ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS
FOR THE GRAND MANAN
TOUR TENT
Component List: 1 Tent, 2 Tent Poles, 1 Screen Hoop, 1 Carry Bag, 1 Pole Bag, 1 Stake Bag w/ Stakes and Guys, 1 Rain Fly
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.
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 longfig.1 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

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.

•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 thefig.3 other tent pole. See fig. 3.
