body of the Raider out on the ground in position. Assemble the longer of the two poles - the head pole - and slide it through its sleeve at the widest part of the tent body. Insert the pole ends into their respective grommets at the sides of the tent. Stake the body out tightly in all directions. Assemble the shorter pole - the foot pole - and insert its ends into the grommets at the top and bottom of the foot of the tent. If not already attached, tie the foot guy line - with hook attached - to the bottom webbing tab at the bottom of the foot of the tent. The resulting line should be about 24” in length. Hook the foot guyline to the tab at the top of the foot of the tent. Loop the foot guyline around one of the stakes, pull tight, and drive into the ground. This will tighten the ridgeline of the tent, essentially erecting the body using tension. Drape the rainfly over the tent and buckle all attachment points. Find the grommet on the underside of the rainfly that corresponds to the foot pole’s location and join the two. Unhook the guy line hook at the foot of the body. Re-hook the guy line to the rainfly’s appropriate tab. Join the toggles and loops along the ridgeline of the tent body and the underside of the rainfly’s ridgeline. Make sure the rainfly is pulled tight. This may involve moving the foot guy line’s stake outward to tighten the ridgeline, or tightening the buckle attachment points at the corners.

care on your part is still required to ensure that your tent performs to its peak potential for years to come. • Follow all fire safety precautions from the reverse side of this label to ensure safety and longevity. • Avoid wearing boots inside your tent when possible. • Make sure tent is dry before storing to avoid mildew and dry rot. • Clean and dry tent after using. Spot clean with mild detergent and warm water. Air dry. • Prepare your campsite by clearing any sharp objects that might rip, snag, or puncture tent fabric. • Pack stakes, pegs, and/or poles carefully to avoid tearing or wearing of tent fabric, especially mesh parts. • Avoid exposure to sunlight for prolonged periods of time. Ultraviolet light is damaging to tent fabric. • This tent is not intended to be used as permanent shelter. Prolonged, consistent exposure to elements will break down materials over time. • When on the Trail, never store food in your tent. Wildlife will often force their way into a tent to get your food. • Handle poles, especially the joints with care and ensure pole sections are fully engaged before bending. Keep the poles clean and free of silt, sand, and saltwater. • Store your tent in a cool, dry environment. Excessive heat and humidity can destroy the waterproof coating. • Do not use harsh chemicals on tent fabrics. Avoid spraying insecticides, bug repellent, hair spray or aerosols anywhere near tent fabrics. These chemicals can burn through tent fabrics and degrade waterproofing • One of the keys to zipper longevity is to keep them free of sand and grit. When pitching your tent, be careful to keep the door and window zippers out of the dirt. Never step on the zipper. Clean zippers between trips with a garden hose and pressure nozzle. Treating zippers with silicon lubricant from time to time can also be helpful. 6101 Brewbaker Blvd. // Montgomery, AL 36116 Phone: 800.826.0446 // 334.286.0700 This product is made from materials which meet CPAI-84 specifications for flame retardancy.
