Pitching Information:

• Unfold pole sections, allowing them to click together gently.  Ensure all sections are fully inserted.
• Lay out the inner tent on the site you have chosen and peg out all four corners of the inner tent.  NOTE: If possible, pitch one end of the tent into the wind.
• Insert the tip of the longest pole (this is the middle pole) into the brass eyelet on one side of the inner tent.  Check the floor plan if you are unsure of pole position.  Flex the pole and place the other end of the pole into the eyelet on the opposite side of the tent.  The other two poles are both the same length and go at either end of the tent.  Once poles are inserted, connect the quick fix clips to the poles.
• Throw the fly sheet over.  To get the perfect pitch attach the velcro tabs on the inside of the fly around the poles.
• Peg out the four corners of the tent fly.  Connect and tighten the side release buckles near the peg out loops on the side of the tent.
• Guy ropes have been provided with this tent to stabilise it when exposed to windy conditions.

Care:

• Clear campsite of sharp sticks and stones and check for overhead dangers
• Use the guy ropes provided in windy conditions
• Prolong the life of your tent by using a groundsheet whenever possible
• Avoid leaving your tent pitched in direct sunlight for extended periods of time
• Always make sure your poles are connected properly in order to prevent pole ends from splitting
• Allow your tent to dry completely and remove any mud or dirt before storing
• Clean fly and floor with water and brush
• Keep zips clean of mud and sand
• Store tent loosely folded and in a cool area
• Avoid contact with harsh chemicals or direct heat
