WARNING

lightweight gear and personal articles. Do not place heavy
objects in them or damage to the tent, or injury to the

CAUTION
VERY IMPORTANT
—Your tent must be completely dry, inside and out, before
storage! Your tent may be damp from condensation even if there has been no
rain. Storing a wet or damp tent, even for a short time, can ruin it and void the
warranty. This causes mold that will cause a bad odor, stain and deteriorate
the canvas and its water repellency.
If you must take the tent down while still wet or damp, loosely roll it for
transport. After transport, immediately unroll and set up or hang out to dry
thoroughly before long-term storage.
WARNING
Poles are under tension. Grasp poles firmly. Keep
face away from poles.
