4-12. Equipment Conversion.
a.
General. All tents may be converted for extreme heat or cold weather operation by the installation of liners. The
small tent may be further converted for cold weather operation by erection of a vestibule at the front door. Two
small tents may also be erected in tandem, when more floor space is required.
b.
Erection of Liner in Small Tent (figure 4-8). The small tent liner is erected inside small tent as follows:
(1)
Loosen all comer, intermediate, and door eave guy lines.
(2)
Spread liner on ground inside tent.
(3)
Lower peak of tent, remove center pole spindle (1) from ring (2) in peak and position it under liner (3) with
spindle of pole through hole in liner, then through supporting ring (2) in peak of tent.
(4)
Lift center pole enough to free liner for movement, line up door, stovepipe (4), and ventilator
(5)
openings of liner with similar openings in tent. Then tie tapes (6) of liner stovepipe shield
(7)
to corresponding tapes of tent body to keep openings in place.
(5)
Insert D-rings at peak of liner (8) into the appropriate snap hooks (9) near peak plate of tent.
(6)
Lift center pole to a vertical position, then tighten all comer, intermediate, and door eave guy lines (para.

(7)
Insert all metal toggles (10) inside tent through matching grommets in roof of liner. The toggle chapes will
allow approximately two inches between tent body liner, for insulation purposes; when adjusting straps
(11), hold liner high enough so that liner weight keeps toggle chapes at full length.
