Never use any fuel-burning products (stoves, lanterns, heaters, etc.) 

inside or within proximity of this tent.

  Use of fuel-burning products 

inside or within proximity of this tent can result in the accumulation of danger-

ous concentrations of carbon monoxide–a colorless, odorless gas.  Breathing 

carbon monoxide will cause serious injury or death.

Keep all flame and heat sources away from this tent.

  This tent is 

made with flame resistant fabric which meets CPAI-84 specifications.  It is not 

fireproof.  The tent fabric will burn if left in continuous contact with an open 

flame or other heat source.  Failure to keep all flame and heat sources away 

from this tent can result in a fire that can burn, injure, or kill you.

Before using this product, read and fully understand:

  

(1) attached warnings; (2) the instruction manual and all accompanying 

documentation.  Failure to follow these directions can cause an unsafe situation 

leading to fire, burns, severe injury, or death. 

danGer

Never place your stove, campfire, or other flame source in or 

near your tent or shelter. Never cook, light, or refuel a stove 

or any other heat source inside your tent or shelter. Death by 

suffocation and/or serious burns are possible.

Maintain adequate ventilation inside your tent at all times. 

Death by suffocation is possible.

When choosing a campsite, carefully consider the possibility 

of falling rocks or tree limbs, lightning, flash floods, ava-

lanches, strong winds, and other potential hazards to reduce 

the risk of loss or injury to the tent or occupants.

Anchor your tent properly at all times to reduce the risk of loss 

or injury to the tent or occupants.

1. Never store Your tent Wet:

 Storing your tent while it’s wet (or even 

just damp) leads to premature breakdown of the fabric and coatings. 

(See page 6).

2. treat Your poles Well During setup:

 Most pole damage occurs  

during setup. Don’t allow the shock cord to pull and snap the ends together 

as this can damage the pole ends and result in breakage. 

(See page 7).

3. Use a Footprint:

 Footprints keep your tent floor clean and dry and they 

minimize floor wear by protecting it from excessive abrasion. 

(See page 4).

 

4. Don’t rush the Zippers:

 Be kind to your zippers. Go slow when zip-

ping. 

(See page 9).
