[brianradomski]

Hello  again  and  thank  you  for  your  time.  i  had  a  day  off  last  week  and  fortunatley  I  recalled  to  phone  up  to  Michigan  to  palomino  corp.  to order   a  replacement  owner's  manual  for  my  MXL.
        "She"  told  me  it  didnt  have  to  be  a  copy  of  an  old  manual  from 1982  they  are  all  still  bout  the  same.  
      Sir  if  you  still  have  (an original) owner's  manual  for  your  "pal"  does  the  manual  have  step  by  step  on  how  to  open  the  rig  useing  those  poles  and  springs?  Are  there  photos  or  diagrams?? THANK  YOU!!

Yes, it does have a step by step of setting up the hardsides, unfortunately, no pics.
 
 #1-Lower the stabilizer jacks.
 #2-Release the 4 corner latches
 #3-Grasp raisor arm(on door side front) with one hand below the knuckle and one hand above.
 #4-Pull on arm with lower hand, therefore raising roof and sidewalls.
 #5-After the sides come up, place the lift arm in it's support, and slide sleeve over the right front knuckle.
 #6-Pull all folding wall sections outward, past center, until they snap into side supports.
 #7-Then clip screen door into place, and slide clip over thermostat board to latch opposite side.
 #8-Next, pull out beds by grasping pull straps until beds hit the stop.
 #9-Fit the support poles into holes in frame, and sockets on underside of the bunks.
 #10-Then position the inside bed end tent bows.
 #11-Attach the 2 bungees under each bunk-one should go above the support arms, and the other below the arms.
 #12-Attach the Velcro and side snaps to seal the canvas to the folding walls.
 
 To lower-Reverse above process.
 
 On the older rigs, it helps to lube the grey slider sleeve with WD-40. Also, things will go smoother if you position one person on the door side front, and another at the opposite rear, and both pull on the lift arms AND walls at the same time. Make sure the lift arms are clipped by the support arm brackets, or the walls may cave in. Also, with the older models, canvas shrinkage may be a problem. So when you set the inside bunk bed bows(These determine you interior bunk height), allow a little looseness, and try not to stretch the canvas too much.
