Things You Should Know:

• Under certain conditions (cold weather, high humidity, etc.) condensation

will form on the inside of your shelter. Condensation is caused by water vapor from your breath, perspiration, or any wet clothing inside the shelter. It is NOT LEAKAGE through the shelter fabric. It can be minimized by removing wet clothing from your shelter and by providing good ventilation through the shelter.

• Tree limbs, tree sap, bird droppings, or moisture steadily dripping off tree

limbs can cause damage to the shelter fabric and its coating resulting in leaks or loss of flame-resistant properties.

• Never store shelter, even for a short period of time, without drying it

thoroughly and brushing off caked dirt. Do not pack stakes or poles inside your shelter. Use a separate storage bag.

• Stakes should be removed by pulling on the stake itself. NEVER PULL

ON THE SHELTER TO REMOVE STAKES AS THIS COULD RESULT IN PROPERTY DAMAGE OR PERSONAL INJURY.

• Shelter poles should not be left telescoped together during storage.

• Do not leave your shelter set-up for weeks at a time. Be aware that

exposure to ultraviolet rays from the sun can seriously damage material and/or cause it to become discolored.

• This product is not intended to be used during heavy rain, wind, hail, snow

or other inclement weather. Excess water build-up can cause the frame system to become unstable, and possibly collapse, causing injury.

• The shelter top and sun wall (if included) should be carefully removed dur-

ing windy conditions to avoid damage to product or personal injury.

• DO NOT use any gas or flame sources under or near this product.

WARNING: Keep all flame and heat sources away from

this tent fabric.

This tent meets the flammability requirements of CPAI-84. The fabric may 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.
