ASSEMBLING THE TENT
1.
Assemble each pole section-by-section as described above, then
insert it into its hole in the hub.
The finished pole assembly will look like an
“X” with two short crossbar poles.
2.
Lay the tent body out flat.
In windy conditions, peg all the floor corners before
proceeding.
3.
Lay the frame down on the tent body so that the legs of the “X” are lined up
with the four corners of the floor. Carefully insert the pole-ends of the “X”
into the corner grommets; this will cause the pole assembly to arch up into
a dome shape.
4.
Connect all the clips to the poles. Following the seams will help with this,
since each pole follows a single seam line.
5. Near each door peak on the canopy there is a metal S-hook.
Hook each of these
S-hooks into the small eyehole located halfway along its corresponding
crossbar pole.
ATTACHING THE FLY
1. The grommetted webbing at the corners of the fly is colour-coded to match the
webbing at the corners of the tent body.
Spread the fly out over the tent so that
the webbing colours on the fly corners match the webbing on the tent body.
2. On the underside of each corner of the fly, about halfway up the seam, is a Velcro
®
tie-wrap that goes around the corresponding pole.
Attach these tie-wraps to
the poles.
3. On the underside of the fly, just above each door peak, is a small webbing pocket.
Insert the pole ends into these pockets; lift UP on the end of the cross pole
to make each insertion easier.
4.
Fit all of the grommetted webbing tabs on the fly corners over the appropriate
pole ends, folding the grommet tabs under the tent body as shown in figures
A and B.
