ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE TETRAGON 1610
Insert one of the corner pins into the end of
the pole at
A
. At the opposite end
B
, with the
pole in one hand and a pin & ring in the other,
feed the pole up, bending it evenly along its
length to create an arc. Place the pin into the
end of the pole to maintain tension. See fig 2.
Repeat with the other pole from
C
to
D
, raising
the tent as you work.
Insert the corner pin at
A
into the ferrule at the
end of the side pole. At the opposite end
D
,
with the pole in one hand and a pin &
ring in the other, bend the pole
evenly along its length to
create an arc. Place the pin
into the end at
D
to maintain
tension.
Repeat with the left side
tent body from
C
to
B
.
See fig. 4.
NOTE:
• Although it is possible to pitch this tent alone, it is faster and
easier with two people.
• Do not drop tent bag or pole bag on its end. Do not bounce tent
bag on its end to get the tent out. These actions may cut the
shock-cord and/or damage the pole ends.
Unroll and unfold the tent and lay the floor on the ground.
Remove the fly and open the tent door. Do not stake down the
tent just yet; but in windy conditions, stake down one corner into
the wind.
Assemble all the shock-corded poles. Make sure each pole
section has firmly seated into the adjacent section. Try to keep
the poles from snapping together as this can damage the ends.
Lay the poles side by side and divide according to length.
Slide the two black long poles through the sleeves on the main
tent body.
Make sure the ferrules do not get caught on the sleeve.
They
should run corner to corner crossing in the center. From A to
B and from C to D. See fig. 1.
Slide the shorter grey poles into
the sleeves over the side
windows. Again,
make sure the
ferrules do not get caught on
the sleeve.
See fig. 3.
Drape the fly over the tent so that the
brim rod sleeves are above the doors and
the vestibule is at the front door. Slide
the brim rods into the sleeves. See fig 7.
Reach under the fly and insert the brim rod
tips into web grommets to tension the rod
and create an arch over the door. Repeat over
the rear window. See fig 10.
Pull out and stake down the two front loops
of the fly/vestibule. Then pull out, stake down
and tension the attached cords on each side
of the fly. The fly should not lay in contact
with the tent. See fig. 11.
Reach under the fly and wrap the hook
and loop straps around the poles to
secure the fly to the tent frame. See fig 8.
Fasten the shock-corded J-hook, at each
of the corners of the fly, to the stake out
rings on corners of the tent. See fig 9.
Important: In strong winds, tie extra
guy out cords (not provided) to
the storm loops on the fly.
Stake these out securely.
