One installer to guide center pole pin through hole to prevent snagging or tearing of fabric as pole is being raised to position. Keep pole at a slant until other pole at the same lace is raised. Tie jump ropes as each center pole is placed in approximate position. Adjust bases of poles to exact location and align poles vertically. CAUTION: At this point, it is required to prop- erly anchor bases of all center poles to prevent movement. JUMP ROPE JUMP ROPE 6 RAISE SIDE POLES Start at downwind side. Insert each side pole pin into side pole hole and raise slightly less than per- pendicular. Bottom of each pole should be pointed inward toward center of tent. Wall ropes should run outside of corner poles and side poles. Tie jump rope around each side pole as it is insert- ed in pole hole. Continue around tent. 6 SIDE POLES INSTALLED ON DOWNWIND SIDE 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 recommended for the best overall appearance: 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 guy web 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. JUMP ROPE CORNER POLE CAUTION: KEEP TO SIDE OF WINCH WHEN TENSIONING. DO NOT EXTEND LENGTH OF WINCH BAR TOOL.

It is imperative that the instructions be carefully read and COMPLETELY FOLLOWED. Please read installation instructions before the installation or removal of this product. Installation instructions are available online at www.anchorinc.com or by calling 1-800-544-4445. CAUTION: 1. For each installation, the installer is solely responsible for evaluating the site and the proper securing method determined. Some soils require different staking or securing than that provided with the tent. Due to this variety of soil conditions, these are the manufacturer’s suggested sequence of installation procedures. Anchor’s responsibility is limited to the manufacture of the tent parts and materials. We are not responsible for methods that installers may choose to erect and secure the tent to the ground. 2. The number of stakes suggested in the installation instructions do not necessarily meet all or any relevant codes on the site of the tent installation. The number of stakes suggested will, in many cases, keep the tent erected, however, due to various soil conditions; these stakes will be insuf¿ cient to keep the tent secure in high winds. It is the tent installer’s responsibility, not the manufacturer, to determine the appropriate number of stakes to meet the necessary wind loads on the site. Regardless of the number of stakes we suggest, we make no representation or warranty as to whether this speci¿ c number of stakes will meet the local tent code. Anchor does not, nor can it make any suggestions, representation, or warranties about the adequate staking required at each speci¿ c installation site. Staking information provided in the installation instructions is not a suggestion about what is necessary to meet a site-speci¿ c load. For additional important information, consult: “The IFAI Procedural Handbook For the Safe Installation and Maintenance of Tentage” and the IFAI Pocket Guide “Pullout Capacity of Tent Stakes”, both available from the IFAI Tent Rental Division or on our website. 3. Inasmuch as the weather is unpredictable, good judgment and common sense must be incorporated within installation guidelines. It is the responsibility of the tent installer/maintainer to determine the severity of the weather, proper time and method of installation and/or erection and disassembly. Note: We recommend that snow and ice be removed from the tent surface as soon as possible because accumulation will damage the tent or fabric structure. Please consult with our Engineering Department about the maximum loads for each product. This product has been manufactured for use as a temporary structure. For the safety of all occupants, evacuation is recommended if threatening weather occurs, or if there is any doubt concerning the safe use of this product. 4. Proper safety equipment should be used at all times to insure a safe installation and take down. We suggest a careful evaluation be made to determine safety equipment needed, such as hard hats, steel-toe shoes, safety glasses and other as required. It is our desire that all installations are safe. Please be aware of hidden dangers both underground, i.e., gas lines, water lines, electrical lines, etc. and above the tent such as power lines and telephone lines. 5.
