ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS
To prolong the life of the tent floor, select a level, clean area for the campsite. To
prevent damage to the zipper, unzip the door to allow air to enter the tent. To improve
the weather resistance of your tent, it is advisable to use seam sealer to coat all
exposed seams. You should apply only to the underside of the fly and inside seams of
the tent. If applied to the outside seams, discoloration of your tent may occur. Seam
sealer is available in the camping section of any local sporting goods store.
IMPORTANT :
WE ADVISE YOU TO ASSEMBLE THE TENT ONCE BEFORE
GOING CAMPING TO BECOME FAMILIAR WITH THE ASSEMBLY OF THE TENT.
NOTE :
PLEASE LOOK AT THE REPLACEMENT PARTS DIAGRAM TO SEE HOW
YOUR FRAME IS ASSEMBLED.
STEP 1 :
Spread the tent out flat, floor side down. Unzip the doors.
STEP 2 :
Stake tent to the ground by inserting steel stakes through the
rings located at each tent corner. Hammer stakes into the ground at a
45° angle by using a hammer or mallet, making sure to pull tent floor
out even and snug. Continue to stake down all intermediate stake loops.
STEP 3 :
Locate the four fiberglass tent poles. Extend
each fiberglass pole by pulling out each section and
placing the pole ends into the metal ferrule connectors.
The two longest fiberglass poles (A) are the main roof
poles, which run diagonally corner to corner across
your tent roof. The next shorter fiberglass pole (B) is
the center roof ridge pole, which runs front to back
across your tent. The shortest fiberglass pole is the
screen porch roof pole (C). Please see tent top view.
STEP 4 :
While making sure the tent sleeves at the roof
of the tent are in line with each other, slide the two longest tent poles (A) through the
red pole sleeves that are opposite each other on the roof of the tent. Slide the center ridge
tent pole (B) through the tan sleeves at the center roof of the tent. The center pole should
go above the other poles where they cross two form an “X”.
Please see tent Top View.
STEP 5 :
Attach the plastic corner joints (F) to one end of each fiberglass
pole. The smaller opening of the corner joints with “teeth” fit over the
ferrules on the fiberglass pole ends.
STEP 6 :
Flex the fiberglass poles and attach the corner joints at the other end of each
of the three roof poles.
STEP 7 :
Tie the tent roof poles into place at the top center
of the tent with the fabric ties.
STEP 8 :
Extend each of the eight steel poles, by pulling out each
wire-corded section and placing the jointed ends into the connected pole sections. The
six poles with the D-ring are the main tent upright poles (D). The remaining two are the
screen porch upright poles.
STEP 17 :
Guy ropes have been provided for the fly. Extend each of the guy ropes
which are attached to the fly edges. Make a loop at the opposite
end of the guy rope, by using slider as shown and place loop
over a tent stake. Adjust slider to make guy rope tight and stake
to the ground.
STEP 16 :
Secure the tent to the fly by wrapping the Velcro fasteners
at each corner of the fly around the metal tent poles as well as securing
the ties on the underside of the fly to the corner joints.
Tent should appear
as shown.
NOTE :
To take down tent, follow steps above in the reverse order. Be sure to leave
door and windows unzipped. Place stakes into stake bag and poles into pole bag,
which are provided.
Make sure tent is clean and dry before storing.
The tent
should be folded into equal parts toward the center of the tent to distribute the bulk.
Fold fly and lay on top of tent. Start a small tight roll, the width of the carry bag, with
the pole bag placed at the end opposite the door. Roll tent toward door to allow air to
escape. Once rolled, tie a string or rope around tent to hold into place. Place tent,
frame and stakes into carry bag.
Tent should appear
as shown.
STEP 9 :
With an adult at each corner on one side of the tent, insert
the end of the steel main upright poles (D) into the bottom opening of
the plastic corner joints. Position the two steel upright poles so the “D”
ring for the fly attachment is on the upper end of the pole.
STEP 10 :
Each adult should lift up on the steel pole and while raising
one side of tent, place the bottom end of the steel pole over the metal
pins located on the rings at the base of the tent.
STEP 11 :
Using the four remaining main upright poles (D) , insert one
steel pole into the open end of each of the plastic joints at the center of
the tent. One person will need to go inside the front screen room to do this. Follow the
same instructions as in Step 9, position the steel poles so that the “D” ring for the fly
attachment is closer to the top. With an adult on each side of the tent,
raise the tent and place lower end of the steel poles over the metal
pins at the tent corners. Repeat at the opposite side of the tent.
STEP 12 :
Clip the plastic hooks on the tent walls around the steel poles.
STEP 13 :
Slide the screen porch roof pole (C) through the blue pole
sleeve on top of the screen porch. Insert the ends of the pole into the
smaller opening of the corner joints (G).
STEP 14 :
Insert the side upright pole (E) into larger opening of corner joint (G)
connector. Slide the pole onto corresponding pin at the base of the tent. Repeat
for the opposite side of them room.
STEP 15 :
Unfold fly and stretch out all corners. Place the fly over the
tent. Attach the fly to the tent by attaching the plastic hooks on the fly
edges to the “D” rings on the steel uprights.
