Safety Notes
Please read through this assembly manual completely before beginning your installation. Be sure the proper equipment •
and safety precautions are in place. We hope that you enjoy the design features of the tent each time the unit is installed.
Consult your local • utility locator service or the National Utility Locating Contractors Association
(NULCA) prior to installation.
•
Prior to actual tent assembly, be sure to look up, down, above & below for obstacles, pipes, wires, •
trouble, etc.
Be alert to avoid contact of Tent poles with any overhead power lines near the site.•
Keep site clear of debris to avoid tripping, especially while carrying tent poles or bundle of fabric.•
When moving tent sections by hand, use proper lifting techniques to protect the back.•
The installation method described here requires coordination of tasks between workers. A safe installation is dependent •
on that coordination. Work cooperatively as a team.
Replace used or damaged components with original new ones.•
To prevent injuries, wear suitable protective clothing such as hard hats, steel toed shoes, etc.•
Do not drag bundle of fabric on concrete, asphalt, or ground as this can cause damage to the fabric from abrasion through •
the bag.
This tent is manufactured for use as a temporary structure. Evacuation is recommended if threatening or windy weather •
occurs. See caution on back page of this manual.

Start at downwind side. Insert each
side pole pin into side pole hole and
raise slightly less than perpendicular.
Bottom of each pole should be pointed
inward toward center of tent.
Wall ropes should run outside of corner
poles and side poles.
Tie jump rope around each side pole as
it is inserted in pole hole.
Continue around tent.

RAISE CENTER POLES
Slowly raise center poles nearest to wind direction to approximate position. One installer to
guide center pole pin through hole to prevent
snagging or tearing of fabric as pole is being
raised into position.
Keep pole at a slant until other pole at the same
lace is raised. Tie jump ropes as each center
poles is placed in approximate position. Adjust
bases of poles to exact location and align poles
vertically.
CAUTION: At this point, it is required
to properly anchor bases of all center poles to
prevent movement.
JUMP ROPE
WINCH FOR TENSION

Good Precautionary Measure: It is a
good idea to have a spotter on outside
of tent to watch that center pole top pin
does not get caught on fabric as it is
being raised.
JUMP ROPE
If the footprint of the tent has been laid out properly
and the tent placed squarely within that footprint,
the following tensioning sequence is recommended:
1. Tension webs at the lace lines first.
2. Tension webs at the corners.
3. Tension webs at the ends.
4. Tension webs at the middles last.
NOTE: If the tent is not square, or if center poles
lean when laces are tensioned, reverse steps “1”
and “2” above.
At each side pole, release winch tension and place
bottom of side pole at the marked footprint eave
line location.
Insert web guy into winch. Pull excess through
winch. Tension, using winch bar. DO NOT USE
EXTENDERS ON WINCH BAR TOOL.
Caution -- DO NOT OVER TENSION TENT
BEYOND EAVE LINE. DO NOT PULL SIDE
POLES OR CENTER POLES BEYOND
VERTICAL POSITION.
CAUTION:
KEEP TO SIDE OF WINCH
WHEN TENSIONING. DO
NOT EXTEND LENGTH

Anchor products are of superior design and operate best within the parameters of these instructions. It is imperative
that the instructions be carefully read and COMPLETELY FOLLOWED. Please read installation instructions before the
installation or removal of this product. Installation instructions are available online at www.anchorinc.com or by calling
1-800-544-4445.
CAUTION:
1. For each installation, the installer is solely responsible for evaluating the site and the proper securing method
determined. Some soils require different staking or securing than that provided with the tent. Due to this variety of
soil conditions, these are the manufacturer’s suggested sequence of installation procedures. Anchor’s responsibility
is limited to the manufacture of the tent parts and materials. We are not responsible for methods that installers may
choose to erect and secure the tent to the ground.
2. The number of stakes suggested in the installation instructions do not necessarily meet all or any relevant codes
on the site of the tent installation. The number of stakes suggested will, in many cases, keep the tent erected,
however, due to various soil conditions; these stakes will be insuf¿ cient to keep the tent secure in high winds.
It is the tent installer’s responsibility, not the manufacturer, to determine the appropriate number of stakes to meet
the necessary wind loads on the site. Regardless of the number of stakes we suggest, we make no representation
or warranty as to whether this speci¿ c number of stakes will meet the local tent code. Anchor does not, nor can
it make any suggestions, representation, or warranties about the adequate staking required at each speci¿ c
installation site. Staking information provided in the installation instructions is not a suggestion about what is
necessary to meet a site-speci¿ c load.
For additional important information, consult: “The IFAI Procedural Handbook For the Safe Installation and
Maintenance of Tentage” and the IFAI Pocket Guide “Pullout Capacity of Tent Stakes”, both available from
the IFAI Tent Rental Division or on our website.
3. Inasmuch as the weather is unpredictable, good judgment and common sense must be incorporated within
installation guidelines. It is the responsibility of the tent installer/maintainer to determine the severity of the weather,
proper time and method of installation and/or erection and disassembly. Note: We recommend that snow and
ice be removed from the tent surface as soon as possible because accumulation will damage the tent
or fabric structure. Please consult with our Engineering Department about the maximum loads for each
product.
This product has been manufactured for use as a temporary structure. For the safety of all occupants, evacuation
is recommended if threatening weather occurs, or if there is any doubt concerning the safe use of this product.
4. Proper safety equipment should be used at all times to insure a safe installation and take down. We suggest a
careful evaluation be made to determine safety equipment needed, such as hard hats, steel-toe shoes, safety
glasses and other as required. It is our desire that all installations are safe. Please be aware of hidden dangers
both underground, i.e., gas lines, water lines, electrical lines, etc. and above the tent such as power lines and
telephone lines.
5. Anchor stands behind its products in accordance with its standard Terms and Conditions of sale. A copy of our
Terms and Conditions of Sale can be obtained by contacting Anchor at the telephone number and/or address on
this document.
