Step 9:
Take the end of the middle/short pole and place into the pole dowel of the sliding bracket on the yellow marked 12 o'clock pole.
Step 10:
Then attach the 6 o'clock pole to the inside bracket pole dowel. Do the same - at the other bracket at the 9 o'clock position. This should be the last pole to attach. Remember to bow the pole towards 12 o'clock as you attach it to the inside pole dowel.
You should now have all three poles attached to what is now called the combination pole bracket assembly (main bracket with two poles attached - both outside poles - 12 o'clock/yellow marked to outside, 6 o'clock to inside, MID pole attached to the sliding piece on 12 o'clock/yellow marked pole) - (see Fig. 9).
Step 11:
Now gently erect the tent by lifting all three poles (both sides) towards the 6 o'clock - door position.
You should have a three pole assembly centered at each bracket (see Fig. 10) with the edges of the tent evenly distrib- uted around the circumference of the top trampoline frame.
One person should now hold the tent upright. Initially attach the velcro straps on each side of each pole bracket. This will center the fabric of the tent with respect to the frame. Then the other person should go around the tent/trampoline perim- eter and attach the rest of the velcro hold down straps to the top frame (over the frame pad). Initially a loose tie down at several diagonal locations is recommended. Then a total "snug" tie down can be performed. You may have to try several "wrap" schemes for the velcro straps to get a snug fit.
The tent is now ready for use (see Fig 11).
Follow your trampoline manufactures directions for getting on and off the trampoline mat (bed) to enter the tent.
