Assembly Instructions

Forte SQ 2XT Tents

Component List: 1 Tent Body, 1 Tent Fly, 2 Ridge Pole Extensions, 4 Part Frame Assembly, 1 Carry Bag, 1 Stake Bag with Stakes, 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 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. 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.	fig.2

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

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.	fig.6
See fig. 7.

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.

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.

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	fig.10
corner of the tent. Pull

the fabric out and over the hubs and out and over the spreader.

See fig 10.

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.

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.

Your tent is ready!

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%.
