start by sweeping out all dirt from the inner tent. Close all zippers. Pull up all
ground stakes. PUsH oUt tHe PoLes! never pull the poles out because the sections will separate from one
other not only making it difficult to get them out, but also causing undue stress and damage! Fold and roll up the
tent. Make sure that while rolling the tent, air is gently escaping from it.

It is important that you do not store a tent without completely drying
it first, except for short periods of time such as during a trip. After use it should be hung in a dry and well-
vented spot. Failure to properly dry all tent components before storing your tent can lead to molding. If the
tent needs cleaning use luke warm water only. stains should be cleaned with luke warm water as well. Using
cleaning products of any kind will damage the waterproofing on your tent. Avoid pitching your tent for long
periods in direct sunlight since UV-light damages all fabrics. Clean and/or replace lost ground stakes. If storing
your tent for long periods, unroll the tent and store with the fabric loose.
InserT greY pole
Your tent has three poles. one longer grey pole for the length of the
tent and two red poles that cross the width of the tent. Find the grey
pole fabric tab located on the outer flysheet. slide the grey pole
gently into the grey pole tab and through to the opposite end of the
tent. Insert the free pole end into the grey webbing tube which is
attached to the outer fly at the end of the tent near the logo where you
began.
InserT reD poles
slightly raise or elevate the tent off of the ground for easier insertion.
Locate the red pole sleeve tabs. these tabs are located on the
UnDeRsIDe of the flysheet with the word HAWK II. Gently slide the
first red pole into the pole sleeve and through to the end of the sleeve.
Insert the free pole end into the grey webbing tube. Repeat these
steps for the second red pole.
peg THe TenT
the Hawk expedition II tent is free standing, however, it must be
straightened out and staked down to secure it in place.
the tent comes with guy lines for use in windy conditions. It is
imperative to stake down the lines as far as possible from the tent for
best results in strong wind. they should, however, not be pulled so
tight that they distort the natural shape of the tent. Leave a bit of play
in the line.
