WARNING:
Do NOT operate any device which burns fuel inside this tent.
Combustion consumes oxygen, and can produce dangerous levels of
carbon monoxide which could lead to serious injury or death.
Tent Use, Care and Maintenance:
• When picking a tent site, avoid low spots. Clear your site of sharp
ob-
jects such as stones or branches. If possible, use a ground cloth under
the tent to protect the floor. Make sure the ground cloth doesn't stick
out or it will funnel water under the tent.
• Do not cook or keep food in the tent. A hungry animal that smells
food will chew or claw through fabric.
• Remove your boots before you enter the tent. Sweep out the tent
daily to protect the floor.
• Insect repellent, stove fuel, hair spray, fruit juice, and acid from
leaky
batteries can damage the fabric. Do not put them in the tent.
• Repair Kit: The seams of the tent body and rain fly are factory seam
taped and require no sealing. If there is water intrusion due to dam-
age, apply Seam Grip found in the repair kit. Set the tent up. Make
sure the fabric is clean and dry. Follow instructions on Seam Grip. Al-
low to dry. If quick dry is necessary, follow instructions on the talcum
packet from the repair kit.
• Pole repair sleeve. Hold the broken pole together and slide the pole
repair sleeve over the break. Pitch tent, holding the pole repair sleeve
in place. When the pole bends enough, the repair sleeve will not
move. Replace broken rod as soon as possible.
•
Small holes. Seal extremely small holes with Seam Grip. For holes up
to 1/2" across, put a piece of tape over the hole on the outside of the
tent. From inside, apply Seam Grip at least 1/8" thick and 1/4" beyond
the damaged area. Keep level. Remove the tape when Seam Grip is dry.
Striking The Rain fly
Pull up all stakes. Unfasten Velcro® from poles. Pull all pole posts out
of all grommets. Disconnect rain fly pitching webs.
