Things You Should Know:
• Under certain conditions (cold weather, high humidity, etc.) condensation
will form on the inside of your tent. Condensation is caused by water
vapor from your breath, perspiration, or any wet clothing inside the
tent. It is NOT LEAKAGE through the shelter fabric. It can be minimized
by removing wet clothing from your shelter and by providing good
ventilation through the tent.
• Tree limbs, tree sap, bird droppings, or moisture steadily dripping off tree
limbs can cause damage to the tent fabric and its coating resulting in
leaks or loss of flame-resistant properties.
• Never store tent, even for a short period of time, without drying it
thoroughly and brushing off caked dirt. Do not pack stakes or poles
inside your tent. Use a separate storage bag.
• Stakes should be removed by pulling on the stake itself. NEVER PULL ON
THE TENT TO REMOVE STAKES AS THIS COULD RESULT IN PROPERTY
DAMAGE OR PERSONAL INJURY.
• Tent poles should not be left telescoped together during storage.
• Do not leave your tent set-up for weeks at a time. Be aware that
exposure to ultraviolet rays from the sun can seriously damage material
and/or cause it to become discolored.

THIS TENT FABRIC.
This tent meets the flammability requirements of CPAI-84. The fabric may burn
if left in continuous contact with any flame source. The application of any foreign
substance to the tent fabric may render the flame-resistant properties ineffective.
