DANGER!

Stoves, lanterns, candles, grills, heaters and other fuel-burning devices produce carbon monoxide and will consume the available oxygen in a tent. Use of such devices in a tent may cause asphyxiation, carbon monoxide poisoning, and death or serious and permanent injuries. For this reason:

- DO NOT use fuel-burning devices inside or near this product. - Your failure to follow this warning may cause death or serious and permanent injury to you or others.

WARNING!

- KEEP ALL FLAME AND HEAT SOURCES AWAY FROM THIS

FABRIC. This product is made with flame-resistant fabric, which meets CPAI-84 specifications. 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 fabric may render the flame-resistant properties ineffective.

• Anchor properly at all times and carefully consider campsite choice. Be aware of possible falling rocks or tree limbs, lightning strikes, flash floods, strong winds and other hazards which may cause harm to this product or its occupants.
• Have a minimum of two adults for assembly. During assembly poles are under tension. If not held firmly in place during assembly, poles could break or flip up, possibly causing serious injury.
• Safety glasses may be worn throughout the assembly process as an additional precaution.
• Exercise care when using electric devices in and near tents.

CLEANING:

Allow dirt to dry on the fabric after a rainfall before lightly sweeping it off with a brush. For tougher stains, spray the area with water and lightly wipe it off with a few strokes. Do not use washer or dryer. DO NOT SCRUB THE FABRIC. ALWAYS MAKE SURE IT IS COMPLETELY DRY BEFORE REPACKING.

CTC 7-DAY REPLACEMENT WARRANTY

Unpack and inspect all contents for defects in workmanship and materials within 7 days of purchase. If any defects are found, return the product to the place of purchase, along with the proof of purchase, and it will be replaced free of charge.

2-YEAR REPLACEMENT PARTS LIMITED WARRANTY

This product carries a replacement parts warranty against defects in materials and workmanship for a period of 24 months from date of purchase. At its discretion, the manufacturer may provide replacement parts. Original purchaser will be required to provide proof of purchase. The consumer will be responsible for shipping costs incurred outside of the U.S. or Canada.

Warranties DO NOT cover normal wear and tear, misuse, abuse, inclement weather conditions (i.e. wind, rain, hail, lightning, tornadoes or hurricanes) or other acts of God, mildew and rotting, damage or fading caused by prolonged exposure to UV rays. This warranty gives you specific legal rights. You may also have other rights which vary depending on locale. Under no circumstances shall the manufacturer be liable for any incidental or consequential damages.

The tent is water-repellent. It is not waterproof. During heavy or continuous rain, some leakage may occur. Avoid contact between objects and the inside of the tent, as this may result in leakage at points of contact. In the event of seam leakage, apply a seam-sealer compound.

Although our products are manufactured according to rigorous specifications, periods of wind or rain may loosen the stakes and cause the frame to sink into the ground. This will weaken the structure's overall rigidity. Puddles may also form on the roof if the unit has not been assembled tightly. If pooling should occur, it is advisable to drain the fly to avoid possible damage to frame and fabric. Adjustment of guy lines may be necessary. In case of inclement weather, remove valuables and seek appropriate shelter. Intended for recreational use only.

For your tent, screen house or canopy DO NOT...

• Pitch near an open fire.
• Use candles or open flames of any kind inside or near it.
• Leave children unattended inside.
• Use fuel-burning, oxygen-consuming devices (heaters, lanterns, cooking stoves or other flame sources) inside.
• Refuel lamps, heaters or stoves inside.
• Smoke inside.
• Store flammable liquids inside.
• Use water-repellent compounds other than those recommended for use on outdoor equipment.
• Spray with insecticide.
• Store on concrete floor.

For your tent, screen house or canopy DO...

• Always extinguish campfire before sleeping or leaving the area.
• Exercise care when using electricity and lighting.
• Make certain it is properly ventilated in all weather conditions. In extreme weather conditions, snow could obstruct airflow and cause asphyxiation. Clear frequently.
• Anchor securely to provide additional security in changing climatic conditions. Snow pegs, skis and/or heavy rocks may be necessary to supplement stakes and guy lines.
• Take down and store properly after camping.

CAMPERS' TIPS

The key to an enjoyable camping experience is planning and preparation.

Before you go ...

Research the area where you intend to camp. Prepare for any possible weather condition. Be aware of hazards and emergency protocol. Know the rules and regulations.

Check out your equipment before your trip. Be sure your cook stove, lanterns, flashlights, air mattress, etc., are in good working order. Erect your tent to become familiar with setup. Once you've assembled your tent in a dry, well-ventilated area, apply seam-sealing compound to the stitching of the inside seams following manufacturer's directions. Allow to dry thoroughly before storage. Reapply annually.

Checklists are great planning tools. Here are some areas to consider.

Camp setup: Tent, chairs, table, ground cloth, entrance mat, tarp, poles, rope, stakes, bungee cords, duct tape, zip ties, hammer/tools, bedding.

Kitchen setup, food and beverages: Plan for transport, preparation, storage and disposal. Remember to pack fire-starting devices in waterproof containers, and bring pots, dishes, utensils, can opener, heavy-duty garbage bags and biodegradable soap. Store your food in lockers or out of sight in vehicles.

Clothing: Be prepared for all your activities. Include a hat, sunglasses and quality socks. Dress in layers.

Hygiene: Personal toiletries, rubber gloves, basic first aid items. Don't forget your medications.

Miscellaneous: Extra batteries, sewing kit, clothespins, dust pan/brush and insect-repellant.

Be considerate of others, humans and wildlife. Remember to clean up and dispose of waste properly. "Leave no trace behind."

CTC1614104 (076-5508-4) ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS

IMPORTANT NOTES:

* Assemble your tent before camping to become familiar with the assembly. * Two people are recommended for setup. * Select a clean, level area for the campsites, free of debris and sharp objects, away from any natural watercourse. * Use of a ground cloth is recommended to prolong the life of the tent floor and provide additional insulation and moisture protection. * To prevent damage to the zippers, unzip the doors and windows of the tent prior to disassembly, allowing air to move freely. * Seam-seal the inside stitched seams of the tent. This will improve weather resistance. Available in sporting goods departments. Discolouration may occur if applied to outside seams.

TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE

PROBLEM	SOLUTION
1. CONDENSATION	Condensation occurs when warm, moist air inside tent comes in contact with cooler outside air. Avoid touching walls to reduce contact leakage. Venting doors and windows will reduce condensation. Store wet clothing outside of tent. A battery-powered fan may be helpful. Not applicable to screen houses.
2. SEAM LEAKAGE	Apply a generous amount of seam-sealer on inside seams. Seam-sealer may be purchased at any local sporting goods store.
3. MILDEW	To avoid mildew, store tent/screen house ONLY when thoroughly dry. However, if mildew occurs use a soft-bristle brush or sponge with mild dishwashing soap or Fels Naptha soap to clean. Let dry thoroughly and a tent-approved water-repellent compound may be applied.
4. REPAIRING A TEAR	For small tears use a self-adhesive patch kit. We recommend a canvas or awning repair shop for larger tears.
5. FAULTY ZIPPER	Zippers are self-repairing. If the zipper separates, you can move the slider to the beginning of the zipper tape and rework the zipper.
6. FADING FABRIC	Do not leave up in direct sunlight longer than necessary. If left in sunlight for prolonged periods of time, fabric will fade and weaken.
7. FLOOR CONDENSATION	A ground cloth under the floor helps prolong its life, provides additional insulation and moisture protection. The cloth should be smaller than the floor to prevent rain from running under the tent. Not applicable to screen houses.
8. USE OF STAKES	Stakes should be installed at a 45° angle using a hammer or mallet. Stake loops should be kept taut without over-stretching fabric or webbing. This could cause tears or leakage. To remove safely, use a hammer or stake puller. Do not remove by pulling on the fabric.
