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 side to side across your tent. (it is marked at the
ends with white tape). 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
blue pole sleeves that are opposite each other on the roof of the tent. Slide the center ridge
tent pole (B) through the grey sleeves at the center roof of the tent. The center pole should
go above the other poles where they cross to 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.
NOTE:
Please make sure all three fiberglass poles go through the
fabric loop located at the center of tent roof where the poles cross.
STEP 6 :
Flex the fiberglass poles and attach the corner joints at the
other end of each of the three roof poles.
STEP 7 :
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 16 :
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 15 :
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 8 :
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 :
Clip the plastic hooks on the tent walls around the steel poles.
STEP 11 :
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 12 :
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 14 :
Unfold fly and stretch out all corners. Place the fly over the
tent making sure the Ozark Trail logo is located on the front left side
of 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.
