Step 4:
Place the tent on the mat (bed) and determine where
you want the door of the tent to be located. The door
is "D" shaped and has zippers on the outside. A
WARNING label should be on the outside next to the
door. This will be your tent access point. Now attach
a tent pole support bracket assembly (see page Fig. 3
for assembly details - make sure the curved part of
the front piece is up against the top frame) to a
vertical leg that is at 90 degrees to the door (3 o'clock
- see Fig 3). To attach the bracket will require tools.
Tighten the bolts/nuts securely. A lock washer should
be placed between the back piece and the securing
nut. The bracket should be as close to the top frame
as possible. The rotating pole dowels to which the
tent poles will finally attach should be outside the
frame (see Fig. 4). At 9 o'clock attach the second
bracket to a vertical leg (see Fig. 3). Both assemblies
should be aligned parallel and "snug" to the top
frame.

Now arrange the tent on the mat (bed) of the trampo-
line so that interior side of the tent is UP and the pole
sleeves are accessible. A WARNING label is on the
exterior of the tent near the door. Locate the tent
pole sleeves on the interior (side up) of the tent
through which the poles will be inserted. Insert the
short pole into the middle sleeve. Do not force the
pole(s) through the sleeve(s). You will have to gather
tent fabric together to ease the poles through the
sleeves. Put the long pole with the yellow stickers
on the ends in the sleeve away from the door -
this sleeve has yellow fabric at each end - this is
the 12 o'clock pole.
The other long pole goes into the sleeve at the door -
6 o'clock. Leave the pole ends exposed outside the
tent fabric edge (see Fig.5). These poles are longer
than the width of the trampoline and will be bowed to
erect the tent. Now gather the tent together and turn
the whole assembly over and rotate it so the door is
back where you want it (6 o'clock) and all of the pole
ends are close to the pole attachment brackets. Be
careful to not tear the tent fabric on the springs.
At the 12 o'clock position - opposite the door loosely
attach a velcro strap that is part of the tent bottom to
the top frame. The strap should go over the top of
the frame pad and wrap around the top tubular frame
part. This strap will be at the mid-point of the window.
This is to hold the tent down at that point until the
poles are finally attached to the brackets and the tent
is erected.
