Erect the Tent
Insert the metal tips of one of the long poles into the grom-
mets at points A & D. and the tips of the other pole into
the grommets at points B & C. Pull the two poles up so
that they intersect at the center of the tent. Next, posi
-
tion yourself in the open doorway and hook the Clip-Loc
over the widest angle of this intersection (do not attach
the bungee cord yet). Following the tent seams between A
& D, and B & C attach all of the Swift Clips to their cor
-
responding tent poles. Now take the remaining short pole
and thread it between the two main poles at the apex of
the tent and insert the tips into the grommets at points E
& F (Figure 3). Now attach the bungee cord on the Clip-
Loc at the apex of the tent by wrapping the bungee in the
direction crossing the open gate of the clip. Wrap the cord
around the pole intersection 2 to 4 times, depending on
desired firmness, then, slide the cord into the groove on the
backside of the clip to keep it taut (Figure 4).
Vestibule Section
Because the Baku 2 has integrated vestibules there is no
separate rainfly. To complete the set-up pull out point G
(Figure 3) until taut and then stake out. Repeat this step
on the other side for point H (Figure 3). For increased
stability and strength in high winds, points I, J, K, & L
can be guyed out.
Ventilation
Proper ventilation is essential for creating a comfortable
living space inside your tent. Each vestibules door panel
can be rolled away for maximum ventilation. In addition
to the above the Baku 2 has been built with two vents, one
on each side of the tent. By opening these vents and using
the zipper at the top of the vestibules you can regulate the
ventilation.
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
sections and allow them to slide together. Do not allow the
poles to snap together: This can lead to serious pole damage.
Make certain that the insert of each pole section is fully in
-
serted into the next pole section (Figure 1). You will have
two poles of equal length and one short pole. Each of the
longer poles will have two pre-bent sections at the end of
each pole (Figure 2).
Stake out the Tent Floor
Although the Baku 2 is a freestanding tent, we suggest that
you always stake out the floor for greater safety and stability,
especially in high winds. First stake the webbing loops at
points A & B (Figure 3). Then move to the opposite side of
the tent, pulling the webbing loops at corners C & D until the
tent is squarely and tautly positioned, and then stake down.

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.
