The fabric will burn if left in contact with any flame source.
The application of any foreign substance to the tent fabric
may render the flame-resistant properties ineffective.
•
To prevent carbon monoxide from entering the vehicle and
tent area, do not run the engine, do not cook inside the tent,
and do not use a gas heater in the tent. Carbon monoxide is
dangerous to your health.
•
Engine must be off and exhaust must be fully cooled before
tent installation and use.
•
Do not use candles, matches, or open flames of any kind in or
near the tent
