PROCEDURE FOR ATTACHING AND DEPLOYING TENTING
The nylon tent pieces, the tent frames and the tent poles are
identified in Figure 4. To assemble the tenting refer to Figure
10 and proceed as follows:
Select a tent Top Piece, P/N AA4920-7016-30-1. Unfold
a.
and spread out, zipper side down. Observe the cording
along the edge which has two flaps attached to it.
Slide the cording on the edge into the three (3) piece
tent track along the outer edge of the Hinged Cover,
P/N AA4920-7016-3. Because of its bulk the cording
will hold the tenting securely in the track.
Slide the cording on the flaps into the tent track
b.
along the vertical corner post. See Figure 3.
At this stage the tenting hangs down, acting as a cover over
the shelter opening. If the tenting is to be fully deployed as
shown in Figure 2, throw the tent Top Piece, P/N AA4920-7016-
30-1, back onto the top of the shelter and proceed as follows:
Place the stud end of three (3) Tent Poles through the
c.
holes in the Tent Frame Pole Bar, P/N AA4920-7016-
While one man holds up the Tent Poles with the Tent

Frame Pole Bar, P/N AA4920-7016-36, on top: the
second man attaches the tent frame laterals beginning
