HOW TO SET UP
STEP 8
Unscrew top attachment nut from bolt. Place
grommeted fabric top over the bolt, install
top attachment nut and tighten until snug.
Top should rotate easily -
Do not over
tighten.
Repeat on remaining grommets.
STEP 9
With partner, grasp the bottom of the
diamond shaped area of trusses on
opposite sides of the shelter. Lift up and with
partner begin to open shelter by stepping
backwards stopping at no more than one
arms’ length each.
IMPORTANT:
If shelter starts to distort,
return shelter to hexagon shape, and repeat
step 9. Complete steps 9A - 9D.
STEP 9A
Move to the next adjacent side, with partner moving to the
opposite side. Lift up and with partner A., continue to open by
stepping backwards no more then one foot each.
STEP 9B
Move to the next adjacent side with partner A., moving again
to the opposite side lift up and continue to open by stepping
backwards no more than one foot each.
STEP 9C
Move to next adjacent side. Shelter should be very close to
being open. Do not force shelter open. Smaller steps will
prevent frame distortion.
When shape starts to distort,
you have gone too far.
STEP 9D
You may need to continue to repeat steps 9A or 9B until shelter
is fully open.
