FAILURES IN FIBERGLASS POLES NORMALLY OCCUR THROUGH INCORRECT USE,
MAKE SURE THE POLE SECTIONS ARE FULLY INSERTED INTO THEIR ADJOINING
FERULES AND DO NOT OVER STRESS THE POLE BEYOND IT’S DESIGNED CURVE. ZIPS
SHOULD BE TREATED WITH CARE TO PREVENT PREMATURE FAILURE AND THE TENT
SHOULD BE KEPT CLEAN AND DRY AFTER USE.
INSURANCE
WE HIGHLY RECOMMEND THAT YOUR TENT BE INSURED AGAINST THEFT AND STORM
OR ACCIDENTAL DAMAGE. STORM OR ACCIDENTAL DAMAGE IS NOT COVERED BY
THE WARRANTY.
CHECK YOUR EQUIPMENT BEFORE GOING AWAY WITH YOUR TENT. ENSURE THAT
YOU ARE FAMILIAR WITH THE PITCHING OF THE TENT AND THAT ALL PARTS ARE
PRESENT.
YOU SHOULD FAMILIARIZE YOURSELF WITH THE TENT, INCLUDING ANY
LIMITATIONS THAT IT MAY HAVE FOR YOUR PARTICULAR USE.
DOME TENTS ARE PORTABLE STRUCTURES WHICH UNDER MOST CIRCUMSTANCES
WILL PROVIDE COMFORTABLE SHELTER AGAINST THE ELEMENTS. THERE ARE
HOWEVER EXTREMES OF WEATHER FOR WHICH ALLOWANCES SHOULD BE MADE.
DO NOT BLAME THE TENT !
ERECTING YOUR TENT
PLEASE NOTE THE NEBRASKA IS A LARGE FAMILY TENT AND WE STRONGLY
RECOMMEND IT IS ERECTED BY A MINIMUM OF TWO ADULTS.
1: REMOVE THE CONTENTS OF THE CARRY BAG AND IDENTIFY ALL THE COMPONENT

FIBERGLASS POLES, ALUMINIUM POLES AND STEEL CANOPY POLES.
ASSEMBLE ALL THE POLES AND LAY OUT ON THE GROUND WHERE THEY ARE EASILY
ACCESSIBLE.
ALL POLES WITH THE EXCEPTION OF THE CANOPY POLES WILL BE MARKED WITH A
COLOURED STICKER, THIS WILL CORRESPOND TO A COLOURED TRIM ON THE EDGE OF
THE SLEEVE THAT THE POLE IS INTENDED TO FIT THROUGH.
4: UNFOLD THE FLYSHEET AND SPREAD OUT ON THE FLOOR SO YOU ARE ABLE TO SEE
ALL THE SLEEVE SECTIONS OF THE ROOF.
CHECK THE COLOUR OF THE POLE SLEEVE TRIM ON THE SLEEVES THAT CROSS THE
CENTRAL MAIN DOME .
TAKING ONE OF THE THREE RELEVANT MAIN DOME POLES THREAD THE POLE
THROUGH THE SLEEVE SECTIONS IN A DIAGONAL FASHION SO THERE IS AN EQUAL
LENGTH OF POLE PROTRUDING FROM EITHER SIDE OF THE SLEEVE ENDS.
ONCE THE CENTRAL MAIN DOME POLES ARE THREADED INTO PLACE CHOOSE ONE
END OF ONE OF THE THREE MAIN CENTRAL DOME POLES AND ENGAGE THE END
FERRULE INTO THE POLE RETAINING FIXTURE. THIS WILL BE LOCATED AT THE BASE
OF THE FLYSHEET, NEAR TO THE SEAM RUNNING DOWN FROM THE SLEEVE, IN WHICH
