Lean the two remaining Canopy Hoop Poles against the first. 8 - S tep Eig h t -- S tep Eig h t - Drape the Tent over the supported hoops then go inside and spread out the Canopy Hoop Poles, attaching the Roof Velcro as you go. Orient the Porch Hoop Pole so that the holes face upward and then feed the length of the pole through the three Porch Hoop Sleeves sewn on the Tent. Slide the Porch Hoop Pole onto the Porch Poles, engaging the third hole position. Attach the Porch Hoop Velcro on each side of the Tent. Remove the Rear Adjustable Spreader Poles now supporting the hoops to allow the tent to be “set” in the next step. 9 - Step Ni ne -- Step Ni ne - To “set” the tent, grasp the tent material at the rear of the shelter and pull it downward. Observe the porch area of the tent lifting accordingly as you pull. When the U-Channel Molding is correctly installed, the Porch Hoop Pole will lightly touch the floor/ice. To achieve this condition, start by finding the center of the Molding. From behind the unit, pull the midpoint of the Tent downward and fold the Tent material under the lip of the Base. Then press the midpoint of the molding over the Tent material and Base lip. Continue pressing outward in both directions until you have secured about twelve inches of material to the base Having temporarily secured the tent to the base, take a walk around the unit. Readjust the Molding until you have verified the proper Porch Hoop Pole position and also that the Tent sides and corners are properly proportioned. When satisfied, continue applying the Molding around the shelter, one direction from center and then the other, pulling the material as you go so that surface is relatively wrinkle-free and snug. You may need to trim the Molding ends if they are not equal. Install the Front, Rear, and Roof Spreader Poles as indicated. Adjust the Front and Rear Spreader Poles to snug the fit of the tent. If everything still looks good, secure the Molding with the included #6 Phillips Screws. Evenly space them about every ten to twelve inches, and also put a screw in the center of both corners. Since there aren’t any predrilled holes, it's advisable to use a powered driver for this operation. 10 - Step Te n - Angle the Seat Assembly slightly while placing the bottom lip of the Front Seat Bracket under the outside edge of the Base lip.
