Do not stake the tent down yet. In windy conditions, we recommend that a narrow end should face into the wind and that you stake down one corner of this end. See fig.1 Join the shock-corded poles together. Try to prevent pole sections from snapping together, as this can damage the pole ends. Make certain each insert end has seated firmly into each plain end. At the front corner of the tent; [with the yellow web]- A, fit the post end of one of the aluminum poles into the web grommet. Angle the pole to the opposite corner; A to C. At corner B, repeat with the second pole B to D. Start at the front of the tent at D and grasp the end of the pole in one hand and the web loop in the other. Push the pole from D to B creating an arc. Insert the post into the web grommet to tension the tent across the diagonal. Repeat with the other pole; C to A. See fig. 2 & 3. With the tent secure, drape the fly over the tent body. Connect the four corner buckles on the fly to their mates on the tent webs. NOTE: Depending upon your preference, you my fit the fly on the tent two ways. For rainey weather, we recommend that you place the fly over the tent with the vestibule sections over the doors and that you join yellow web to yellow web. For fair weather and easier egress, turn the fly and join the yellow web to a black web. Reach under the fly and connect the hook and loop tabs to the tent poles. See fig. 8 & 9. At the front of the tent, pull the stake out loop on the vestibule taut and stake it down. Make sure that the vestibule is tight. Repeat with the other vestibule at the rear of the tent. See fig. 10. With the vestibule wings staked down and tight, go around the tent, and adjust or tighten all the side release buckles. Your tent is now ready for use. NOTE: In strong winds, tie extra ropes to the storm loops on the fly and stake down so that the ropes are tight. REV A 4.09 A B C D fig. 1 fig. 2 fig. 4 fig. 3 fig. 5 fig. 6 fig. 7 A C B D Raise up the tent poles and attach the peak of the tent to them. Capture both poles where they cross, with the loop and dog bone. See fig. 4 & 5. Attach all the clips to the poles. Your tent is now free-standing, place it in location that has enough room for the fly and stake it down through the corner loops. Stake the opposite corners while applying tension to smooth the floor wrinkles. See fig. 6 & 7 Good: 4 stakes /4 lines Best: 4 stakes /8 lines REV E. FEB 09 SEAM SEALING: We recommend use of a sealer such as Kenyon Seam Sealer 3 or McNett Outdoor SeamGrip®. • Work in a fully ventilated area. • Set the tent up or lay the tent out flat. Taut seams allow for even application and penetration of the sealer. • Decide which seams need to be sealed. For example, seams that will be exposed to rain, runoff, or ground level water are a must for sealing, while seams on uncoated nylon or mesh panels don’t need treatment. There is no need to seal the seams in the roof or the factory taped seams. We recommend sealing both floor and fly seams and reinforcements. • Apply sealant to the inside and outside of all exposed seams. Several thin layers will work better than one thick layer. Read and follow manufacture's instructions. STAKING: All tents need to be staked down to keep them from blowing away. Securing the tent by placing heavy objects inside is just not adequate. • Once the tent body is erected, stake it out before the fly is put on. This enables you to square the tent up to ensure that the fly goes on properly and that the seams align with the frame. Pull the base of the tent taut between each web stake out loop or ring & pin. Make sure that all corners are square. It is important that you don’t stake the tent out too tightly. You will know it’s too tight, if the door zippers can not be easily operated. Drive stakes through the web loops, or with ring & pin, drive the stake just outside the ring so that the “J” hook catches it. Tie a piece of cord or web into a loop through the ring to be used as a large stake loop if needed. • With the tent properly staked, drape the fly over the frame, attach its tent connection points and stake down any pull outs. • Do not attempt to remove the stakes by pulling on the tent becket loop, as this could cause the fabric to tear. The best way is to pry on the stake itself. Staking in special conditions: • Sand. Use long, broad stakes with plenty of surface area in loose soil. • Hard, Rocky, or Frozen Soil. Steel stakes work best. Store steel stakes separately. Their sharp edges can cut fabric and leave rust stains, which might damage your tent. • Snow. Use “dead man” anchors. Tie tent to buried objects (branches, tent bags, or stuff sacks filled with snow; or tie tents to snow shoes, skis, or ski poles, which are stuck in the snow. GUY LINES: Do not depend upon staking alone to keep your tent secure during high winds. Most tent models have built-in loops or rings at optimal guy out locations. It’s important to put in the extra time guying out your tent. Correctly...
