ASSEMBLY
INSTRUCTIONS
SPITFIRE TENT:
This tent features a poke-up vent in
the fly, with zippered access in the
roof cloth. Pull it open and set the
stay with the hook and loop tab.
See fig. 9.
ASSEMBLY:
Unpack the carry bag and separate all the parts.
Unroll and unfold the tent and lay it on the ground with
the mesh side up. If windy, place
B into the wind and stake
down the web loop.
Do not drop tent bag or pole bag on its end. Do not bounce
tent bag on its end to get the tent out. These actions may cut
the shock-cord and/or damage the pole ends.
Assemble the shock-corded poles. Try to prevent pole
sections from snapping together, as this can damage the pole
ends. Make certain each insert end has seated firmly into
each plain end.
Insert the end posts of the long
tent pole into the web grommets
from C to D creating an arc. Then,
insert the end posts of the short pole
into the web grommets from
E to F .
See fig.1 and 2.
Attach the web buckle from the
corners of the fly to its mate on the
corner tent web. Adjust the web to
proper tension.
Be careful, when
finished, the fly must not come in
contact with the tent body. See fig. 7.
