1. Lay the tent body out on the ground. Assemble the poles. Make
sure each rod is fully inserted into the next rod. Do not let the rods
snap together.
2. Open the doors of the tent. Do not stake the tent down yet. In
windy conditions, stake down the corner that faces into the wind.
3. Start at a corner and slide a pole through a sleeve. Follow the
seam to the next sleeve and slide the pole through. Continue until
you reach the other side of the tent. Be careful wherever seams
cross.
4. Repeat with second and third poles. One pole should run from A
to B, a second from Cto Dand the third from Eto F.
5. Place the pole posts into the grommets at the corners of the tent
in the following order: A to B, Cto D and E to F.

6. Move the tent into position and stake down the tent body at the
corners and at the side stake loops E and F.
7. Choose the color and drape the reversible rain y over the tent.
Arrange the y so that the
arc of the door aligns with
the arc of the third pole.
NOTE: Always stake your tent down - placing objects inside the tent is not
adequate. Use the 10' pull out cords for added stability in high winds. Tie
the cords to the loops on the rain y and stake them down 3-4 feet from the
tent. The cords should be taut, but they should not warp the poles or distort
the shape of the tent.
8. There are seven Velcro® wraps on the underside of the rain y.
Wrap these around the tent poles to secure the y.
9. Fasten the buckles at the corners of the y to their mates at the
corners of the tent.
10. Stake down the vestibules. Attach the 5' pull out cords to the
loops at the sides of the y and stake them down.
11. Adjust the tension on the rain y at the corner buckles until the
y is taut and secure. Adjust 5' pull out cord if needed.

Striking Instructions
Pull up all stakes. Release four buckles on rain y. Unfasten Velcro® on rain y
from tent poles. Remove rain y. Open doors and shake debris out through
the doors. Pull pole posts out of all grommets. Slide poles out of sleeves. Fold
tent to the length of the poles. Fold dierently each time to prevent creases
that may damage the tent. Roll tent toward a door to push air out.
Ventilation
One adult produces about a pint of water overnight. If this water vapor
cannot escape, it reappears as condensation. If the inside of the tent is wet in
the morning but there is no obvious leak, you probably have condensation.
Usually, condensation is heaviest on the tent oor, where objects touch the
cool earth. You can help prevent condensation by leaving your windows
open at night. To vent this tent in wet weather, open the top of the front door
under the hood in the rain y.
Pitching the Rain fly Only:
1. Assemble all three poles. Unfold the rain y with the desired color down.
2. There are three black Rain y Pitching Webs [ RPW ], two with buckle ends
and one with snap ends. Attach a buckle RPW to its mate at Dof the rain y .
Repeat with a second buckle RPW at B. Snap the remaining RPW to ring at F.
3. Following the seam, thread a pole from Ato B, passing through two web
loops. Place the pole's post into the grommet where the RPW is attached to
the rain y. Repeat, threading a second pole from Cto D.
4. Wrap the Velcro®at the peak of the rain y to capture both poles.
5. Thread the last pole from
Eto F, passing through the
web loop above the vestibule
zipper, and through the web
loops where it crosses the
other two poles.

inserted). Place the free post into the grommet at A.
7. Attach the second RPW, connected at Dto the buckle at A.
Push the pole from corner Ctoward Dand place the pole's post
into the grommet at C.
8. Snap the loose end of the middle RPW to the ring on the rain
y at E. Push the third pole toward Fand place the pole's post into
the grommet at E.
9. Turn the rain y over and stake down the corners and the
vestibules. Use the center snaps in the RPWs to adjust the rain
y’s height. Restake the corners and/or the vestibule stake loops if
needed.

WARNING:
Do NOT operate any device which burns fuel inside this tent.
Combustion consumes oxygen, and can produce dangerous levels of
carbon monoxide which could lead to serious injury or death.

Shok locks: Use when replacing broken pole rods.
1. Assemble the broken pole.
2. Pull one end rod away from the pole. Cut the shockcord so that it
is even with the insert on the end rod.
3. Disassemble pole and replace any broken rods.Thread the
shockcord back through the rods. Because you need to stretch the
shockcord as you do this, use a vice grip pliers to hold the shock-
cord before you thread it through the last rods.

4. Gently squeeze a shok lock between thumb and forenger and
push its angled end into the insert up to the rst barbs. The shok lock

lock will hold the shockcord.
8. Release the vice grips and check the tension of the shockcord. If
loose, add tension by pushing more shockcord into the end rod. Be
careful. Once inserted, shockcord cannot be released.
