Catoma Raider User manual

After clearing your space, lay the
body of the Raider out on the ground
in position.
Assemble the longer of the two poles
- the head pole - and slide it through
its sleeve at the widest part of the
tent body.
Insert the pole ends into their
respective grommets at the sides of
the tent.
Stake the body out tightly in all
directions.
Assemble the shorter pole - the foot
pole - and insert its ends into the
grommets at the top and bottom of
the foot of the tent.
If not already attached, tie the foot
guy line - with hook attached - to the
bottom webbing tab at the bottom of
the foot of the tent. The resulting line
should be about 24” in length.
Hook the foot guyline to the tab at the
top of the foot of the tent.
Loop the foot guyline around one of
the stakes, pull tight, and drive into the
ground. This will tighten the ridgeline
of the tent, essentially erecting the
body using tension.
Drape the rainfly over the tent and
buckle all attachment points. Find
the grommet on the underside of the
rainfly that corresponds to the foot
pole’s location and join the two.
Unhook the guy line hook at the foot of
the body. Re-hook the guy line to the
rainfly’s appropriate tab.
Join the toggles and loops along the
ridgeline of the tent body and the
underside of the rainfly’s ridgeline.
Make sure the rainfly is pulled tight.
This may involve moving the foot guy
line’s stake outward to tighten the
ridgeline, or tightening the buckle
attachment points at the corners.

Care Instructions
While it’s likely that this is the most durable shelter you will ever own, some
care on your part is still required to ensure that your tent performs to its peak
potential for years to come.
• Follow all fire safety precautions from the reverse side of this label to ensure safety
and longevity.
• Avoid wearing boots inside your tent when possible.
• Make sure tent is dry before storing to avoid mildew and dry rot.
• Clean and dry tent after using. Spot clean with mild detergent and warm water.
Air dry.
• Prepare your campsite by clearing any sharp objects that might rip, snag, or
puncture tent fabric.
• Pack stakes, pegs, and/or poles carefully to avoid tearing or wearing of tent fabric,
especially mesh parts.
• Avoid exposure to sunlight for prolonged periods of time. Ultraviolet light is
damaging to tent fabric.
• This tent is not intended to be used as permanent shelter. Prolonged, consistent
exposure to elements will break down materials over time.
• When on the Trail, never store food in your tent. Wildlife will often force their way
into a tent to get your food.
• Handle poles, especially the joints with care and ensure pole sections are fully
engaged before bending. Keep the poles clean and free of silt, sand, and
saltwater.
• Store your tent in a cool, dry environment. Excessive heat and humidity can
destroy the waterproof coating.
• Do not use harsh chemicals on tent fabrics. Avoid spraying insecticides, bug
repellent, hair spray or aerosols anywhere near tent fabrics. These chemicals can
burn through tent fabrics and degrade waterproofing
• One of the keys to zipper longevity is to keep them free of sand and grit. When
pitching your tent, be careful to keep the door and window zippers out of the dirt.
Never step on the zipper. Clean zippers between trips with a garden hose and
pressure nozzle. Treating zippers with silicon lubricant from time to time can also
be helpful.

insert it’s ferruled ends into the
grommets at either side of the
wides part of the groundsheet.
Lay the rainfly over the ground
sheet and attach it to the head
pole using the velcro loops on the
underside of the fly.
Assemble the footpole - the shorter
of the two poles - and insert its
ends into the grommets at the foot
end of the groundsheet and the
foot of the rainfly.
Tie the Foot guyline -with hook
attached - to the tab at the foot
of the ground sheet and hook the
hook into the loop at the apex of
