Don't be concerned with this. Because of the TM's mechanical complexity, there are many things that must be done in a specific order to set it up or lower it. Most new owners go through a period of doing things in the wrong order, then backing up, correcting, and proceeding. Many actually make an ordered list. After a while, it all becomes second nature, but in the meantime, I always tell folks that the cardinal rule of TMs is "Never force anything that doesn't want to go".

And the thick binder with the owners manual
The TM factory actually includes a thick binder of materials and manuals with every TM they make. I always considered it a great thing to have.

As for the roof curve? You'll have to decide about that yourself.
