should be driven at least 2 feet and not more
than 2½ feet into the ground. To locate posi-
tions for the ground anchors, measure out 6
feet from the bottom of the tent wall,
on both sides of the tent. Install anchors
on each side of the tent; one in line with the
guy line sleeve at each end arch, and one
at each intermediate arch.
b. Guy Assemblies.
(1) Working outside the tent, insert the
loop and toggle bar of the guy assembly
through the guy line sleeve (A, fig. 3-22).
(2) Working inside the tent, pass the
loop around the arch and over a purlin. Slip
the toggle bare through the loop to secure (B,
fig. 3-22) .
(3) Working outside the tent, attach the
8-hook of the guy assembly to the ground an-
chor loop, slide the adjusting beads up and
through the toggle assembly, and clamp the
toggle closed when sufficient tension is obtained
(c, fig. 3-22) .
Note. If additional holding strength is required,
additional anchors should be driven at some guy line
locations,
3-13. Installing Tent Liner
a. End Assembly A.
(1) Lay out end assembly A and one liner
intermediate section, arch pipes down, match-
ing the becket lacing of end assembly A with
the grommets of the intermediate section. This
procedure will determine the tent end to which
assembly A must be attached so that the liner
window will line up with the corresponding
window in the tent section.
(2) Release both doorpost top assemblies.
Pull the door control arm ropes to swing the
doorpost top assemblies and vehicle door out-
ward. Make certain that the door control arm
is engaged in the door control arm lock.
(3) Pass the rope attached to the ends of
the center arch pipe over the top of the center
short purlin of the tent frame, Pull the rope
to raise the liner assembly to the top of the
tent (fig. 3-23).
(4) Using a ladder or other suitable de-
vice, secure the center arch pipe to the short
purlin, using the S-hook and chain assemblies
