SAFETY WARNING -
DOs AND DO NOTs
EVERYONE WHO USES THIS TENT SHOULD READ THIS MANUAL AND BECOME FAMILIAR WITH ALL
SAFETY WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS FOR SAFE USE, ASSEMBLY, CARE, MAINTENANCE,
AND STORAGE. KEEP THIS MANUAL SO YOU CAN REFER TO IT LATER.
CARBON MONOXIDE GAS WILL KILL YOU
Stoves, heaters, grills, lantern, candles, and other fuel-burning devices that burn propane, natural gas, charcoal, kerosene, coal, or other fuels
produce a toxic gas called carbon monoxide. Because carbon monoxide gas is invisible, odorless, and colorless, a dangerous level of carbon
monoxide gas can accumulate in a tent which cannot be detected by sight, smell, or taste. For these reasons:
• DO NOT use matches, lighters, stoves, heaters, grills, lanterns, candles, cooking equipment, or other fuel-burning devices inside or near a tent.
• DO NOT build fires inside or near a tent.
• DO NOT leave campfires unattended.
Your failure to follow this warning will cause death, serious injury, or permanent disability to you or others.
• DO NOT leave children unattended inside a tent or in camp.
• DO NOT allow children to assemble a tent.
• DO NOT allow children to enter or exit a tent except through the door.
• DO NOT allow children to remain in a closed-up tent on hot days.
Your failure to follow this warning will cause death, serious injury, or permanent disability to your children.
PROTECT YOUR CHILDREN
This tent is made with flame resistant fabric which meets CPAI-84 specification. IT IS NOT FIREPROOF. The fabric will 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.
Your failure to follow this warning could cause death, serious injury, or permanent disability to you or others.
FLAMMABILITY WARNING KEEP ALL FLAME AND HEAT SOURCES AWAY FROM THIS TENT FABRIC
1. Do not pitch tent near open fire.
2. Do not leave campfire unattended.
3. Do not leave children unattended inside a tent.
4. Do not use heating, lighting or cooking equipment with open flames in or near tents.
5. Do not use other than recommended water repellent compounds on your tent.
6. Do not spray the tent with insecticide.
7. Do not store tent on concrete floor.
CAMPING DO’S AND DON’TS
DO NOT...
1. Always extinguish campfire before leaving area.
2. Exercise care when using electricity and lighting in and near tents.
3. Make certain your tent is properly ventilated in all weather conditions. In extreme weather conditions, snow could obstruct airflow and
cause asphyxiation unless cleared frequently.
4. Anchor your tent securely to provide additional security from changing climatic conditions. Snow pegs, skis and/or heavy rocks may
be necessary to supplement tent stakes and guy cords.
5. Take your tent down and store properly after camping.
DO...
DO NOT LEAVE YOUR TENT SET UP IN DIRECT SUNLIGHT LONGER THAN NECESSARY. THE SUN’S ULTRAVIOLET
(UV) LIGHT DEGRADES ALMOST EVERY FABRIC AND MATERIAL. IF LEFT IN SUNLIGHT FOR PROLONGED PERIODS
OF TIME, FABRIC WILL FADE AND WEAKEN. DO NOT STORE TENT ON CONCRETE FLOOR. DO NOT SPRAY THE
TENT WITH INSECTICIDE.
Your tent is water repellent, however, it is not waterproof. During heavy rain, some leakage may occur. Keep
objects from touching the inside of the tent. Such objects may cause leakage at point of contact. If seam leakage
occurs, it can be controlled by applying a seam sealer compound.
EXERCISE CARE WHEN USING ELECTRIC DEVICES IN AND NEAR TENTS.
Although our tents and screen houses are constructed to rigid specifications, periods of wind or rain
soaking the ground may loosen the stakes and cause the uprights to sink into the ground. This will
weaken the rigidity of the overall structure. Water pockets may also form in the roof if the unit is not
assembled taut, possibly causing broken frames and torn fabric.

ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS
MODEL W731, 18’ x 18’ 14 Person Family Tent
IMPORTANT: WE ADVISE YOU TO ASSEMBLE THE TENT ONCE BEFORE
GOING CAMPING TO BECOME FAMILIAR WITH THE ASSEMBLY OF THE TENT.
NOTE: PLEASE LOOK AT THE REPLACEMENT PARTS DIAGRAM TO SEE HOW
YOUR FRAME IS ASSEMBLED.
TO PROLONG THE LIFE OF THE TENT FLOOR, SELECT A LEVEL, CLEAN AREA
FOR THE CAMPSITE. TO PREVENT DAMAGE TO THE ZIPPER, UNZIP THE
DOORS TO ALLOW AIR TO ENTER THE TENT.
TO IMPROVE THE WEATHER RESISTANCE OF YOUR TENT, IT IS ADVISABLE
TO USE SEAM SEALER TO COAT ALL EXPOSED SEAMS. YOU SHOULD APPLY
ONLY TO THE INSIDE SEAMS OF THE TENT AND UNDERSIDE OF THE TENT FLY.
IF APPLIED TO THE OUTSIDE OF SEAMS, DISCOLORATION OF YOUR TENT
MAY OCCUR. SEAM SEALER IS AVAILABLE IN THE CAMPING SECTION OF
ANY LOCAL SPORTING GOODS STORE.
STEP 1: Spread tent out flat, floor side down. Unzip the tent doors and porch
windows to allow air to enter the tent. The inverted “T” door into screen porch
should be closed during initial set up.
STEP 4: Slide the three main tent poles (A) through the three light grey pole
sleeves on the roof of the tent. Insert pole ends into the openings of the plastic
center hub (F).
STEP 5: One adult should enter the tent and lift the roof and tent
poles up off the ground. Another adult should flex the main tent
poles and place the free ends over the metal pins at base of tent.
Clip plastic hooks to frame.
STEP 7: Now with an adult on each end of the side room tent
poles (B), flex the poles into an arch and place the ends over
the remaining pins at base of tent. Clip plastic hooks to frame.
Repeat with the other side room tent pole.
STEP 8: Insert the fiberglass screen porch eave pole (C) through
dark grey sleeve above screen porch door. Locate the plastic
corner joints (G) that are attached to the tent canopy. The smaller
opening of the corner joints with “teeth” fit over the eave pole.
STEP 9: With an adult at each side of screen porch, insert the
ends of steel upright poles (E) into corner joints (G) keeping the
D-Rings near the top of the steel poles. Each adult should lift up
on the steel pole and place bottom end of pole over the pins at
the base.
STEP 11: Secure the fly to tent by wrapping hook and loop
fasteners at edge
of fly around poles.
STEP 12: Guy ropes have been provided for the fly. Extend
guy ropes and make a loop at the end of guy ropes by using
slider (as shown) and place loop over tent stakes. Hammer
stake into ground at a 45° angle. Adjust slider to make guy
rope tight. Repeat with the remaining guy ropes.
The assembled tent should
appear as shown.
STEP 3: Extend the fiberglass poles by pulling out each section and placing
ends into the metal ferrule connectors. You
will have eight fiberglass poles and two steel
poles. The three fiberglass poles that are the
same length (A) are the main tent poles. The
two longest fiberglass poles (B) are the side
room poles. The shortest pole (C) is the screen
porch eave pole. The 2 remaining fiberglass
poles (D) with tip ends are for the side door
awnings. The two steel poles (E) are the screen
porch uprights.

STEP 10: Unfold fly and place over tent. Make certain that the
dark grey panel is positioned over screen porch door. Attach fly
to tent by using the plastic “S” hooks at the fly corners to the D-rings
on the two steel upright poles and rings at base of tent.
NOTE: To take down tent, follow steps above in the reverse order. Be sure to
leave doors unzipped. MAKE SURE TENT IS CLEAN AND DRY BEFORE
STORING. Place stakes into stake bag and poles into pole bag, which are
provided. The tent should be folded into equal parts toward the center to
distribute the bulk. Fold fly and lay on top. Start a small tight roll, the width of
your carry bag, with the pole bag placed at the end opposite the doors. Roll
tent toward doors to allow air to escape. Once rolled, secure with strings or
rope and place into carry bag.
STEP 2: Stake down tent by inserting the stakes through webbing
stake loops and rings at base of tent. Hammer stakes into ground
at 45° angle. Make sure the floor is pulled out even and snug.
STEP 6: Slide the two side room poles (B) through the dark grey pole sleeves
above each of the side room doors. Center poles in sleeves.
Tent should appear
as shown.
A divider curtain is included which can be attached to the walls of the rear room
of your tent, to separate into two sleeping rooms. Your screen porch can be
completely enclosed by zipping the inside window flaps closed. Please note
that the screen porch walls should be zipped closed in rainy weather, to eliminate
the possibility of water pooling on the screen porch floor.
