it. For additional photos, see http://www.tarptent.com/scarp1.html
1. Spread canopy on ground, black floor side down. Remove stakes from stake
bag and have ready.
2 Assemble 7-segment, main arch pole. Pole length is just over 10 ft / 3 m.
3. Insert pole tip into yellow pole sleeve, push pole through sleeve, and insert
both pole tips into grommets.
4. Pull out one corner of the canopy, spread strut ends apart, loop guyline over
stake and stake to ground. Repeat with adjoining corner so that one end of
the canopy is secured. Leave center edge strut guyline loose for now.
5. Now walk to the other end of the stucture, lift and pull both corners to
center the central arch, and stake one of the corners as shown.
6. Now pull the remaining corner guyline out and stake.
7. Adjust corner positions, center arch, and restake as necessary to ensure
canopy is taut.
8. Set center edge strut to a vertical postion, pull out center edge guyline, and
stake. Repeat other side.
10. Use line tighteners at each corner to fine-tune tension. Line tighteners (pull
cord end to tighten; lift lever to loosen) adjust tension.
