Note:
• Carefully fold out your poles, using caution to prevent
snapping the shock-cording. Make sure each pole segment
is "seated" into the next section before flexing the pole
during setup.
• Do not drop tent bag or pole bag. Do not bounce tent bag
on its end to remove tent, as these actions may damage
the shock-cord and/or pole ends.
• Always store tent in the tent bag, do not drag or push tent
across rough surfaces as it will cause extra wear and may
puncture the floor, even when folded.
Disassembly Instructions:
Make sure all doors are zipped nearly closed, leaving space
to allow air to escape when repacking.

Overview
TM

All rights reserved Undercover®2016
Frame Break-In
Your new frame may be stiff or tight upon first usage, a short
break-in period may be required. To help expedite the seating
process there are a few things you can do.
Lightly apply some WD-40 or other lubricant on a dry cloth, rub
down the outer legs and wipe away any remaining residue.
Practice opening and closing the frame and be sure to lock all four
corners.
Water Resistant Fabric
Apply seam sealer, when subjected to certain weather conditions
the seams may wick/saturate eventually leading to dripping.
To help minimize seam dripping Undercover highly recommends
applying 303 Fabric Guard waterproof spray application on all
seams from time-to-time. This can be found on Amazon.com
Quick Tips:
* Telescopic legs feature more than one height-adjustment.
* Lock corner sliders before extending telescopic legs.
* To prevent damage... frame should never be forcefully expanded, nor should corner sliders
be forcefully locked.
* ALWAYS be sure that frame is securely anchored. Even the slightest wind will lift the shelter
causing frame damage and or serious injury. The warranty does not cover damage due to
wind, rain or user neglect.
Note:
* Find anchor spikes and spare parts in the wheel bag zippered pocket.
* Polyester-Skin can be left on the frame.
* Be sure skin is clean and dry before storage.
* Never force frame action. A gentle lifting and shaking motion will aid in operation.

SRT Buckle Attachment
Intelligent Design: We’ve
replaced the old snap button with a new
buckle attachment system. The SRT
buckles provide for critical fixed points
in attaching the frame to the top.
U-Wedge
Corner-Seam Support: In
pursuit of the Perfect-Fit are critical
polyester-skin adjustments located at
the top corner position. The U-Wedge
provides corner-seam support
necessary for improved watershed and
visual enhancement.
1. Locate wedge adjustment under
the skin at the top of each corner
leg.
2. Loosen Allen-screw with included
wrench.
3. Lift and slide U-Wedge outward to
provide additional corner-seam
support.
4. Tighten Allen-screw.
Note: This feature is not compatible with
CRS Curtain-Wall accessory.
X-Scape Vent
Heat Reflective: On a hot
sunny day heat rises and seeks
release. A very cool peak vent has
been integrated into selected
Undercover shades to release updrafts
and promote cooler air circulation.
1. The X-Scape is located at the peak
of the polyester-skin, adjust with
frame folded.
2. Engage Velcro-Tilt for maximum
venting.
3. For moisture control Velcro-Shut.
Spin-Bag
Intelligent Design: It's not
unusually for users to frustratingly toss
most cheap wheel bags. The
Undercover®Spin-Bag sets a new
standard of bag functionality and
ease-of-operation.
Sil-X Coating
Heat Reflective: Typically users
find high temps and linger heat
uncomfortable. Undercover®provides
an underlying heat reflective skin
coating. The result can be a chilling up
to 20 Degree difference. Additionally,
Sil-X offers 99% UV-Block and helps
with colorfast.
Solid-Core Tube
Strength and Durability:
We’ve figured a patented way of
increasing the tube breaking strength
by up to 200%. All legs and truss bars
now feature an internal nylon plug that’s
actually implanted inside all the hollow
tubes. This new Solid-Core technology
raises the bar on folding frame tube
strength and durability that’s
unmatched in the industry.
Inner-Truss
Strength and Durability:
Forces of nature play havoc on all
pop-up type shelters. The Inner-Truss
provides unilateral side-and-peak
support for lightweight durability and
strength.
Dial-A-Fit®
Peak-Extender: With time all
polyester-skins stretch and sag.
Undercover®introduces a
peak-extender with just a
turn-of-the-dial. Benefits include
improved watershed and visual
enhancement.
1. The dial is located at the base of
the peak-pole.
2. Turn dial clockwise to extend
peak.
3. Extend to create the Perfect-Fit.
The Dial-A-Fit®is found on select models
and does not affect normal operation. It is an
enhancement feature and usually not
necessary to adjustment when brand new.
U-Push Lever
Pinch Proof Release Lever:
Users often complain about the
difficulty of setup and take-down. The
U-Push sets a new standard of
incredible ease-of-operation.
1. During setup red levers
automatically engage.
2. Simply push the release lever to
disengage.
It's sometimes helpful on the corner release
lever to lift-and-push.
