Always make sure silver bearings on all arcs are facing in the UP position. Slide arc ‘A’ through canvas sleeves of ground fl oor piece and connect to
pieces ‘A-B-A’. ‘A’s in horizontal position. Ball bearings on arcs should slide into holes on ‘A-B-A’ connector. Do this until all connectors are in place
and the circle is complete.
**IMPORTANT** ‘A-B-A’ female connectors should curve inwardly slightly as they will complete the fi rst circle on the fl oor of the Teepee.
Now you are ready to place each of the 5 vertical support rods ‘B-C-D’. Bottom ‘B’ slides into the horizontal female connectors labeled ‘B’. The ball
bearings should slide into holes on ‘A-B-A’ connector and click. The ‘B’s should match up ‘B’ to ‘B’ and ‘A’s should match up to ‘A’s. It is important
to remember that the prongs point UP on all the vertical support rods. Repeat with all 5 ‘B-C-D’ vertical support rods.
Now you are ready to start the fi rst level tier. Place each ‘C’ arc onto the prongs on the vertical support rods ‘B-C-D’ already erected. If ‘C’ arcs do
not fi t onto the prongs easily DO NOT FORCE. The arc is upside down. When you are sure that ‘C’ arcs are in the correct position, slide them
through the hem of the largest of the 3 canvas platforms and set them into the prongs at each vertical support rod at ‘C’ position. Make sure arcs are
in the UP position as indicated with an arrow label pointing UP. DO NOT FORCE. If arc does not fi t easily, turn it upside down and try again.
Do this all the way around. Then screw a nut cap onto prongs to secure arcs in place. Do this on all prongs and arcs on each level.
