final black plastic
Ring will have a webbing pegging point attached to it)
“The limiter has been designed to ensure that you
tension the main pole tri-guys correctly, particularly
not over guying. The guy runner on the top section of
each tri-guy is to allow for adjustment when erecting
the tent in windy conditions and should not be used
to tension the tri-guys when the tent is fully erected.
Moving the runner after the tent has been pitched
may result in the guy line being over or under
tensioned. If you do accidentally move a runner
always check the limiter on the base of the guy line”.
3/
When pegging each tri-guy into position always
ensure that the shock corded elastic, on the limiter, is
not fully stretched. The small guy-line loop on the
limiter should be loose (see FIG 23).
4/
Bedroom guy ropes should be pegged as far from the
Tent as possible (see FIG 22).
N.B.
It is important to note that the guy ropes should not
be over tensioned as this will only distort the overall
Shape of your tent, enough tension to arrest the poles
movement is all that is needed. Guy ropes should also
be pegged as far from the tent as possible this way you
will achieve a more lateral tension thus giving maximum
support to your Ridgi-dome.
