Things You Should Know:
• Under certain conditions (cold weather, high humidity, etc.) condensation
will form on the inside of your shelter. Condensation is caused by water
vapor from your breath, perspiration, or any wet clothing inside the shelter.
It is NOT LEAKAGE through the shelter fabric. It can be minimized by
removing wet clothing from your shelter and by providing good ventila-
tion through the shelter.
• Tree limbs, tree sap, bird droppings, or moisture steadily dripping off tree
limbs can cause damage to the shelter fabric and its coating resulting in
leaks or loss of flame-resistant properties.
• Never store shelter, even for a short period of time, without drying it
thoroughly and brushing off caked dirt. Do not pack stakes or poles inside
your shelter. Use a separate storage bag.
• Stakes should be removed by pulling on the stake itself. NEVER PULL
ON THE SHELTER TO REMOVE STAKES AS THIS COULD RESULT IN
PROPERTY DAMAGE OR PERSONAL INJURY.
• Shelter poles should not be left telescoped together during storage.
• Do not leave your shelter 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 product is not intended to be used during heavy rain, wind, hail, snow
or other inclement weather. Excess water build-up can cause the frame
system to become unstable, and possibly collapse, causing injury.
• The shelter top and sun wall (if included) should be carefully removed dur-
ing windy conditions to avoid damage to product or personal injury.
• DO NOT use any gas or flame sources under or near this product.
