Tensioning:
N
Tension the tent top in the following
sequence:
1 Web belts (ends of tent)
2 Lace lines
3 Corners
4 Intermediate pole positions
Manually:
Slant the side pole so the base of the pole is
inside the tent perimeter. Shorten the distance
of the rope going from the tent to its stake and
tie off using a clove hitch knot. Straighten the
side pole to a near vertical position. (The pole
should be slanting in slightly).
Mechanically:
Attach the web strap from the web and ratchet
assembly onto the side pole fitting. Position the
base of the side pole in its final position [ in line
and where you want it to be when you are finished ]. Pull the excess web through the ratchet.
Tighten the web strap until the side pole is in a near vertical position and the web strap is taut.
Continue to tighten the web belts (ends), lace lines, corners and intermediate poles. After all ropes
or webs are installed and tensioned, check to make sure the center poles are straight. Adjust the
tensioning if poles need to be altered slightly. See fig 22 and 23.
