Texsport 14100 Replacement Tent Pole Kit - Manual

ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS
Replacement Tent Pole Kit
Kit contains:
• 4 5/16” diameter x 25-5/8” long
fiberglass poles
• 3 vinyl pole caps
• Zinc coated steel ferrule
• 10’ of elastic shock-cord
• 29” leader wire
Step 1 Before shock-cording pole sections together, determine if pole is the correct length. If pole
is too long, it can easily be cut down with a hacksaw. When cutting a fiberglass pole,
rotate it so it is scored all around before sawing it through; this will prevent splintering.
Step 2 Melt the end of the shock-cord so that it is not fraid. You can do
so with a lighter. This makes it easier to string the shock-cord
through the poles – or use the leader wire.
Step 3 Starting on the end of the pole WITHOUT the ferrule, push the
shock-cord all the way through the pole.
Step 4 Leave enough shock-cord to string the rest of your poles together and tie a knot at the end
of the shock-cord. This will prevent the shock-cord from slipping through while stringing
the poles. Sometimes a double overhand knots are required to secure the cord, (as shown
above).
Step 5 Continue pushing the shock-cord through the poles, end side first, then out the ferrule side,
so the poles fit inside each other.
Step 6 Once you have strung all your poles, each pole section should
fit snugly into each other. Now stretch the shock-cord tight (but
not to its limit). Hold shock-cord firmly and cut it approximately
5” from the end of the pole. Tie a double overhand knot at the
end of the shock-cord. Cut off excess shock-cord around the knots.
Step 7 Slide appropriate end tip onto your assembled pole to finish.
