Important Information
Misuse could result in serious injury to the user.
WARNING
Misuse could result in injury to the user and/or damage to property.
CAUTION
Misuse could easily result in a serious accident or death.
DANGER
Misuse could easily result in a serious accident or death.
DANGER
●The tent material is not flame-proof. Do not use combustion-based heat sources such
as lanterns, stoves or heaters, or open flames such as matches, candles, lighters or
cigarettes, inside the tent. The use of such heat or light sources inside a small enclosed

●Pay close attention to the weather. If extreme weather is in the forecast, pack up camp
and evacuate to a safe place.
●Do not bring heated items into the tent when they are at high temperatures. Inside the tent, very
high temperatures may cause heatstroke. Pay close attention to the temperature, particularly
when children are asleep inside the tent.
●Choose a flat, well-drained area with firm ground to pitch the tent. Choose an area where there
is no chance of avalanches, landslides, wind gusts or sudden flooding.
Misuse could result in serious injury to the user.
WARNING
●This product is not intended to be in permanent use.
●Sunlight can cause the surface of the Fly to heat up, potentially causing low-temperature
burns.
●Do not assemble or use the tent close to a bonfire, fireworks, etc. Flying sparks can create
holes in the tent fabric.
●Firmly hold the tent pole when assembling and disassembling the tent. Unexpected accidents
may occur due to the Pole ends recoiling, etc, so ensure that the surroundings are safe, with
no other people in the vicinity.
●Firmly secure the Pegs, Guy Lines, etc.

First Time Use
We have thoroughly checked this product for quality, however, please do a trial set up before actual
use to ensure full understanding of the correct usage of the accessories and instructions. If any
defects are found, please contact the dealer where the product was purchased or Snow Peak
Customer Service.
1. Sealing with Seam Sealer
*Seam sealer is not included in this product. When using, please purchase seam sealant from local
outdoor gear retailer.
A waterproofing treatment with seam taping has been applied to the stitching of the tent. However,
the ventilator and fasteners on the Fly and a part of the bottom sheet cannot be treated with the seam
tape due to their inherent design. Though capable during periods of normal rain, long spells of heavy
or driving rain, or prolonged contact with water pools on the ground, may result in the penetration of
water along the stitching. In such cases, the application of a seam sealer is recommended. Apply the
seam sealer lightly on both sides along the stitching and dry completely. The seam sealer will cure
with time. As the seam sealer wears off, re-apply as necessary. We do not provide a sealing service.
However, to maintain the tent in its best condition, application of seam sealer by the user is highly
recommended.
2. How to attach the tensioning Guy Lines onto the Fly
There are loops on the roof of the tent for hanging small items. Each loop can bear up to 1kg (2.2 lbs)
in weight.
Preparations Before Use

Set-up Procedure
0) Make sure that two or more people take part in the set-up.
1) Spread the Inner Tent on a flat area.
There are two entrances to the Inner Tent; the side that has the Building Tape is
the Vestibule side and will become the main entrance. It is necessary to decide
the location of the Vestibule according to the predicted direction of the wind and
rain. Typically, the Vestibule should face downwind. If the Vestibule faces
windward, not only will wind and rain blow into the main entrance, but sudden
and strong gusts may cause damage to the tent when opening the door.
2) There are three Inner Tent Poles. Extend the two Poles with the yellow ends and
connect them firmly. Make sure to connect them without leaving gaps at the
joints.
3) Slowly and one-by-one, insert the two yellow-ended Poles through the sleeves
with the yellow marks. (Hereafter this is called the ‘X’.) (fig. A)
4) Extend the remaining Pole for the Inner Tent (hereafter called the ‘Side Pole’)
and connect firmly.
5) Insert the Side Pole slowly into the sleeve with the green mark (fig. B).
The Side Pole should go over the X Pole (fig. C).

6) Insert a pin into one end of the X Pole (the corner tape for the X Pole is yellow)
(fig. D).
7) Insert the additional pin to the other end of the X Pole, which is located
diagonally opposite the first end (fig. E). Insert the pin slowly into the X Pole end
while adjusting so the sleeve is positioned in the center. If the pin is inserted with
too much force from one side, the other side may curve widely and cause
damage to the X Pole (fig. F). Communicate with your set up partner during this
procedure.
8) Repeat the procedure above on the other end of the X Pole and lift the tent
(fig. G). Keep the Door
Panel and Side Panel
half-open so that air
can enter the room and
aid in the lifting of the
tent.
9) Insert the pins into
both ends of the Side
Pole (corner tape for
the Side Pole is green)
(fig. H).

10) Attach all the Plastic Hooks to the corresponding
Poles (fig. I).
11) Close both door panels, front and back. Insert the
pegs into the loops at the six ends of each the
corner. Peg down the Inner Tent by following the
numbers, and by pulling lightly to stretch out any
slack at the bottom of the tent (fig. J).
*Peg the tent down all the way, but do not use
undue force that may bend or break the pegs.
*Hammer gently, and if you find any obstacles
such as stones, change the entrance point of the
peg as needed.
*The door may not close later if it is open when
pegging down.
12) Check the direction of the Vestibule and
Back Room and lay the Fly in place (fig. K).
*Velcro Tape is attached to the inside of the
Fly (at the cross-section of the Pole and the
Guy Line Reinforcing Cloth) to keep the Fly
in place. Wind the Velcro Tape around the
Pole to secure it. When taking down the tent,
make sure to remove the Velcro Tape. If the
Fly is forcefully pulled while the Velcro Tape
is still wound on the Pole, the Velcro Tape
may be damaged.
*Ensure the Vestibule Building Tape is connected.
13) Extend the Vestibule Pole and connect firmly (1 pcs).
*Make sure to connect firmly without leaving a gap at the joint.

15) Connect the six Buckles on the edge of the Fly to the Buckles on the Bottom
Rings. After connecting all of the Buckles, pull the Adjusting Tape to apply
tension and unruffle the Fly (fig. J).
* Do not pull the tape too much: excessive pulling may cause damage to the Fly.
16) Attach the Plastic Hook on the corner of the Vestibule Side Door to the Ring (fig. L).
17) Pull the edges of the Vestibule and Back Room and then insert the Pegs through
the rubber Corner Loops and hammer down (fig. M).
*Do not pull the edges too much, excessive pulling may overload the fastener
and cause damage.
18) After pegging down all the corners, disconnect the Buckle of the Vestibule
Building Tape and store it in the Building Tape Pocket (fig. N).
19) Stretch each tensioning Guy Line and peg it down (fig. O).
20) Pull the Rope tensioner on the Guy Lines to increase the tension (fig. P).

■Precautions for Storage
□When taking the tent down, begin by disconnecting the Vestibule Building Tape (fig. K).
□When removing the Pole from the pins, the Pole may recoil. Use your hands to keep the Pole steady
until it straightens.
□When removing the Side Pole and the X Pole from the pins, leave the Plastic Hooks in place.
(Remove the Plastic Hooks only after all the Poles have been removed from the pins.)
□When removing the Pole from the sleeve, push it out: if the Pole is pulled out then it may become
disconnected inside the sleeve. The disconnection of the Pole inside the sleeve may cause damage
to the cloth.
□Fold the Pole from the center to the edges. If
folded from the edge, the cord can be
overstretched, which may cause elongation or
breakage. If elongation occurs, the cord will
lose the power to hold the Pole in place,
potentially causing the Pole to break. Check
the tension of the cord regularly (fig. Q).

■How to store the Tent in the Carry Bag
① Fold the Inner Tent and the Fly according to the
length of the Carry Bag and place them inside it.
② Store the Poles and the pegs in their cases, then
place the cases in the Carry Bag. If you store the
Poles and Pegs without putting them in the
case, it may damage the products or Carry Bag.
Mist is a collection of water droplets suspended in the air that turns into condensation in rapidly falling
temperatures. In smaller spaces such as the inside of a tent, the concentration of water vapor is higher
than in an ordinary room and frequently results in more condensation. Additionally, water accounts for
60 percent of the human body and is released through breathing
and perspiration. This also causes the amount of water vapor in the
tent to increase, resulting in more condensation. Inside the tent,
condensation can commonly be found on materials that have are
highly waterproof, such as the Fly or the Bottom Sheet. Depending
on the surrounding conditions, it may be impossible to avoid
condensation completely, even with the use of waterproof
materials. To reduce condensation, it is recommended that you
allow steady ventilation while the tent is in use.
Regarding Condensation
While moving
the Guy Line
in the direction
of the arrow,
slide the Rope
tensioner to
increase the
tension.

●A combination of Polyester fabric is used in this product. Both materials are treated with a
high-quality, water-repellent finish. However, the level of water-repellent capacity and durability
may vary slightly due to the characteristics of each material.
●The water-repellent finish will lose effectiveness after repeated use. When the water repellence
decreases, please use a water-repellent spray purchased from your local outdoor gear retailer.
When using such sprays, please follow the product’s instructions.
●Materials with high waterproof capacity are used in this product. However, if the materials are in
contact with pools of water on the ground for long periods, the water may be absorbed into the
material, potentially resulting in discoloration.
Water-Repellent and Waterproof Functions
●A UV protection treatment has been applied to the Fly material. The UV protection treatment will
lessen the permeation of ultraviolet rays, which are harmful to humans, and also slow the
deterioration of the Fly.
*The UV protection treatment does not completely shield humans from ultraviolet rays or stop the
deterioration of the material’s strength.
●When the tent material is exposed to sunlight for long periods, color degradation or strength
deterioration may occur. Do not leave the product assembled permanently.
●If the material deteriorates due to ultraviolet rays and is badly damaged, it may become irreparable.
Regarding the Effect of Ultraviolet Rays
Maintenance & Storage
●A combination of Polyester fabric is used for this product. Taking the material characteristics into
consideration, we adopted processing and color patterns that will result in less color migration.
However, depending on storage conditions, slight color migration may occur. Do not store the
product while it is wet.
●Before storage, the product should be cleaned and dried sufficiently. If the product is stored when
wet, the build-up of mold, bad odors, color migration and material deterioration will occur. Dry the
product sufficiently in a breezy and shaded area and clean the surface with a soft brush before
storing.
*Do not flip the tent over with Poles still in the sleeves, as Pole breakage and cloth damage may
occur.
●Clean and dry the surface of the Poles before storing. If stored when wet, corrosion may occur,
resulting in strength deterioration. Keep the joints clean and apply a small amount of silicone
lubricant; applying an excessive amount of lubricant will stain the cloth. Ensure that the cords
inside the Poles are not pulled unnecessarily.
●Store the product in a well-ventilated area, away from heat and moisture.
●Using the zipper when it is covered with mud, sand or dust may cause wear or damage.
Clean the zipper with a brush before use. Apply small amounts of silicone lubricant to the zipper
regularly to allow for smooth movement. Do not apply excessive amounts of lubricant as it will leave
stains on the cloth.
●Slight damage to the cloth can be mended with repair tape that can be purchased from your local
outdoor gear retailer. Refer to the product instructions for the correct use of such repair tape.
●Depending on the conditions during use, the tent material may deteriorate over a wide area, losing
its durability and becoming irreparable.
●To maximize the longevity of this product, regularly check and maintain the product (including all
accessories such as the pegs).
