• Inhalation of fumes may result in carbon monoxide poisoning, injury, or death.

This product is water repellent:
However, during heavy rain, some leakage may occur. Keep objects from touching the inside, as objects may cause leakage at the point of contact.

To prevent seam leakage:
A seam sealer compound must be applied to the seams, especially floor seams. Use recommended water repellent compounds on our product. Read the label on any product before using.

Our recreational products are not made for extreme weather, climates, or environments:
Modification, abuse, and extreme weather are conditions that may adversely affect the structural integrity of the tent.

Tips for Inclement or Unexpected Weather Conditions

• Use guy lines to help secure your structure during periods of heavy winds.
• Storms or steady rains may cause water to collect on the roof and canopy. This can weaken the overall structure and cause the tent to collapse. Maintain a watchful eye and remove any water accumulation that may occur.
• Excessive water build-up can cause the frame system to become unstable and collapse, causing injury. All personal belongings should be taken away before the onset of inclement weather such as heavy rain, wind, lightning, hail, snow, etc. The product should be completely dismantled to avoid permanent damage to product components and any possibility of personal injury.

PARTS LIST

ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS

THIS RECREATIONAL PRODUCT REQUIRES TWO ADULTS TO ASSEMBLE.

• Make sure ground surface is free from debris,i.e., rocks that could damage flooring.
• Unless otherwise specified, all instructions will be given assuming the assembler is facing the front opening of the tent.
• Carefully fold out your poles, using caution to prevent snapping the shock-cording. Make sure each pole segment is “seated” into the next section before flexing the pole during set-up. Sort poles by type and color; refer to parts list descriptions.

Tip: Do this at home before you leave for your trip.

• STEP 1: Verify Package Contents

1. Verify package contents listed on Page 4 by emptying the contents of the bag(s) and confirming all parts are included and undamaged.
2. Remove the tent and poles from the carry bag. Extend all poles and sort them into groups based on color (gray/blue) and by pole type (steel leg poles, door poles).

• STEP 2: Install the Tent Poles

1. Select a smooth, level site and spread out the tent body (Part B). Place the tent body in the correct orientation on the campsite. Take the center fiberglass roof pole-blue (Part C) and slide it into its roof sleeves of the corresponding color-blue. Finish securing by inserting the pole into the ribbed side of the corner elbow connector.
2. Take a fiberglass roof pole-gray (Part D) and slide it into its sleeves of the corresponding color-gray. Insert one end of the pole into the ribbed side of the elbow connector at the corners. Gently flex the pole to secure the other side. The poles will cross at the center.
3. Distinguish between the middle and corner leg poles(Part E/F). Slide one end of a steel leg pole into the smooth end of elbow connector, then secure the other end onto the pin-rings at base of tent.

• STEP 3:

1. Attach all G hooks to the leg poles to secure and shape the tent.
2. Attach the included mud mat (Part M) to the tent with the toggles. Stake the mud mat if needed.
3. Make sure the base of the tent is fully spread out, pull the floor tight, and stake out the tent.

• STEP 4: Attach the rainfly

1. Drape the rainfly (Part A) over the tent. Attach rainfly to poles by pulling the S-hook down to the D-ring at the base of the tent.
2. Fasten the nylon hook & loop fastener strips located on the inside of the rainfly onto corresponding tent poles.
3. Stake out guy ropes (Part L) away from the tent with ropes at roughly a 45° angle to the ground. Adjust using the plastic sliders.

• STEP 5: Attach the canopy

1. Put the three-door poles into the O-ring at the front end of the canopy, and adjust the angle of the poles. The long door pole (Part G) is in the middle and the short (Part H) ones are on the sides.
2. Put the guy rope on the top of the pole, tighten the rope and secure it with steel stakes.

• STEP 6: Add Accessories

1. Attach the divided curtain (Part I) by pushing the toggle through the fabric loops sewn on the inside tent.
2. Attach the Gear loft (Part P) by using the plastic S hooks to hook into the fabric loops sewn on the inside of the tent.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE

• This product must be stored dry. One of the easiest ways to damage your product is storing it while it is wet. Storing a wet tent as briefly as 24 hours in warm weather is likely to cause mildew on the fabric coatings.
• If you must close camp in the rain, open your product and set it up to allow it to dry as soon as possible. Allow dirt to dry on the fabric after a rainfall before lightly sweeping it off with a brush. For tougher stains, spray the area with water and lightly wipe it off with a few strokes. Do not use washer or dryer. DO NOT SCRUB THE FABRIC. ALWAYS MAKE SURE TENT IS COMPLETELY DRY BEFORE REPACKING.
• Do not leave your tent set up for weeks at a time. Exposure to ultraviolet rays from the sun can damage and/or discolor the material.
• Clean the poles with a cloth and lubricate them with a silicone spray to help prevent corrosion 13 and keep from becoming gritty. This is especially important after using the tent around salt water.
• Store the stakes in a separate storage bag. Do not pack the stakes inside the tent.

IMPORTANT NOTES BEFORE YOU BEGIN

• Assemble your tent before camping to become familiar with the assembly.
• Setup is possible for one person, however two people are recommended.
• Select a clean, level area for the campsite free of debris and sharp objects, and away from a natural watercourse.
• Use of a ground cloth is recommended to prolong the life of the tent floor and provide additional insulation and moisture protection.
• To prevent damage to the zippers, unzip the doors and windows of the tent prior to disassembly, allowing air to move freely.
• Seam sealing the inside stitched seams of the tent is recommended. This will improve weather resistance. Discoloration may occur if applied to outside seams. (Seam sealer not included).
