7 RAISE CENTER POLES
Slowly raise center poles nearest to wind direc-
tion to approximate position. One installer to
guide center pole pin through hole to prevent
snagging or tearing of fabric as pole is being
raised into position.
Keep pole at a slant until other pole at the same
lace is raised. Tie jump ropes as each center
poles is placed in approximate position. Adjust
bases of poles to exact location and align poles
vertically.
CAUTION: At this point, it is required
to properly anchor bases of all center poles to
prevent movement.

8 WINCH FOR TENSION
If the footprint of the tent has been laid out properly
and the tent placed squarely within that footprint,
the following tensioning sequence is recom-
mended:
1. Tension webs at the lace lines first.
2. Tension webs at the corners.
3. Tension webs at the ends.
4. Tension webs at the middles last.
NOTE: If the tent is not square, or if center poles
lean when laces are tensioned, reverse steps “1”
and “2” above.
At each side pole, release winch tension and place
bottom of side pole at the marked footprint eave
line location.
Insert web guy into winch. Pull excess through
winch. Tension, using winch bar. DO NOT USE
EXTENDERS ON WINCH BAR TOOL.
Caution -- DO NOT OVER TENSION TENT
BEYOND EAVE LINE. DO NOT PULL SIDE
POLES OR CENTER POLES BEYOND
VERTICAL POSITION.

Good Precautionary Measure: It is a
good idea to have a spotter on outside
of tent to watch that center pole top pin
does not get caught on fabric as it is
being raised.
