APENLITE 2 XT

Component List:
1	Tent Body,	1	Tent Fly,	2	Front Poles,	2	Rear Poles ,
1	Spanner,	1	Center Hoop,	2	Junction Tubes,	1	Carry Bag,
1	Pole Bag,	1	Stake Bag w/ Stakes

NOTE: 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.

Assembly:

•Unroll and unfold the tent with the floor on the ground. Remove the fly and set it aside. Do not stake the tent down yet. In windy conditions, we recommend that an end should face into the wind and that you stake down one corner of this end. See fig.1.

•Join the shockcorded poles together and separate according to size. Try to prevent pole sections from snapping together, as this can damage the pole ends. Make certain that each insert has seated firmly into each plain end.

Your tent is ready for use.

•The tent features a High/Low venting, side opening door that will increase the amount of air flow through the tent.

•In strong winds, tie extra lines to the storm loops on the fly and stake down. Adjust the sliders so that the lines are tight.

•Attach the junction tubes to the tents. Tie the included cord to the shockcord. Then, feed the other end through 1/8” hole in the tube and tie a knot. This will help prevent loss and make the tubes easier to find in the dark.
