Step 6 Attach Tension Straps
Place curtain web through triangle ring at end of corner tab
as shown in Figure 6. Fasten upper hook of tension strap to
curtain web. Insert lower hook into slot in upright.
Use ratchet to take up slack in web. This prevents uprights
from sliding off weldment when other side of tent is raised.
Do not tension at this time.
Repeat at other uprights in similar fashion. Upright
