SAFETY WARNING -
Do's and Do Not's
EVERYONE WHO USES THIS TENT SHOULD READ THIS
MANUAL AND BECOME FAMILIAR WITH ALL SAFETY
WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS FOR SAFE USE,
ASSEMBLY, CARE, MAINTENANCE, AND STORAGE.
KEEP THIS MANUAL SO YOU CAN REFER TO IT LATER.
DANGER
CARBON MONOXIDE GAS WILL KILL YOU
Stoves, heaters, grills, lantern, candles, and other fuel-burning devices that
burn propane, natural gas, charcoal, kerosene, coal, or other fuels produce a
toxic gas called carbon monoxide. Because carbon monoxide gas is invisible,
odorless, and colorless, a dangerous level of carbon monoxide gas can
accumulate in a tent which cannot be detected by sight, smell, or taste. For
these reasons:
• DO NOT use matches, lighters, stoves, heaters, grills, lanterns, candles,
cooking equipment, or other fuel-burning devices inside or near a tent.
• DO NOT build fires inside or near a tent.
• DO NOT leave campfires unattended.
Your failure to follow this warning will cause death, serious injury, or permanent
disability to you or others.
DANGER
PROTECT YOUR CHILDREN
• DO NOT leave children unattended inside a tent or in camp.
• DO NOT allow children to assemble a tent.
• DO NOT allow children to enter or exit a tent except through the door.
• DO NOT allow children to remain in a closed-up tent on hot days.
Your failure to follow this warning will cause death, serious injury, or permanent
disability to your children.
WARNING
FLAMMABILITY WARNING KEEP ALL FLAME AND
HEAT SOURCES AWAY FROM THIS TENT FABRIC
This tent is made with flame resistant fabric which meets CPAI-84 specification.
IT IS NOT FIREPROOF. The fabric will burn if left in continuous contact with
any flame source. The application of any foreign substance to the tent fabric
may render the flame-resistant properties ineffective.
Your failure to follow this warning will cause death, serious injury, or permanent
disability to you or others.
CAMPING DO'S AND DON'TS
DO NOT...
1. Do not pitch tent near open fire.
2. Do not leave campfire unattended.
3. Do not leave children unattended inside a tent.
4. Do not use heating, lighting or cooking equipment with open flames
in or near tents.
5. Do not use other than recommended water repellent compounds
on your tent.
6. Do not spray the tent with insecticide.
7. Do not store tent on concrete floor.
DO...
1. Always extinguish campfire before leaving area.
2. Exercise care when using electricity and lighting in and near tents.
3. Make certain your tent is properly ventilated in all weather conditions. In
extreme weather conditions, snow could obstruct airflow and cause
asphyxiation unless cleared frequently.
4
Safety & Care
4. Anchor your tent securely to provide additional security
from changing climatic conditions. Snow pegs, skis and/or
heavy rocks may be necessary to supplement tent stakes
and guy cords.
5. Take your tent down and store properly after camping.
CARE
DO NOT LEAVE YOUR TENT SET UP IN DIRECT
SUNLIGHT LONGER THAN NECESSARY. THE SUN'S
ULTRAVIOLET (UV) LIGHT DEGRADES ALMOST
EVERY FABRIC AND MATERIAL. IF LEFT IN
SUNLIGHT FOR PROLONGED PERIODS OF TIME,
FABRIC WILL FADE AND WEAKEN. DO NOT STORE
TENT ON CONCRETE FLOOR. DO NOT SPRAY THE
TENT WITH INSECTICIDE.
Your tent is water repellent, however, it is not waterproof.
During heavy rain, some leakage may occur. Keep
objects from touching the inside of the tent. Such
objects may cause leakage at point of contact. If seam
leakage occurs, it can be controlled by applying a seam
sealer compound.
EXERCISE CARE WHEN USING ELECTRIC DEVICES
IN AND NEAR TENTS.
Although our tents and screen houses are constructed to
rigid specifications, periods of wind or rain soaking the
ground may loosen the stakes and cause the uprights to
sink into the ground. This will weaken the rigidity of the
overall structure. Water pockets may also form in the
roof if the unit is not assembled taut, possibly causing
broken frames and torn fabric.

WARNING: During assembly of the main room and
side room tent pole, the tent poles are in tension. If the
poles are not held firmly in place by adults during assembly,
the tension in the poles may cause them to break or one end
of the pole to flip up, which could cause serious injury to you
or others involved in assembling the tent. To avoid this
hazard:
• DO HAVE two adults involved in assembling the tent;
• DO HAVE one adult hold the end of the tent pole in
place in the grommets at the crossed tent poles. When
the tent and poles are raised, the first adult who is at
the rear of the tent, goes to the front of the tent and
completes the pole connection into the grommets at the
front of the tent.
Failure to follow this warning could cause serious injury to
you or others involved in assembling this tent.
STEP 1: Spread tent out flat, floor side down.
STEP 2: Extend fiberglass tent poles by pulling out each section
and placing it into the metal ferrule connectors. You will have five
poles. The two longest poles (A) are the main tent poles. The next
pair of poles (B) will be used on the sides of the tent. The single
pole with pre-bent ferrules (C) will be used for the front awning on
