INSTALLING THE HIP END PANEL

To install the hip end fabric panel, first install the Fabric guide

bracket on one side of the hip end cross beam, with the

wheeled guide facing toward the end of the unit (fig. 37).

From side to side, throw the snap end of one pull rope up and

over the hip end top framing so that the snap hangs near the

Fabric Guide Bracket.

If possible, position the Guide Bracket and the hip end fabric

bundle on the downwind side so that the direction of pull will be

into the wind. This way the breeze can help lift the fabric over

the hip end frame members.

Snap the pull rope to the pull web loop at the end of the kedar

strip on the hip end fabric panel (see diagram at bottom of this

page.)

This rope will be pulled in line with the cross beam,

from the opposite side of the tent (fig. 38).

Snap a second pull rope to the tension ring at the corner of the

fabric panel. This rope will help guide the fabric and prevent it

from riding up the hips and rafters as the panel is pulled across

the frame (fig.38).

Insert the leading edge of the kedar between the guide wheels

and pull the panel up and over.

When the leading edge of the kedar reaches the eave weld-

ment on the opposite side, pull the corners of the fabric down

over the eye on the out side of the Corner Weldment, and

install or re-install the guy webs at both corners to protect the

tent from the wind load the hip panel will now exert on the

frame (fig.39 & 40).
