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. 1. Unroll and unfold the tent and lay it on the ground. In windy conditions, stake down one front corner into wind. See fig.1. 3. Fit the ring/pins into the poles: There are webs sewn to each corner of the tent. Start at either end and insert the pins into the bottom of the poles at that end. Repeat at the opposite end. See fig. 4. 4. Raise the frame: Start at either end and insert the ridge pole into a hub. Walk to the opposite end and grasp both the ridge pole and the second hub. Push/curve the poles until the ridge pole fits securely into the second hub. See fig. 5. Fit both of the ridge pole extensions into the center of the hubs. See fig.6 Reach under the fly and wrap each Velcro® strap around the pole. See fig.11. At each corner, attach the web buckles, from the fly, to their mates on the tent web. Pull the web to adjust tension as needed. See fig.12. Your tent is ready! 7. Stake the tent down: The tent is now freestanding. Move it to your desired location. Stake it down through the web loops. Stake opposite corners while applying tension to smooth the floor wrinkles and square the tent. See fig.9. 6. Install the spreader pole: Lay the pole across the top, over and perpendicular to the ridge pole. There are two pockets sewn to the top of the tent body. One of the pockets has a Velcro® closure and the other is plain. It is easier if you slide the pole into the plain pocket first and then capture the other end with the Velcro® See fig. 8 & 9. 2. Join the frame sections on the ground: Fit each pole to its mate or hub. The sections are shockcorded. Try to keep the poles from snapping together, as this can damage the ends. It is important to make sure that each section has firmly seated into the hub. Improperly fit poles may cause the hub to break. Set the “A” frames over the tent so that the poles align to the tent corner webs. See fig. 2 & 3. 5. Attach the tent body to the frame: There are two types of connectors sewn to the tent body. For the first, hang the two end shockcords onto the stand-offs on the hubs. See fig. 6 Then, work your way down and across the frame, attaching the pole clips as you go. See fig. 7. 8. Attach the fly to the tent: Drape the fly over the top of the tent. It only fits one way. Align the yellow web buckle from the fly to it’s mate on the yellow web at the front corner of the tent. Pull the fabric out and over the hubs and out and over the spreader. See fig 10. fig.13 9. Stake out the vestibule: At the front of the tent, pull the stake out loops on the vestibule taut and stake them down. See fig.13. Take down: Pull up stakes and open the door. Remove the fly. Un-clip the tent from the poles. Pull poles out off the pins, collapse the poles and stow in the bag. Fold the tent and fly. Lay the fly on the folded tent along with the bag of poles. Roll up all and stow in the carry bag. Optional: Add durability and versatility to your tent with our “Lite-Set” Footprint. It’s made of the same fabric as the tent's floor: complete with web loops, grommets, and side release buckles. The Footprint, in combination with the fly and poles creates a lightweight, compact basic shelter. This option reduces the carry weight by more than 25%. 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 the door zippers can not be easily operated. Drive stakes through the web loops, or with ring & pin, drive the stake just outside the ring so that the “J” hook catches it. Tie a piece of cord or web into a loop through the ring to be used as a large stake loop if needed. • With the tent p...
