5. Your tent should now be freestanding. Locate a zippered door and walk inside the tent. Once inside of the tent, place one hand on
the bottom of a roof hub and push up until the roof pops into position. [ SEE FIGURES 5 & 6 ]
NOTE: This step should be done with caution as there is a lot of tension on the roof hub and pole assemblies.
OPTIONAL: To attach the gear lofts, insert toggles into the “O” rings on the inside of the roof.
6. Move outside of your tent and begin securing your tent to the ground by using the provided stakes and tie down ropes. The stakes
can be fastened through each of the tent grommets and the tie down ropes can be tied around hub eye-bolts and tightened to a
stake in the ground. Use adjustment slides on the rope to achieve proper tension. [ SEE FIGURE 7 ]
7. Hammer stakes through the grommets located in each corner completely.

INSTALLING FLOOR
1. The tent must be set up before installing the floor.
2. Spread the floor out loosely inside the tent.
NOTE: There are colored alignment tabs both at the center of the tent panels and the center of each edge of the floor. Make sure that
you have lined appropriately colored floor tabs with the corresponding color tab on the wall panel to ensure the correct fit.
3. Start at the center of each wall using the colored aligning tabs as guides. Press the hook and loop strips together, working towards
the corners. [ SEE FIGURE 8 ]
NOTE: The Gazelle™ T8 tent can be taken down and stored with or without the floor attached.
INSTALLING THE RAIN FLY
1. The tent must be free standing with all six (6) walls popped out and the roof collapsed.
2. Slide the rain fly loosely over the tent roof. The short connecting poles should be on the underside of the rain fly.
NOTE: Make sure that your rain fly is oriented correctly to your tent before moving onto the next step. The correct orientation is such
that the small triangular flap with a plastic hook is positioned along the narrow panel of the permanent sleeping portion of the tent.
3. Starting at one corner, insert the male end of the short poles attached to the rain fly into the female end of the roof pole. Repeat
this for all four corners. [ SEE FIGURE 9 ]
