3. Install GenTent Frame
a. Orient the Center Connector with the
vent pin up and position the Center
Connector to match generator
alignment, short and long sides,
respectively. Unless you are installing in
parallel; see Page 18 “Installing the
GenTent with Parallel Units”.
b. Insert the first Frame Rod into the
Center Connector, ensuring it is seated
all the way into the Center Connector.
(Fig. 3.1) Always insert the Frame Rod into the Center Connector before
inserting it into the Extender Arms.
c. Insert the other end of the frame rod fully into the corresponding Extender
Arm hole at the pre-measured locations (Fig 3.2)
d. Install the Frame Rods into the Center Connector in a crisscross
pattern. Always be sure to grasp the free end of the frame rod
firmly. Then bend the free end towards the Extender Arm and
insert fully into the correct hole.
e. Repeat for remaining Frame Rods.
f. Check the Extender Arms; the Frame Rods should be fully seated into the
Frame Rod holes. (Fig. 3.2) The Extender Arms will exhibit a slight upward
lean; this is due to the force being applied to them by the fiberglass rods.
g.
If any Extender Arm assemblies
exhibit twisting, move the
Extender Arm one position in the
direction of the twist on the Angle
Brace, or alternatively move the
entire Angle Brace in the direction
of the twist until the Extender
Arms straighten out.

CAUTION
Always grasp frame rods & center connector firmly during installation to avoid the whipping
motion that can occur if a bent fiberglass rod is mistakenly released.
