7/ If two people erect the tent, one person holding the
central hub will allow the other to lock off the joints in
accordance with the above points. The tri-guy system
described on page 5 can be used to temporarily secure the
tent on it’s “knees”. However guys must be loosened off
prior to locking the lower joints into position. Further
information on erecting your tent in windy conditions is
provided on your Ridgi-dome instruction video.
8/ Lifting one side of your Ridgi-dome lock off the lower
manual joint, you will find it necessary to pull the material
downwards so the auto joint is clear of any sleeve. Repeat
the same process on the remaining 3 main poles (FIG 10)
9/ You can at this point if necessary temporarily peg the
four corner feet of the main structure in order to keep in
position in windy conditions. However these may need to
be adjusted when finally pegging your Ridgi-dome in
position. At this point you should peg the four tri guys
into position (see positioning and pegging of tri guys P5)

THREADING THE BEDROOM POLES
If you have purchased the XXL Excelsior then please refer
to the XXL Excelsior ‘Bedroom poles’ section on page 7.
1/ One bedroom pole set is made up of a 2 section adjustable
aluminium upright pole which is linked by a grey folding
auto joint, to two shockcorded aluminium roof pole sections .
The other 2 section bedroom pole set will be the same but
the grey folding auto joint will only link it to one aluminium
roof pole section. – fig 11
2/ Take the upright adjustable pole section which is linked to
two aluminium roof poles and assemble the pole. Ensuring
the joint has ‘locked out’ the correct way – fig 13 with the
small plastic eye facing the flysheet, thread the top two
sections of roof pole through the sleeves of the bedroom
roof section of the flysheet – fig 12
Repeat the same with the upright adjustable pole section
with one aluminium roof pole linked via the grey auto joint,
however thread this in from the opposite side of the
bedroom until the swaged section of one pole meets with
the open section of the opposite pole.
