1-YEAR REPLACEMENT PARTS WARRANTY
This product carries a replacement parts warranty against defects 
in materials and workmanship for a period of 12 months from 
date of purchase.  At its discretion, the manufacturer may provide 
replacement parts.  Original purchaser will be required to provide 
proof of purchase.  The consumer will be responsible for shipping 
costs incurred outside of  the U.S. or Canada.

Warranties DO NOT cover normal wear and tear, misuse, abuse, 
inclement weather conditions (i.e. wind, rain, hail, lightning, 
tornadoes or hurricanes) or other acts of God, mildew and 
rotting, damage or fading caused by prolonged exposure to UV 
rays.  This warranty gives you specific legal rights.  You may also 
have other rights which vary depending on locale.
Under no circumstances shall the manufacturer be liable for 
any incidental or consequential damages.

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 of the tent, as this may result in leakage at 
points of contact. In the event of seam leakage, apply 
a seam-sealer compound.  

Although our products are manufactured according to rigorous 
specifications, periods of wind or rain may loosen the stakes and 
cause the frame to sink into the ground. This will weaken the 
structure’s overall rigidity. Puddles may also form on the roof if 
the unit has not been assembled tightly. If pooling should occur, 
it is advisable to drain the fly to avoid possible damage to frame 
and fabric. Adjustment of guy lines may be necessary. In case of 
inclement weather, remove valuables and seek appropriate 
shelter. Intended for recreational use only.

CLEANING:
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 IT IS COMPLETELY DRY BEFORE REPACKING. 

DANGER!

Stoves, lanterns, candles, grills, heaters and other fuel-burning 
devices produce carbon monoxide and will consume the
available oxygen in a tent. Use of such devices in a tent may 
cause asphyxiation, carbon monoxide poisoning, and death or 
serious and permanent injuries. For this reason:
-  DO NOT use fuel-burning devices inside or near this product.
-  Your failure to follow this warning may cause death or serious 
    and permanent injury to you or others.

WARNING!

- KEEP ALL FLAME AND HEAT SOURCES AWAY FROM THIS    
  FABRIC
.  This product is made with flame-resistant fabric,       
  which meets CPAI-84 specifications.  IT IS NOT FIREPROOF!   
   
The fabric will burn if left in continuous contact with any             
   flame source.  The application of any foreign substance to the     
   fabric may render the flame-resistant properties ineffective.

- Anchor  properly at all times and carefully consider campsite      
  choice.  Be aware of possible falling rocks or tree limbs,                    
  lightning strikes, flash floods, strong winds and other hazards  
  which may cause harm to this product or its occupants.
- Have a minimum of two adults for assembly.  During assembly 
  poles are under tension.  If not held firmly in place during 
  assembly, poles could break or flip up, possibly causing 
  serious injury.  
- Safety glasses may be worn throughout the assembly 
  process as an additional precaution.
- Exercise care when using electric devices in and near tents.

CTC 7-DAY REPLACEMENT WARRANTY

CAMPERS’ TIPS

The key to an enjoyable camping experience is planning and 
preparation.  

Before you go …

Research the area where you intend to camp.  Prepare for any 
possible weather condition.  Be aware of hazards and emergency 
protocol.  Know the rules and regulations.  

Check out your equipment before your trip.  Be sure your cook 
stove, lanterns, flashlights, air mattress, etc., are in good working 
order.  Erect your tent to become familiar with setup.  Once 
you’ve assembled your tent in a dry, well-ventilated area, apply 
seam-sealing compound to the stitching of the inside seams 
following manufacturer’s directions.  Allow to dry thoroughly 
before storage. Reapply annually. 

Checklists are great planning tools. Here are some areas to 
consider.

Camp setup: Tent, chairs, table, ground cloth, entrance mat, tarp, 
poles, rope, stakes, bungee cords, duct tape, zip ties, 
hammer/tools, bedding.

Kitchen setup, food and beverages: Plan for transport, 
preparation, storage and disposal.  Remember to pack 
fire-starting devices in waterproof containers, and bring pots, 
dishes, utensils, can opener, heavy-duty garbage bags and 
biodegradable soap.  Store your food in lockers or out of sight in 
vehicles. 

Clothing: Be prepared for all your activities.  Include a hat, 
sunglasses and quality socks.  Dress in layers. 

Hygiene: Personal toiletries, rubber gloves, basic first aid items.  
Don’t forget your medications.

Miscellaneous: Extra batteries, sewing kit, clothespins, dust 
pan/brush and insect-repellant.

Be considerate of others, humans and wildlife.
Remember to clean up and dispose of waste properly.
“Leave no trace behind.”
