WARNINGS
 The performance and integrity of the tent is very dependent on the proper setup so it is important
that your Pinnacle Tents canvas tent is setup, assembled, and secured properly per the instrucons
or damage to the tent will result.
 We advise you to unpack the tent to make sure all parts are present and funconal and familiarize
yourself with the tent and setup prior to taking it to a remote campsite.
 The canvas is not aected by ultra violet light from the sun but direct sunlight will degrade any syn-
thec materials such as the eave pole and stake loops over me. For extended operaon in the di-
rect sun we recommend the oponal y cover or seng up the tent where shade is available.
 Always make sure your Pinnacle Tents canvas tent is clean and dry before packing and storing in a
dry environment. The canvas is treated for mildew resistance but any fabric will mold if stored in a
wet or damp environment. Clean only with a weak mild liquid dishwashing detergent soluon or
Fels Naptha soap.
 Always secure your Pinnacle Tents canvas tent properly with all supplied guy ropes to insure proper
operaon and to make sure the structure is secure even if the weather does not appear threatening.
 Keep re and ammable materials away from the tent. Do not leave res unaended.
 Do not use any combusble fuel items such as heaters or lanterns inside the tent at any me.
 Do not allow any organic solvents such as some inseccides, repellants, or sun screens to contact the
tent fabric at any me. If the factory water resistance is ever damaged you can apply any aqueous
water repellant or seam sealer that is commercially available.
 When taking down the tent do NOT pull on the stake loops to remove the stakes. This will overstress
the stake loop and can cause seam failure.

ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS—Pinnacle Tents Model 1014/912
1. Select a nice, clean, smooth, level camp site and
clear it of sharp stones or scks that could punc-
ture the oor of your new Pinnacle Tents canvas
tent. Face the door of the tent in the desired direc-
on. Stake one front corner of the tent oor and
then pull the opposite front corner taut but not
overly ght and stake down that corner. Repeat
this for the two back corners.
2. Locate and idenfy all the steel poles per the previ-
ous frame diagram drawing on page #2.
3. Insert the center pole assembly (poles #1/#2 and
#3) into the center roof pole sleeve of the tent.
Repeat this by inserng the right and le side poles
#1/#2 and #3 into the eave webbing loops on the
right and le side of the tent roof.
4. Aer all three roof poles are inserted and
aached, assemble the two upright telescoping
center poles #4 and #5 and #6 with #9. Insert the
upright center pole #4 into the elbow of the center
pole #3. Then push up the center of the tent being
careful not to over strain the canvas material. Re-
peat this procedure on the opposite side of the
tent.
5. Next, work on erecng one side (right or le) of the
tent. Assemble the two upright telescoping side
ridge poles #7 and #8 with #9. Insert the upright
side ridge pole #7 into the elbow of the side ridge
pole #3. Then push up the eave of the tent being
careful not to over strain the canvas material. Do
not apply too much tension that would lead to
damage the stake loops or roof eave pole loops or
cause the stakes to pull out of the ground. Repeat
this procedure on the opposite side of the tent.
Your Pinnacle Tents canvas tent should be standing
at this point and nal adjustments will be made
later.
6. Now your Pinnacle Tents canvas tent is standing
and may need some nal adjustments. First, check
the oor inside the tent and make sure there are no
large wrinkles. You may have to adjust the stake
locaons to smooth out the oor. Be careful when
removing the stakes from the ground that you pull
on the stake and NOT on the stake loop. Pulling on
the stake loop will overstress the seam and cause
damage. Now drive all stakes through the remain-
ing stake loops around the perimeter of the tent.
7. Next, look at the tension on the canvas roof and
make sure it has the proper slope for rain water run
o. If the roof sags below the level of the eaves of
the tent, water will pool on the roof and, if a large
amount of water collects, it could leak and collapse
the tent. Adjust the right and le eave poles by
adjusng the length of the telescoping upright
poles or by sliding the lower ends of poles #7/#8/#9
along the ground to make sure the side walls are
not loose and the roof does not sag. Make sure you
do not over stress the fabric too ghtly as this may
damage the fabric and seams.
8. Fasten the corners of the tent to the poles (D-Ring)
with the es but do not apply too much tension or
it may tear the seams.
9. You can also adjust the tension on the canvas roof
and make sure that it has the proper slope for rain
water run o by adjusng the height of the center
ridge poles. You may have to adjust the center
ridge pole heights to compensate for unevenness of
the ground, to make the center ridge level, and to
provide the proper pitch to the roof for water run
o.
10. Now that your Pinnacle Tents canvas tent is all set
up and adjusted, it is important to aach all the
included guy ropes at the locaons shown in the
frame drawing and photograph on page #2. The
guy ropes provide integrity for the structure of the
tent and keep the tent stable and prevent damage.
11. To dismantle the tent follow the above direcons
in reverse.
