ASSEMBLY AND PREPARATION FOR USE
Unpacking and Inspection
All MCPS components are packaged in reusable shipping crates. Unpack crates/transport bags and
visually inspect their contents. Make sure that everything is there, including end items and basic issue
items as listed in work package 0047. Also refer to work package 0010, PMCS, for inspection procedures.
Do not destroy shipping crates. Put the crates away for later use.
Partial Frame Setup
WARNING
When handling tent frame, do not grasp the frame near the frame joints. Failure to do so
can result in personnel injury to hands and fingers. Failure to follow tie down and staking
instructions may result in possible injury to personnel and damage to equipment.
Erecting the tent frame requires at least two persons. Failure to observe this safety
precaution may result in serious injury or death to personnel.
CAUTION
Do not stand or walk on tent frame assemblies. They can be damaged by misuse. When
handling tent frame do not twist or force the frame. Unfold frame sections on the ground.
Do not pick up the frame to unfold it, as this will cause binding of the fitting assemblies
and damage to the frame can result.
1. Unpack the three frame pieces. There are two identical end wall frame assemblies (Figure 2, Item 1)
and one center wall frame assembly (Figure 2, Item 2).
