Step 1- TENT SET UP (see diagram on following page)

To prolong the life of your tent floor we suggest using a ground cloth cut slightly smaller than the floor of your tent and that you select
a clean level area for your campsite.

1) Spread the tent body out on the ground.

2) Fully open all of the poles (NOTE: Poles and hubs are color coded for easier assembly).

3) Carefully thread 2 Cross Fiberglass Poles through the GREEN pole sleeves at top of tent (Figure A). Secondly, thread Center Fiberglass
pole through yellow pole sleeve at top of tent.

4) Attach clips to fiberglass poles (Figure B).

5) Insert all fibergalss pole ends into the corresponding hubs that have the extra internal cylinder and matching color code (Figure C).

6) Starting on one side, insert 1 of the Short Center Steel Poles into the larger opening of the Center Eave Hub with matching color code.
Make certain to install pole with metal ring closer to the top. Insert bottom of pole into pin at bottom of tent. Repeat process on the
opposite side of the tent. (Figure D)

8) Insert the Medium length Corner Steel Pole into the corresponding Corner Eave Hub that has matching color code (Figure C). Insert
bottom of pole into pin at bottom of tent. Repeat process on all corners of the tent. (Figure D)

9) Starting at one end, insert 1 of the horizontal Long Eave Steel Poles into the larger end opening of the Corner Eave Hub with matching
color code. Repeat process on the opposite end of the tent. (Figure D)

10) Attach all of the pole clips to all steel poles (Figure E).

11) Stake the tent down through the rings at the ends of the poles with heavy duty stakes (Figure F) and stake the tent down on the
nylon loops located at the bottom center of each side of the tent with standard stakes (Figure G).
