Step 1- TENT SET UP

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 the 2 Main fiberglass poles through the pole sleeves that cross over the top of the roof of tent (Figure A).

4) Thread 4 Eave fiberglass poles into the eave pole sleeves atop of tent (Figure B). NOTE: Do not mistake eave poles sleeves for outer
wing room pole sleeves.

5) Tie center top of tent with ties to the crossed Main poles.

6) Insert both ends of the Main poles into the 4 Point Hubs that have the extra internal cylinder and matching color code (Figure D).

7) Thread 2 Outer Wing fiberglass poles into the outer wing pole sleeves atop of tent (Figure C).

8) Insert both Eave and Outer Wing fiberglass poles into corresponding hubs with matching color code (Figure E). Be certain to install all
fiberglass poles into hub points with extra internal cylinder and matching color code.

9) Insert the 2 yellow coded Steel Poles into color matching 4 Point Hubs in front of tent (Figure F) and then insert the pins located on
rings at the bottom of the tent into the ends of the steel poles (Figure G).

10) Insert 2 red coded Steel Poles on the back side of tent to the matching color 4 Point Hubs and then insert the pins located on
rings at the bottom of the tent into the ends of the steel poles. IMPORTANT: The metal rings attached to the steel poles must be toward
the top. NOTE: Center of tent will now be erect.

11) Insert remaining 4 red coded Steel Poles into color matching 2 Point Hubs located on the outer corners of tent (Figure H) and then
insert the pins located on rings at the bottom of the tent into the ends of the steel poles. NOTE: Tent will now be erect.

12) Stake the tent down through the nylon loops with Heavy Duty Stakes (Figure I), (Figure J).

16) Insert remaining Steel Poles (with white color code) into color matching hubs and then insert the pins located on rings at the bottom of

17) Attach the Velcro located on the underside of the fly around the poles (Figure M).
