2.
Assemble the shock corded
poles
and divide according to
size and shape. Take care;
make sure that each pole
section is fully seated into the
next. Do not allow the
sections to snap together as
this can damage the ends.
See fig 2.
1.
Remove from the carry bag
and separate all the components. Unroll and unfold the
fabric top side up, on a clean, dry space and open the doors. If windy, stake down the
windward corner. See fig 1.
Guy Out:
This tent has very large straight walls that act differently in high winds. If there
are high winds, carefully follow the guy out instructions on the back side of this sheet.
Power Port:
Open zipper and run extension cord
through opening. Close zipper so that it rests
next to the extension cord. Make sure the
zipper cover is not twisted or tucked. The cover
must lay flat against the outside of the tent to
keep out rain. See fig 15.
Take Down:
Remove the poles from the fan door.
Pull up all stakes. Pull wall poles off of the pins
and remove poles. Remove roof poles. Collapse
all poles and stow. Fold the tent onto itself then
roll up towards the open door and stow.
Options:
Floor Saver and Fly/Awning.

3.
Build the roof frame.
Inset three black roof poles into the nylon elbows on one of
the main poles at
A, B
and
C
. This forms the outer ridge. Move to the opposite side
and again fit the same three poles into the nylon elbows of a second main pole at
D
,
E
and
F.
This forms one half of the roof. See fig 3 and 4.
3.
Continue
with the remaining three roof poles
and main pole on the opposite side to
complete the roof assembly.
See fig 5.
4.
Attach the fabric to the roof
frame
. Hook the shockcorded
J-hooks to the brass rings
and to the holes in the
elbows.
Snap the web clips to the poles. It is best to start in the center and work your way out. You
must do this now because you won’t be able to reach the clips and hooks once the walls
are raised. See fig 6, 7 and 8.
NOTE:
If you intend to install the optional fly/awning, do now. It is far easier to attach the
fly/awning while the roof is still on the ground.
Installation of the Optional Fly/Awning:
Step I: Lay the Fly out on the ground in front of the tent, with the awning to the far front.
Step II: With 2 people, grab the rear corners of the Fly & walk it over the top of the frame
from front to back.
Step III: There are 6 frame extensions, 1 each at the ends of the center ridge and eave
poles front and rear. See fig 9 positions A,B, D, E, F- position C not visible. At the rear of
the Fly, slide the 3 extensions in to the pockets sewn on the Fly (positions A, B, C).
Repeat this step along the front of the tent at positions D, E & F. [Continue with tent
set-up at number 5 'Raise the tent'.]
Step IV: Once the tent is completely set up and staked out, insert the awning poles and
stake them out. See fig 11.
NOTE: When properly seated, the small
spring on the pole will click into place.
5.
Raise the tent.
Start on one side and insert
gray wall poles into the elbows. Locate the web
ring/pins attached to the floor of the tent. Insert
a pin into the base of each pole. See fig 9 & 10.
Repeat on the other side until the tent is at full
height and freestanding.
7.
Assemble the fan door frame.
Slide the
fiberglass fan door poles, rubber end up, into
the bottom of the door sleeves. Insert pins
from the web loop into the bottom of these
poles. See fig 12 & 13. Tuck the door into its
perimeter envelope.
There is a web loop on each side of the fan
door, stake these down.
8
. Attach the splash guard.
To provide an
extra layer of protection, there is a flap that
runs across the bottom near the inside of
the door. Attach the J-hooks from this flap to
loops at the front corners. See fig 14.
6.
Stake the tent down
. Stake
out the corner rings first. As
you work your way around the
tent apply tension to square
the tent and pull out any floor
wrinkles. Align the center
poles with the corners and
stake out web side rings. See
fig 12. [If you have the
Fly/Awning option, now
complete 'Step IV'.]
Important:
Make sure the
bottom front of the tent is in a
straight line, from corner to
corner.
