Component List:
1 Wired Tent Body, 2 Tent Poles, 1 Tent Fly, 2 Fly Poles, 1 Stake Bag w/Stakes,
1 Pole Bag, 4 Guy Ropes and 1 Carry Bag,
Your tent is now ready.
NOTE:
• Although it is possible to pitch this tent alone, it is faster/easier with two people.
• 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 shockcord and/or damage the pole ends.
• The N!ergy series tents are pre-wired with three 12V outlets. Take care to keep them in
their sleeves and avoid stepping on the sockets and wires during assembly.
3. Place a corner pin into the end of one of the poles.
At the opposite end, with the pole in one hand and a
pin & ring in the other, feed the pole up, bending it
evenly along its length to create an arc. Place the pin
into the end of the pole to maintain tension. Repeat
with the other pole. See fig 3 & 4.

4. Raise up the tent poles. Step inside the tent door and attach the peak
of the tent to the center of the top pole with the web clip. Attach the
remaining roof clips. See fig 5.
5. Attach the side clips to the poles to create a freestanding tent.
Place it in the desired location. See fig 6.
6. Stake the tent down through the corner web loops. Stake
opposite corners while applying tension to smooth the floor
wrinkles, squaring the tent as you work.
Also, stake out the floor
beckets at the center of each side and at the back of the tent.
See fig 7 & 8.
1. Unroll and unfold the tent on the ground. Separate the rest of the components and
place to one side. Open the door before pitching the tent. Do not stake the tent down
(however, in windy conditions, stake down one corner that faces into the wind). See fig 1.
2. Assemble the shockcorded poles.
Keep the end sections from snapping
together, as this can damage the
ends. Make certain each plain end has
been properly seated into the metal
ferrule. See fig 2.
8. Attach the fly to the tent. Turn the fly assembly over and align it so that the poles point out
over the doors. Grasp the corners of the of the fly and drag them up and over the roof to
completely cover the tent. (This is much easier with two people.)
At the corners of the tent, reach under the fly and attach the hook & loop straps to the tent
poles, securing the fly in place. See fig 12.
At the bottom/corners of the tent, attach
the shockcorded J-hooks to the
rings on the corner webs. See
fig 13.
At the bottom/sides of the fly,
pull out and stake down the
web loops.
9. Tie a guy rope to each
of the 4 rings
attached to the fly
and stake out.
Adjust tension
with the in-line sliders.
See fig 14 & 15.
E! Power System: To use, you will need a power source. Our E! Power Pak™ is sold separately. Once connected to
power, the control will display “green” at any switch that is “ON” and the “ON” socket will glow blue. See fig 16.
E! Power Port: Open zipper and run extension cord through opening.
Close zipper so that it rests next to the extension cord. Make sure
the zipper cover is not twisted or tucked. The cover must lay flat
against the outside of the tent to keep out rain.
Accessories: E! Power Fan/Light, E! Power Reading Light and an
E! Power 12v Adapter Cord.
Sweep Out: Inside, at the bottom of the door is a sewn-in web loop.
Pull this loop to the outside and stake it down to provide a ready exit
for floor sweepings. See fig 17.
Take Down: Pull up all stakes. Release the fly’s hook & loop straps. Remove fly.
Remove fly poles. Remove clips from tent poles and pull poles off of the pins.
Collapse all poles and stow. Fold the tent onto itself then fold the fly and lay it
on tent. Roll up both towards the open door and stow.
Read the important safety instructions on the reverse side.

7. Attach the fly to the poles. Lay out the fly with the inside side up, on ground at the front
of the tent. Fit the fly poles into the pockets sewn to the hem. The poles run from side to
side down the center of the fly forming an X. Secure the fly to the poles by wrapping the
hook & loop fastener around the fly poles. See fig 9, 10 and 11.
