ASSEMBLY AND INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS - Cont’d
NOTE
For ease of assembly, the fabric wall sections may be attached before
fully extending the height of the frame. This is recommended if the fully
extended height of 7’ makes attaching the walls difficult. Determine the
best height for securing the walls and adjust the frame legs accordingly.
(1)
Loosen all roof cap tent lines (1).
(2)
Choose one of the sides with three legs.
(3)
Place one person at each corner.
(4)
Lift the frame straight up off the ground and pull the locking pin (2) on the base of the upper leg assemblies
(3). Raise the upper leg assemblies (3) and rotate feet on lower leg assemblies (4) so that hole for metal tent
pin faces outside of tent and the lower leg assemblies (4) lock in place. (Intermediate holes are provided for
final height adjustments). Four holes should show in the lower leg assemblies. Ensure center leg assembly
(5) is also locked.
(5)
Tighten roof cap tent lines on the side just extended.
(6)
Repeat steps 3 through 5 on the opposite side.
(7)
Stake the frame feet down with the metal tent pins and adjust tent lines as required.
h.
Fabric wall assemblies installation. You are now ready to attach the fabric wall assemblies of the MCPS. All tent
fabric wall assemblies are interchangeable and will attach to any of the four sides of the roof cap. Decide which walls to
use as follows:
(1)
Use the entrance way wall assembly on the side of the tent which is to be a personnel entry and exit.
(2)
Use the plain wall assembly or window wall assemblies on any side that is not an entrance way. Window wall
assemblies should be placed on the side farthest from the stove pipe opening.
