Top Pole (optional)
Inserting
the Pole
Attach that the top pole strap (provided
with the outer tent) to the webbing at
each end of the top pole sleeve. It goes
between the inner and outer tent.
Make all the straps as long
(loose) as possible.
Assemble the top pole (203 cm) and gently
push it through the sleeve, wiggling the
pole if it stops as it crosses another pole.
Insert the pole tips into the
eyelets at each end.
Tensioning
the Top of
the Tent
Use the tension buckles attached to
the top pole strap to pull the pole
into the correct curved shape.
Use the tension buckle attached to
the tent to put a
small amount
of
tension on the roof of the outer tent,
between the ends of the top pole.
Adjusting Tent Tension
Nylon tent fabric expands when
wet, and shrinks again as it dries.
When a dry tent is getting damp from rain
or dew, tighten the adjusters where shown.
When a wet tent is drying, loosen
the adjusters where shown
Repairing a Damaged Tent Pole
To make a temporary repair to a
pole, use a pole repair sleeve
Remove the pole from the tent
Slide the sleeve over the break, and
fix in place using adhesive tape
Replace damaged pole sections after trip
