Anchor FIESTA FRAME TENT LIFT - Manual (Page 3)

APPLICATION:
REFER TO ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTION OF SPECIFIC TENT BEING INSTALLED
FOR SUGGESTED NUMBER & POSITIONING OF FRAME LIFTS.
NOTE: Winch is designed to lift the load (frame) when hand crank is turned in a clockwise direc-
tion (“reeled in”). This should produce a loud, sharp clicking noise.
To lower the load (“reel out”), turn the hand crank in a counter-clockwise direction. No noise will
be produced.
To lock the load at any desired elevation, simply release the hand crank. For extra security at a
locked position, turn the handle (2) clicks in the clockwise direction.
1. Position winch at side of tent so that the eave hook hangs over the eave bar of side to be
lifted.
2. Reel out the web, lowering the eave hook until it can be engaged to bottom of eave bar
approximately 14” above the ground.
3. Turn ratchet handle to reel web in, raising the frame. Use care to prevent web from twist
ing or wrapping around pole.
4. If additional stability is needed, insert 30” tent stakes into the (3) horizontal tubes on the
baseplate as a lateral base extension.
5. As eave bar approaches approximately (4) feet of height, use ratcheting action of winch
handle to clear the eave bar as it passes the winch.

DISASSEMBLY & STORAGE: [Requires (2) workers for disassembly]
1. Lift up top pole and remove from bottom pole. Place into storage rings.
2. Rewind web until eave hook is approximately 6” from top.
MAINTENANCE & CARE OF WINCH:
1. LUBRICATION: This winch has been fully lubricated at the factory, but for con-
tinued smooth performance and increased life, occasionally grease the gears, reel
shaft, and handle threads. An occasional drop of oil on the drive shaft bearings is
also recommended. DO NOT OIL OR GREASE THE BRAKE MECHANISM.
2. CLEANING: The winch finish can be protected and will provide longer service if it is peri-
odically washed with water and then wiped with a light oil wax.
E.
F.
CAUTION: NOT FOR THE MOVEMENT OF HUMAN BEINGS.
Never apply load to winch with web fully extended. Keep at least three full turns of web on the
reel at all times.
Sufficient load must be applied to the web to overcome internal resistance and operate the brake
properly; otherwise, turning the hand crank counter-clockwise will only remove the crank from the
shaft, but, the reel will not turn. Minimum operating load = 75 lbs.
CAUTION: FRAME LIFT IS FOR FRAME INSTALLATION PURPOSES ONLY.
