Step 3 - Installing Upright Tension Connector
Before installing uprights, upright tension connector must be attached to uprights. Remove existing bolt at bottom of upright and set aside. Remove bolt and cap nut from upright tension connector. Align holes in upright tension connector with holes at bottom of upright and attach with the bolt and cap nut that came with the connector. Connector must be positioned toward outside of frame because it is used for attachment of tension strap used for tensioning fabric to frame.

Step 3 - Tensioning Fabric
When all of the uprights are raised, attach the snap of the tension straps to the d-rings on the fabric at each upright.
At corners, run strap on left side of corner thru the left d-ring and then thru the right d-ring. Run strap on right side thru left d-ring only.
Snap tension strap thru both rings at bottoms of straps.
Insert the hook of the tension strap into the upright tension connector just above the base plate.
Starting with the corners, tight­en the tension strap using the ratchet. Do not over-tension as this may create unsightly wrinkles or puckering in your tent fabric.
Watch peak during tensioning to be sure it stays vertical.
Note: When tensioning tents with tension points at valley, tension those points last.
Continue as noted in the standard Fiesta instruc­tions.

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.
