  • Page 9: Installation Procedure

    Installation Procedure: Step 1: Layout and mark the terminating points for the legs, center poles and anchoring. Anchoring points shall be placed at a distance equal to twelve (12”) inches less than the leg height and in line of pull that falls directly in line with the corresponding center pole and corresponding leg.
  • Page 10 Step 4: Hold the Center Pole ring in place and move the squaring jig so that the Side Pole Marker 3 ring is positioned over the mark at SP-B. With the Center Pole Ring and Side Pole Marker 3 ring fi rmly secured, pull on the Side Pole Marker 2 ring to triangulate the next side pole position.
  • Page 11 Step 7: When opening the sections, make sure the lace line tags match up Q to Q or K to K. Step 8: With tent top on ground cover, attach the hook at the side pole and pull the center pole rings together. All work should be done from between the sections and not on top of them to avoid damage to the top.
  • Page 12 Step 10: Attach the Tidewater Flag. Unwrap the fl ag from the pole. Step 11: Insert the fi rst lace up through the fi rst grommet. On the twin pole tents, the center section laces from one pole to the other one.

  • Page 16 Step 22: Continue installing the side poles around the rest of the tent, using the second Tidewater Install Strap on opposite end of the tent if necessary. Step 23: Assemble and erect the center pole(s). From underneath the tent insert the tip (pin) of the centerpole through the ring at the peak and push the fabric toward the sky until the centerpole is vertical and the bottom of the pole is positioned on the mark made in Step 4.
  • Page 17 Step 25: Tie off the jumper ropes. Connected to each reinforcement fi tting at the leg pole position and peak positions is a 1/4” Polypropylene rope that should be tied to the poles to prevent the top from lifting off the poles during windy conditions. Note: This may need to be done in Step 22 if the wind threathens to lift the top off the side poles before the center poles are installed.
