INSTALLATION OF TENT COLLAR ASSEMBLY
The tent collar assembly (1) is provided to reduce the diameter of the shelter roof opening (2) so that the
stack assembly is held securely and the amount of open area around the stack where rain might enter is
held to a minimum.
The tent collar assembly (1) is supplied in two halves and secured by threaded studs (3) and wingnuts
(4). To install the tent collar (1), remove all four wingnuts (4) and set aside. Separate the two halves of the
tent collar.
Lift the bottom of the rain fly (5) and slide the portion of the tent collar with the exposed threaded studs (6)
under the rain fly (5) and into the shelter roof opening (2). Orient the tent collar so that the studs enter and
face the inside of the shelter. Allow the collar to rest in the opening.
Enter the inside of the tent and open the shelter liner flap (7) by separating the hook and pile fasteners
around the perimeter of the flap. Roll the liner flap up and secure with the two hook and pile fastener tabs
(8) at the top of the flap. Ensure that the liner flap is stowed securely so that it does not come in contact
with the stack assembly during heater operation.
Take the portion of the tent collar assembly with the holes (9) and align the threaded studs (3) on the half
installed earlier with the holes (9) on the second half.
Press the two halves of the tent collar assembly together and secure with the four wingnuts (4) removed
earlier.
