SECTION 2 TENT ASSEMBLY PROCEDURE PREPARATION OF THE GROUND AND ASSEMBLY OF THE LEVELLING FLOOR A - Identify the area where to erect the tent so as to optimize positioning of the floor. Make sure that there are no depressions on the ground. A space of approximately 28' x 43' is required for erecting a “4 arch” tent, including extended entrance module, sunshade and guy lines. - Page 8 ILLUSTRATED PROCEDURE FOR SHELTER DEPLOYMENT...

INNER INSULATING LINER ASSEMBLY AND DISASSEMBLY Part Component Q.ty x tent Front insulation liner Central insulation liner Rear insulation liner Modules joint Figure 2.9 - Insulation liner diagram. NOTE: THE FOLLOWING INSTRUCTIONS ARE VALID IN CASE OF THE LINER IS NOT ALREADY PRE-INSTALLED ON THE TENT. IN THIS CASE ASSEMBLY THE INNER INSULATING LINER ONCE TENT IS INFLATED BUT BEFORE INSTALLING SPACER RODS (purlins). A - Install the front section by connecting the frogs of the liner to the studs of the arch structure (fig. 2.10 step 1); B - Install the internal section as described above, joint the front and central sections by means of the Velcro tape (fig. - Page 15 Figure 2.10 - Assembly sequence of inner insulating liner for TAG NG 4 arches tent.

SUNSHADE ASSEMBLY AND DISASSEMBLY NOTE: ASSEMBLY THE SUNSHADE BEFORE INFLATING THE TENT. A - After fully unfolding the tent, arrange the pneumatic spacers in the specific engagements on the tent at the slope. The spacers are connected to the eyelets on the tent by means of wing bolts using the system show in figure 5.2. B - Inflate the pneumatic spacers to working pressure. -

Page 20: Air Ventilation Tube
AIR VENTILATION TUBE The tent is provided with an internal tube made of fireproof material arranged on the roof for uniformly distributing air from the A/C system. The tube consists of two parts: - a straight tubular pipe with a closed end provided with two side mesh bands from which air from the A/C system is issued. The width of the side bands increases towards the closed end;... -
Page 21: Entrance Module
ENTRANCE MODULE A - The first step in erecting the entrance module is to insert all the eyes on the water guard edge over the stays. B - Identify the stay at the apex of the module and fix it to the apex of the door edge by passing the fixing line through it. C - Next insert the stays for the module into respective eyes in the door edge and thread the line through until you reach the bases. -
Page 22: Connecting Corridor
CONNECTING CORRIDOR Tents can be connected both end-to-end and side-to-end. These connections are formed using special corridors. To assemble these corridors we recommend proceeding as follows: A - Pass all the eyes in the water guard edge over the stays. B - Identify the stay at the apex of the corridor and fix it to the apex of the door edge by passing the fixing line through it. C - Next insert the stays for the module into respective eyes in the door edge and thread the line through until you reach the bases. -

Page 24: 2.10 Use Configurations Of The Windows
2.10 USE CONFIGURATIONS OF THE WINDOWS The tent is provided with six windows, three on each side. Each window consists of an opening with six holes protected by a fly screen, a clear panel and a curtain. The fly screen, the transparent panel and the curtain may be kept taut and fastened with Velcro strips and reinforced eyelets/loops on the edge of the window and alternatively may be rolled up (either separately or together) and held by means of button cords welded to the outside of the liner. -
Page 25: Section 3 - Disassembly And Folding Of The Tent
SECTION 3 DISASSEMBLY AND FOLDING OF THE TENT DEFLATING THE TENT The tent is obviously disassembled by reversing the assembly operation. A - Firstly disassemble the internal accessories (dust mat, electric system). The insulation liners and the air distribution system can remain fitted inside the tent. Then clean the bottom of the tent. B - Remove the sunshade as shown in paragraph 2.3 and put it back in its bag after folding it properly. -
Page 26: Folding The Tent
FOLDING THE TENT NOTE: TWO PEOPLE ARE REQUIRED FOR THIS OPERATION. O - After deflating the tubes, close the inflation valves and the protective flaps. The pressure relief valves must stay open. P - When deflating the arches, make sure that the arches at the end of the deflating procedure assume the longitudinal position shown in figure 3.3. -

W - Spread the bag by the side of the tent and roll up the package previously compacted using a belt in the middle of the bag (fig. -
Page 28: Section 4 - Inspections And Overhauls
SECTION 4 INSPECTIONS AND OVERHAULS FOREWORD An inspection is an operation consisting in verifying the presence of all the accessories and the correct packaging in the corresponding bags. It also includes visually checking the integrity of the material. An overhaul is an operation consisting in verifying the actual functionality of the material and repairing any damage. The tent and the corresponding accessories must be inspect and/or overhauled by the scheduled terms shown below: - INSPECTION PRIOR TO DELIVERY To be performed on the premises of the... - Page 29 D - Test arch integrity as follows: - Take the arch to working pressure (4.35 psi). - Check and restore initial pressure if required after one hour. - After four hours, check that the pressure has not dropped to less than 4.06 psi. Otherwise, proceed as shown in step 4.2.
