Timberline SQ XT Tents

Component List: 1 Tent Body, 1 Tent Fly, 6 Part	Frame Assembly, 1 Carry Bag,
1 Stake Bag with Stakes & Guy lines, 1	Pole Bag, 1 Pole Repair Splint

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.

1.Unroll and unfold the tent and lay it on the ground. In windy conditions, stake down one front corner into the wind.

See fig.1.

fig.1

2.Join the frame sections on the ground:

Fit each pole to its mate or hub. The sections

are shockcorded. 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 and the hub sleeve labeled EUREKA! is pointing toward tent center.

See fig. 2 & 3.

3.Fit the posts into the webs: There are grommeted webs sewn to each corner of the tent. Start at either end and working you way around the tent,

insert the posts into the grommets. See fig. 3 & 4. fig.4

4.Raise the frame: Start at either end and insert the ridge pole into the hub sleeve labeled EUREKA!. 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 & 6.

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. 7

6.Install the spreader pole: The spreader pole fits across the top, over and perpendicular to the ridge pole. There are two pockets sewn to the top of the

tent body. Fit the poles into these pockets. It is easier if you slide the pole

into a pocket first and thenfig.8 push it over to the other

side. See fig. 8.

Then, work your way down and across the frame, attaching the pole clips as you go. See fig.9.

7.Stake the tent down: The tent is now freestanding. Move it to your desired location. Use the yellow stakes to stake it

down through the corner web loops. Stake diagonally opposite corners

while applying tension to smooth the floor wrinkles and square the tent.

See fig.10.

8.Attach the fly to the tent: Drape the fly over the top of the tent. Pull the fabric out and over the hubs

and out and over the spreader.

The fly only fits one way. Align
the yellow web on the fly to
the yellow web on the tent.
See fig .11.

9. Attach the fly to the
spreader pole: Reach under	fig.12
the fly at the middle near the
roof. Locate the sewn on
pocket and slide it over the		fig.13
pocket end of the spreader
pole. Repeat at the other
end. See fig. 12.

10.Attach the extensions to the ridge pole hub: Fit one of the ridge extension poles into the hub and into the rod pocket at the edge of the fly. Grasp the top and pivot forward to seat. Repeat at other end

of the tent. See fig. 13.

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.14.

12.Stake down the fly: Use the silver skewers to stake through

the web loops on the vestibule/door. At each side of the fly, tie fig.14

guy out lines to the two rings and stake these down also. Important: Use the slider to adjust tension.

For proper ventilation, the fly must not lay against the tent.

See fig.15 & 16

Take down: Pull up stakes and stow. Remove the fly. Un-clip the tent from the poles. Pull poles out of the grommets, 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%.
