2. SETTING UP THE SHELTER
This manual has been prepared to assist you in understanding the correct procedures for set-up and take-down of the
shelter.
2.1 Deployment Procedure
The set-up and take-down procedures are the same for either the XB or S shelter. THESE PROCEDURES MUST BE
FOLLOWED TO ENSURE PROPER DEPLOYMENT AND TAKE-DOWN OF THE SHELTER
. Failure to follow these
simple procedures may hinder optimum performance or result in damages to the shelter.
2.1.1 Carrying and Positioning the Shelter
This step requires (minimum) two to four people to lift and move the shelter package to a cleared area for
deployment. From the people designated to deploy the shelter, assign one person as Team Leader. This is
important since all movement in set-up and striking procedures require a smooth and uniform effort.
CAUTION
1. Locate a cleared area and ensure there is enough space for set-up.
2. Place containment berm in center of cleared area and unfold.
3. Place the shelter in the center of the containment berm with the shelter standing on end with opening facing up.
4. Open the transport bag; remove the field repair kit, push poles, and shelter.
5. Remove the Shelter cinch straps; place the cinch straps and repair kit back into the transport bag to prevent loss.
2.1.2 Exterior Lifting Hubs & Positioning of People
DO NOT GRAB THE MIDDLE OF THE STRUT
NOTE
1. To spread the shelter, follow the step that is associated with the model type:
a) Individual Shelter: Requires a minimum of two people for set-up and striking.
b) XB / S MODELS 2, & 3: (Minimum 4 people) Position one person at each narrow end wall. Center one person
on each of the longer sides.
c) XB / S MODELS 4, 5, & 6: (4 to 6 people required).Position two people per long wall at each hub point next
to the end of the wall. This will help properly distribute the load.
Figure 2-1. Positioning of Lifting Personnel
2. Depending on model, locate four outer hubs; these are the hubs with the coated steel wire looped keepers, to
determine the long sides of the shelter. The “lifting” hubs and the top part of the struts are the only places from which
the shelter should be lifted.
