IMPORTANT

We strongly suggest setting up your new tent before going camping to insure
that all parts are present and to familiarize yourself with the tents assembly.
This will have a great effect on how well you enjoy your camping trip.

Step 1- TENT SET UP

Warning

Trying to force the frame open will result in broken cross pieces. NEVER force the frame to open.

1)

Carefully remove the frame from the carry bag and stand upright.

2) (Figure A)

Starting at one corner pull the frame apart being careful not to over stress the cross pieces.

(Set up will be easier and faster when you have more than 1 person).

3)

Move from leg to leg while pulling the frame apart. Make sure that the center pole does not get caught

and that it is free to move up through the upper hub.

4) (Figure B)

Before you open the frame too far it is wise to drape the canopy top over the 2 center poles
before they get too high to reach. Simply drape the canopy top over the center poles and continue to open
the frame.

5)

When the lower hub has reached the midway point on the legs you can carefully push up on them until
the hub locks into place . If you encounter a lot of resistance when trying to push up on the
lower hub continue to pull the legs out until there is less resistance. Insure that all of the legs are fully
locked into place before proceeding.

Carefully pull frame apart

Step 2- ATTACHING the RAIN FLY (see next page)

6) Pull the canopy top into place making sure that it is facing the correct way. Pull the canopy corners
down over the top of the frame and attach the Velcro straps around the leg .

7) Move to the center legs and line up the Velcro on the inside of the canopy with the Velcro on the leg and
attach in place .

8) Raise the frame to the desired height making sure that all of the legs are set to the same height. Make
sure that all of the legs are fully locked into place.

9) Attach the remaining Velcro straps around the frame along the bottom of the canopy top .

10) Stake out the bottom of the legs using the steel hook stakes provided.

Step 3- EXTRA STABILITY in WINDY CONDITIONS (see above)

11) (FIGURE F)In windy conditions use the nail stakes and guylines to add extra stability .

Warning

The canopy is very susceptible to damage from high winds and every precaution
should be taken to prevent damage to the canopy and frame. This is extremely
important when the canopy is being used on a hard surface such as a driveway or
concrete. Weights such as sand bags or bricks can be used in place of stakes.

In very heavy torrential rain care must be taken to insure that water does not collect
on the canopy top as this added weight will cause damage to the frame. The canopy
should NOT be left without first detaching the canopy from the frame and allowing it
to fall INSIDE the frame to reduce the risk of collecting rain water, or the canopy can

be taken down.

Step 4- TAKING the CANOPY DOWN

1)

Pull up all of the stakes.

2)

Undo all of the Velcro tabs holding the canopy top to the frame.

3)

Lower the legs to the lowest height by pushing in on the locking button located at the top of

the lower leg.

4)

Unlock the lower hub on all of the legs by pushing in on the locking button located on the

inside of the hub and partially collapse the frame.

5)

Remove the canopy top to prevent damage from the frame.

6)

Fully collapse the frame.

Warning

The canopy top should be removed from the frame to prevent the frame from damaging

the material.
