Care and Maintenance
Tent take down:
• Your product must be stored dry. One of the easiest ways to damage your product is by storing it
while it is wet. Storing a wet tent as short a 24 hours in warm weather is likely to cause mildew on
the fabric coatings.
• If you must close camp in the rain, open your product and set it up to allow it to dry as soon as
possible. Allow dirt to dry on the fabric after a rainfall before lightly sweeping it off with a brush.
For tougher stains, spray the area with water and lightly wipe it off with a few strokes. Do not use
washer or dryer.
DO NOT SCRUB THE FABRIC. ALWAYS MAKE SURE TENT IS COMPLETELY
DRY BEFORE REPACKING.
• This tent is made from synthetic fabric that has been treated and is highly resistant to the sun’s
Ultraviolet (UV) light. However, no fabric can withstand prolonged
ex
posure to sunlight.Do not leave
your tent set up for weeks at a time. Exposure to ultraviolet r
ays from the sun can damage and/or
discolor the material.
• The tent is water repellent. It is not waterproof. During heavy or continuous rain, some leakage may
occur. Avoid contact between objects and the inside wall or roof of the tent, as this may result in
leak-age at points of contact. In the event of seam leakage, apply a seam sealer compound.
• Do not spray or apply insecticide or pesticide on your product. It may damage UV resistant or water
repellent properties of this product.
• Clean the poles with a cloth and lubricate them with a silicone spray to help prevent corrosion and
keep from being gritty. This is especially important after using the product around salt water.
• Store the stakes in a separate storage bag. Do not pack the stakes inside the tent.
TAKE-DOWN TIP*
●
After collapsing the tent and gathering hub style frame togethe
r, spread excess tent material
away from frame and place it on its side. Start at the frame and roll it with pressure until it has
reduced in size. Fold the rainfly and wrap the folded rainfly around the rolled tent.This will keep
the tent tight and make it easier to place back into the carry bag.
● Remove all stakes from tent and guylines, store in stake bag.
● Detach the rainfly and set aside after folding it.
● Hold the webbed ring sewn to the steel ring of the tent at th
e center of the wall and push in until the
wall is collapsed.
● Hold the webbed ring sewn to the steel ring in the center of
one of the roof and push it in until the
roof is collapsed.
● Lay the tent flat, check and fold all the poles.
● Roll up the folded tent along with folded rainfly.
● Pack the rolled tent, folded rainfly and stake bag to carry b
ag.
