Erect the Tent

Insert the metal tips of the pole into the grommets at points E

and F (Figure 2). Clip the Cam-Loc

™

located at point G onto the

center section of the pole, taking care

not to twist the webbing which con-

nects the Cam-Loc to the tent.

Do not engage the Cam-Loc at this

time. Attach the remaining Swift

Clips

™

, following the seam along

the path of the pole, between points E and F.

Once all the clips are attached to the pole you may engage the

Cam-Loc by turning the key 180° until it locks completely onto

the pole. When the Cam-Loc is is engaged the key should be

horizontal (Figure 3).

Flysheet

Drape the fly over the tent and position the zipper over the tent

door (Figure 4). At points A, B,C, D, E and F are ¾" side-release

“fly clip” buckles. Clip these buckles into their corresponding

mates on the tent floor and pull the straps until the fly is taut

(Figure 5). Now pull point H out until the vestibule is taut and

stake it down in that position. You can use a guy line to guy out

the fly at point K for increased ventilation, and points I and J for

increased strength in wind.

Ventilation

With the rainfly on, airflow is increased by guying out the rain-

fly away from the tent wall. Additionally, the door can be folded

back and tied in an open position.

First Pitch

In order to familiarize yourself with your new tent, we

suggest that you “test pitch” it before embarking on a

wilderness trip.

Select a Site

Look for a level spot that is protected from the wind in

order to ensure sleeping comfort. Clear the area of debris such as

sharp stones and sticks which might abrade or puncture the tent

floor. Choose an area that will drain well when it rains.

Unfurl the Tent and Assemble the Poles

Unfurl the tent and lay the tent floor flat on the ground with

the door unzipped. Carefully unfold the shock corded pole sec-

tions and allow them to slide together. Do not allow the poles to

snap together: This can lead to serious pole damage. Make cer-

tain that the insert of each pole section is fully inserted into the

next pole section (Figure 1). You will have one pole.

Stake Out the Tent Floor

First stake down the webbing loops at the front of the tent at

points A and B (Figure 2). Then move to the back of the tent

and pull the webbing loops at points C and D until the floor is

square and semi-taut, and stake them down. Next, stake out

points E and F.

How do I impregnate a tent? Verified

Pitch the tent, clean the cloth and let it dry. Apply the impregnation agent on the cloth with a plant sprayer or other spray. It is also possible to use a paint roller or brush. The cloth needs to be fully saturated with the impregnation agent. Also treat the inside of the tent. Thoroughly clean any windows with a moist cloth. Do not let the impregnation agent dry on it. Let the tent cloth fully dry. Repeat the treatment if needed.

Can I repair a tear or hole in the canvas of my tent myself? Verified

There are special pieces of self-adhesive patches of cloth available for synthetic tent canvases. Stick one of these patches on both sides of the hole or tear. For cotton tent canvases or mixed material tent canvases it's best to use patches that can be ironed on. This will require an iron.

The impregnation agent leaves white stains or a white haze on the tent cloth, what can I do about this? Verified

If the agent leaves a white haze or white stains on the tent cloth, this means you have applied more impregnation agent on those areas. This is not harmful and the stains often disappear over time. It is not advisable to use less impregnation agent to prevent stains. The cloth needs to be fully saturated with the impregnation agent to give good results.
