ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS

THIS RECREATIONAL PRODUCT REQUIRES TWO PEOPLE TO ASSEMBLE.

*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 length; refer to parts list descriptions.

*Do not drop tent bag or pole bag. Do not bounce tent bag on its end to remove tent, as these actions may damage the shock-cord and/or pole ends.

STEP 1: Verify Package Contents

Verify package contents by emptying contents of bag(s) and confirming all parts are included and

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

STEP 2: Set Up the Tent

A)Select a smooth level site and spread out your tent.

B)Extend the tent poles and place

in position ready for installation. Push each of the three tent poles through pole sleeves, orange pole will go to the orange pole sleeve.

C)After sliding poles through sleeves, gently flex poles into an arch and insert ends onto pin-rings at tent base.

D)Snap Quick Clips (attached to tent body) onto tent poles to shape tent.

STEP 3: Attach the Rainfly

A)Extend rainfly pole and place in position ready for installation.

C)Align rainfly front to front of tent and drape rainfly over tent.

D)Attach the s-hooks to the pin-ring at the tent base.

Step 4: Stake Tent

Step 5: Adding Accessories The gear loft is for extra storage of light weight items (i.e.maps, eye glasses). Attach its s-hooks to the fabric loops inside tent ceiling.

Should I use a seam sealer?

We highly recommend seam sealing your

tent seams. Use a seam sealer compound (tube or bottle type) that applies directly to the stitching for best coverage. Make sure compound is completely dry before rolling up your tent. Follow the manufacturer’s directions.
