Start at one end and drag the fly up and over the top of the tent. It only fits one way. Align the front door of the fly to the front entrance of the screen room. See fig.7. Secure the y to the frame: • Reach under the fly and wrap the Velcro® straps through the openings in the sleeves and around the poles to secure the fly to the tent frame. See fig. 8. • Also attach the wide Velcro® straps to the patches on the sleeves at each corner elbow. See fig. 9 • Locate the long adjustable web/buckle assemblies on the underside at each corner of the fly. Attach these buckles to their mates on the corner stake-out webs and adjust to proper tension. See fig. 10. • There are also, web/ring assemblies on the bottom at each corner of the fly. Pull these out and away from the tent and use skewers to stake down. Adjust as necessary. See fig.11. • Grasp the web/rings on the door, pull these out and away from the tent. Stake down and adjust the tension. Repeat at the rear of the tent with the vestibule. See fig.12 NOTE: In strong winds, tie extra cords ( included ) to the storm rings on the y and stake down. Adjust the slider so that the cords are tight. See g.13. NOTE: This is a large family style tent and we recommend that you have two people for setup. Do not drop tent bag or pole bag on its end. Do not bounce tent bag on its end to get the tent out. These actions may cut the shock cord and/or damage the pole ends. Rev B 4.09 Raise the tent: • Unroll and unfold the tent and lay it on the ground. If it’s windy, stake down one front corner into wind. • Lay the poles side by side and divide according to length. 2 long [11 section] for the tent and 1 short [9 section] for the screen hoop. • Assemble the shock corded poles as you work. Try to keep the pole sections from snapping together, as this can damage the ends. Make certain each plain end has been properly seated into its metal ferrule. Slide one long pole through each tent sleeve. The poles run from corner to corner, cross at the center through the sleeves. The gray pole fits to gray web. See fig 1 & 2 fig.4 fig.7 fig.10 fig.13 fig.11 fig.12 fig.14 fig.8 fig.9 fig.5 fig.6 fig.2 fig.1 Stake it down: • The tent is now freestanding. Place it in the desired location and use the yellow stakes to stake it down through the corner web loops. Stake diagonally opposite corners while applying tension to square the tent and smooth any floor wrinkles. Pull out the web loops from the screen room, use the skewers and stake them down. It works best to do this before you add the fly. See fig.6. • Insert the post end of a pole into the web grommet. • At the opposite end, with the pole in one hand and the web in the other, feed the pole up, bending it evenly along its length to create an arc. Make sure the ferrules do not get caught on the sleeves. Place the post end into this grommet to maintain tension. Repeat with the other tent pole. See fig. 3. • Assemble and slide the screen room hoop over the tent poles and through the front sleeve. Fit the post into the outside grommet on same front webs as the tent poles. See fig. 4. • Attach all the pole clips to the hoop. See fig. 5. fig.3 Feature: The Grand Manan provides exceptional air flow. Detach the web rings from the stakes. Roll up the fly sides for 4-way ventilation. Secure in place with the attached loops and toggles. See fig. 14. Take down: Pull up stakes and open doors. Remove the fly. Push poles out of the sleeves. Collapse all poles and stow in the pole bag. Fold the tent/fly. Roll up both along with the pole bag towards a door. Stow all in the main bag. YOUR TENT IS READY! Good: 4 stakes /4 lines Best: 4 stakes /8 lines REV E. FEB 09 SEAM SEALING: We recommend use of a sealer such as Kenyon Seam Sealer 3 or McNett Outdoor SeamGrip®. • Work in a fully ventilated area. • Set the tent up or lay the tent out flat. Taut seams allow for even application and penetration of the sealer. • Decide which seams need to be sealed. For example, seams that will be exposed to rain, runoff, or ground level water are a must for sealing, while seams on uncoated nylon or mesh panels don’t need treatment. There is no need to seal the seams in the roof or the factory taped seams. We recommend sealing both floor and fly seams and reinforcements. • Apply sealant to the inside and outside of all exposed seams. Several thin layers will work better than one thick layer. Read and follow manufacture's instructions. STAKING: All tents need to be staked down to keep them from blowing away. Securing the tent by placing heavy objects inside is just not adequate. • Once the tent body is erected, stake it out before the fly is put on. This enables you to square the tent up to ensure that the fly goes on properly and that the seams align with the frame. Pull the base of the tent taut between each web stake out loop or ring & pin. Make sure that all corners are square. It is important that you don’t stake the tent out too tightly. You will know it’s too tight, if th...
