I believe I have the same Ridgeway tent - over 20 years old. Red-, Blue- and Green-labeled poles. Best setup will require at least 2 persons. Here is a quick guide to setup:
1. First, stake the tent floor down making sure it is taut.
2. Center poles are labeled with Blue dots. There are 3 separate poles that fit through the center channel - 1 straight pole with 'male' connectors on each end (this will be in the middle), and 2 poles with curved 'female' ends. The curved ends need to slip through the center loops (there's a 'hook' to hold the loop). The center upright poles consist of a bottom pole (which should have a cap on one end and an adjustable ring on the other) and a 2-piece snap pole (with grooves on one end). Make sure to slip the pole with the grooves through the adjust ring (this will allow adjusting the height of the center of the tent). There are also 2 strings at the center of the tent about a foot above the ground. Tie these strings around the upright center pole to ensure that the center upright pole doesn't separate too far from the tent.
3. Poles with Red dots are for the ends of the tent. There is a curved 2-piece snap pole that slips through the end channel. Then, you have a 3-piece straight snap pole that attaches to each side of the curved pole. The bottom end of the straight pole should be placed about a 1.5 feet from the bottom of the center pole (at about a 45-degree angle). The door ends are essentially 'leaning' outward from the center.
4. Poles with Green dots are for the extended door cover on the large door side. These are 2 snap poles with ends that fit through the grommet holes of the cover.

We don't use our tent very often, but my son just took it camping and it was a breeze to set up. If you still have the plastic stakes, I would recommend replacing those with metal stakes, as the plastic stakes break easily. Also, you may need to find a rain fly that fits the tent.
Here is a link to your products parts site. If you are unable to locate the part there, you can contact them directly by clicking calling 1-800-888-0127
First lay out all of the parts by number (little stickers on poles) or sizes if the stickers are gone.
Take
Take the 1's and 2's and connect them together creating one big pole that will act as one of the roof peak structures. If you have lost your numbers, these two poles should be the two middle sized poles (4 of each).
Then connect each end of #1 to the center peak piece
Once all four combined poles (1 and 2) are attached to the center piece, add the pole brace pieces to each end of the bottom or #2 Piece.
Once this is done, combine two number 3's with one 4 (the 4 being in the middle of the two with both silver metal fasteners on the #3 poles facing outwards)
Then connect each end of the combined poles to the end piece.
Now lay out the final set of poles (# 5 and 6), but only connect the #5 pole to the end piece first, all around the gazebo.
Okay, now we want to start adding the actual canopy. Start by pulling the corners down at each pole joint then velcroing the tarp underneath in the middle of the 3-4-3 combined pole.
Now it is safe to connect the next set of poles (#6) to the leg poles (#5). Make sure the end with the 3 drilled holes are closest to the ground. On each end of the tarp legs there is a silver hook. Hook this into the 1st hole in the pole for support.
Connect the foot cap to the end of each pole and then connect the plastic o ring to the connector on the foot piece and readjust the silver hook as needed to either hole 2 or 3 (see photos).
Then the final parts are easy, secure any velcro straps to the legs, then use the stakes to stake down the whole thing and you may use the secure ropes as needed though I tend two just put two stakes in each foot piece at different angles.
Congratulations !!!!! Your Summer Rite Gazebo is ready for festivities. Hope this helps !!!
Ok these are tricky, so what you need to do is check your poles and connectors. You should have long poles and assorted connectors.
A bit of mathematics and you'll have it done in no time.
Ok lay out the poles and sort into longs and shorts.
Sort the connectors into 2 pole connectors (straights) and 3 pole connectors (three way)
Now check the angles on the three way connectors, sort them into groups. some should be slightly angled, these are the roof connectors and the others ones are 90 degrees and or more squarish these are the floor corner connectors. There should be 4 floor corner connectors and There will be two connectors that fit onto the end of roof front and back of the tent.
Sort out your poles and work out how many you need for each dimention. Basically your tent is a cube with a triangular prism on the top so you will need enough poles of even length to make the base and top bit of the cube and then even lengths of poles to make the upright sides of your cube. There should also be 4 four way connectors for attaching the roof. the top of you cube is the base of the triangluar prism.
Hope this helps. TIP once you get this together, MARK the conections with NUMBERS EG: 2 / 2 / 2 one number on each bit (the connector and each pole that is attached to it), this way when you pull it apart you can reconnect it much easier later on.
YOU CAN DO THIS 2 WAYS IF YOU WANT TO USE SKIMMER THERE IS A PIECE THAT GOES INSIDE SKIMMER TO ATTACH YOR VAC HOSE TO HEAD O VAC FITS ON END OF POLE TWO PUSH PIN ATTACH HOSE TO VAC HEAD AND INTO SKIMMER IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO BYPASS HOOK VAC SAME WAY BUT DONT USE SKIMMER PUT HOSE OVER POOL AND DRAW WATER JUST ENOUGH TO CREATE A FLOW BY PUTTING THE END OF HOSE OUTSIDE POOL TO A WET VAC JUST LONG ENOUGH TO GET WATER FLOWING DONT KEEP IT CONECCTED LONGER THAN 20 TO 30 SECONDS GOOD LUCK
silly boy!
the element is probably ok as what you did will not damage it.
the green/yellow wire should go to the base plate and if there is no connector for it, just use one of the fixing bolts. the other two wires go to each end of the element
