ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS
FOR THE GRAND MANAN 7 TENT
Component List: 1 Tent, 2 Tent Poles, 1 Carry Bag, 1 Pole Bag,
1 Stake Bag w/ Stakes and Guys, 1 Rain Fly, 1 Fly Rod
Assemble the fly:
• Once the tent is securely staked down, spread the
rain fly out, upside down. Find the web pockets at
the top of the clear window. Place the ends of the
fly rod into the pockets.
• Wrap the Velcro® tab around
the rod to hold in place. See
Fig.6 & 7
Secure the fly to the tent:
• Turn the fly right side up and drape
it over the top of the tent. Align the
orange web on the fly to the orange
web on the tent. The fly rod should
poke out over the doors. Reach
under the fly and wrap the Velcro®
straps through the openings in the
sleeves and around the pole to
secure the fly to the tent frame. See
fig. 8.
• Also attach the wide Velcro® straps
to the patches on the sleeves at
each corner elbow. See fig. 9
• Locate the long adjustable web/buckle
assemblies on the underside at each corner
of the fly. Attach these buckles to their
mates on the corner stake-out webs and
adjust to proper tension. See fig.10
• There are also web/ring assemblies on the
bottom at each corner of the fly. Slide these
rings over the same stakes that hold the
corner web loops. Adjust as necessary. See
fig.11
• Grasp the web/rings on the vestibule and
pull out and away from the tent. Stake these
down and adjust tension. See fig.12
Feature:
The Grand Manan has exceptional air flow.
Detach the web rings from the stakes. Roll up the
fly sides for 4-way ventilation. Secure in place with
the attached loops and toggles.
NOTE:
In strong winds, tie extra cords ( included ) to
the storm rings on the fly and stake down. Adjust the
slider so that the cords are tight. See fig.13
Take down:
Pull up stakes and open doors. Remove the fly and
fly rod. Push poles out of the sleeves. Collapse all
poles and stow in the pole bag. Fold the tent/fly.
Roll up both along with the pole bag towards a
door. Stow all in the main bag.
NOTE:
Do not drop tent bag or pole bag on its end. Do not bounce
tent bag on its end to get the tent out. These actions may cut the
shock cord and/or damage the pole ends.
Rev B 4-09
Raise the tent:
• Unroll and unfold the tent and lay it on the ground. If it’s windy,
stake down one front corner into wind.
• Assemble all of the shock corded poles. Keep the pole sections
from snapping together, as this can damage the pole ends.
Make certain each plain end has been properly seated into the
metal ferrule. Lay the poles side by side and divide according to
length. Long for the tent and short for the fly.
• Insert one of the two long
poles into each sleeve. The
poles run corner to corner
across at the center through
the sleeves . See fig 1 & 2

• The tent is now freestanding. Place the tent in the
desired location and stake it down through the
corner web loops. Stake the opposite corners while
applying tension to square the tent and smooth
any floor wrinkles. It works best to do this before
you add the fly. See fig.5
YOUR TENT IS READY!

• Insert the post end of a pole into a
grommet on the corner stake-out web.
See fig.3
• At the opposite corner, grasp the web and
simultaneously push the pole to form an
arc. Insert the post end into the grommet
on the corner stake-out web to
maintain tension. Do this again with
the second long pole and the other
pair of corner webs. See fig.4
