YOUR FRAME IS ASSEMBLED.
TO PROLONG THE LIFE OF THE TENT FLOOR, SELECT A LEVEL, CLEAN AREA FOR
THE CAMPSITE. TO PREVENT DAMAGE TO THE ZIPPER, UNZIP THE DOORS TO
ALLOW AIR TO ENTER THE TENT.
TO IMPROVE THE WEATHER RESISTANCE OF YOUR TENT, IT IS ADVISABLE
TO USE SEAM SEALER TO COAT ALL EXPOSED SEAMS. YOU SHOULD APPLY
ONLY TO THE INSIDE SEAMS OF THE TENT AND UNDERSIDE OF THE TENT
FLY. IF APPLIED TO THE OUTSIDE OF SEAMS, DISCOLORATION OF YOUR

the directions that came with the canopy. Make
sure it is staked to the ground.
STEP 2: Spread the tent out flat, next to the
canopy with the floor side down and unzip the
doors. Locate the doors so that they face the
center of the Canopy.
STEP 3: Locate the four hooks on the elastic cording that are located
in the upper corners of the tent. These connect to the eyelets in the
upper corners of the canopy Starting at one corner of the canopy
connect the hooks. Continue to connect the remaining hooks to the canopy frame.
STEP 4: Attach the clips along the sides of the canopy to the canopy frame.
STEP 5: There are fabric ties above the two
doors - attach these to the canopy frame.
STEP 6: There are hooks located at the bottom corners of the tent.These
should be connected to the holes in the bottom of the three canopy legs.
STEP 7: Tie the fabric ties located on the tent around the canopy
legs to secure the tent to the canopy frame.
STEP 8: Extend the two fiberglass tent poles (A) by pulling out each section and placing
the ends into the metal ferrules. These will
be used to extend the two sleeping areas.
STEP 9: Slide one pole through the blue sleeve
on the roof of one of the sleeping areas.
STEP 10: Place the ferrule at one end of the pole onto the pin located
at the base of the tent.
STEP 11: Go to the opposite end of the pole and flex the pole. Place the ferrule
at the end of the pole onto the metal pin at the base of the tent.
STEP 12: Clip the plastic hooks on the tent to the fiberglass pole.
STEP 13: Stake down the first room by inserting stakes through the stake loops
at the corners of the tent and hammering stakes into the ground at a 45° angle,
making sure the tent floor is pulled out even and snug. Continue staking down
the room with the stakes through the rings where the poles attach to the pin.

STEP 15: Attach the hooks for each fly to the fabric loops located next to the clips
that hold the tent to the fiberglass pole.
STEP 16: Secure the fly by wrapping the Velcro fasteners at
each corner of the fly around the tent pole.
STEP 17: Guy ropes have been provided for the fly. Extend
each of the guy ropes which are attached to the fly edges and
the rear vent. Make a loop at the opposite end of the guy
rope, by using slider as shown and place loop over a tent
stake. Adjust slider to make guy rope tight and stake to the
ground.
Tent should appear
as shown.
NOTE: The fly can be rolled back above each sleeping area and above the rear
pass through door and can be with toggles to allow extra ventilation.
NOTE: To take down tent, follow steps above in the reverse order. Be sure to leave
doors and windows unzipped. Place stakes into stake bag and poles into pole bag,
which are provided. The tent should be folded into equal parts toward the center
of the tent to distribute the bulk. Fold fly and lay on top of tent. Start a small tight
roll, the width of your carry bag, at the end opposite the doors. Roll tent toward
doors to allow air to escape. Once rolled, tie a string or rope around tent to hold
into place. Place tent and stake bag into carry bag. MAKE SURE TENT IS CLEAN
AND DRY BEFORE STORING.
