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.

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
DOOR TO ALLOW AIR TO ENTER THE TENT.
STEP 1: Spread tent out flat, floor side down, and stake the
four corners.
Top View
NOTE: To take down tent, follow steps above in the reverse order. Be sure
to leave door unzipped. 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. 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. MAKE SURE TENT IS CLEAN AND DRY
BEFORE STORING
STEP 3: Insert the longest pole (A) into the pole sleeve over the door. Insert
the shortest pole (B) into the sleeve over the rear vent of the tent. Position poles
so that equal pole lengths extend on each end of the pole sleeves.
STEP 2: Extend fiberglass frame poles by pulling out each section and
placing ends into the metal ferrule connectors.
STEP 4: Flex the tent poles into an arch and place the ferrules
on the pole ends over the metal pins at the tent corners.
STEP 5: Extend the guy lines attached to the front
awning, over the door. Make a loop at the opposite
end of the guy ropes by using slider, as shown, and
place loops over tent stakes. Stake to the ground and
adjust sliders to make guy lines tight.
Tent should appear as shown.
STEP 7: After all guy ropes are staked, the tent should be completely upright.
Using sliders, adjust the guy ropes to make sure the tent roof is stretched tight.
STEP 6: Extend the webbing strap attached to the
rear awning and stake to the ground.
Tent should appear as shown.
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. IF APPLIED TO THE OUTSIDE
OF SEAMS, DISCOLORATION OF YOUR TENT MAY OCCUR.
