XF1 Assembly:
1.
Remove the Escape XF1 from the carry bag and with the door facing upwards, lay the it in the
required position and peg the two rear corners into place. Carefully open the outer arms.
2.
Standing in front of the doorway and holding the front crossbar, pull the Escape XF1 upwards
and towards you to raise the bivvy into position. Stand inside the bivvy and lock the two internal
X-Frame bosses into place by sliding them upwards along the internal side bars until firmly
seated in the location point.
3.
Clip the two short non-adjustable tension bars into their corresponding position to extend the
front peak. Clip the long curved non-adjustable tension bar across the two shorter bars to ensure
no rainwater can pool in the peak area.
4.
Peg the perimeter of the bivvy to the ground and zip on the flysheet if required
(see fitting instructions).
5.
Unfold the groundsheet inside the Escape XF1 and affix to the skirt using the velcro fixing
points. Note that the small RidgeMonkey logo indicates the front of the groundsheet and
should be placed in the door area.
6.
Clip the four adjustable tension bars between the rear bars of the inner X-Frame. These only
require light pressure to operate effectively, DO NOT over-extend.
